The primary component in the Hue Sesame specialty is sesame. Roasted peanuts are added to a paste made from boiling sugar, tapioca, malt, and honey. After that, the mixture is poured into the mold, and the outside is covered in roasted sesame seeds. The perfume of sesame leaves a lasting impression on people, combining the suppleness and sweetness of sugar with peanuts.
Food Trivia
Famous Vietnamese food, sesame candy, has its origins in Hue, the former capital. Though it doesn't have rice paper that has been sliced into little square pieces and coated with sesame, the ingredients appear to be the same as those of Cu-do candy. This specialty has evolved into a cultural icon for Hue.
