In ancient Vietnam, there once lived a King called Hung Vuong. He was a benevolent king who ruled wisely and with much kindness. As Hung Vuong grew old, he had to pick one of his children to succeed him. To help him decide, the sons were given an important task to prepare a meal fit for a king. The two older sons journeyed to the farthest lands to find the rarest ingredients. The youngest, Lang LiĂȘu, was a humble prince who merely prepared a simple meal with great care, using locally harvested rice grains, Vietnamâs most precious edible commodity. While his brothers impressed their father with exotic dishes using the most exclusive ingredients, Lang LiĂȘu fashioned simple glutinous rice cakes for the kingâthe bĂĄnh chÆ°ng and bĂĄnh giáș§y. Who will win the crown and rule the land?
