Ram it consists of the two elements. “It” is a sticky rice dumpling filled with caramelized shrimp, pork belly and beans. The filling of the cake is cooked with the native shrimp of Hue which creates its special taste. The extra crispy cake in the bottom is what people call “ram”. It makes ram it different from the usual cakes.
The crispiness and chewiness perfectly complement each other and diners will not taste the greasiness in the fried part of the cake. It comes with sweet and spicy fish sauce or the Hue style special sauce for a better flavor.
