Kho me cakes are made from glutinous flour, rice flour, granulated sugar, ginger, and sesame seeds.  The rice flour is mixed with the glutinous flour, then poured into a mould to be steamed and then dried.  Next, the cakes are coated in sugar or sesame.  The ones that are coated in sugar are called “kho no”, whilst those coated in sesame are called “kho me”.  The delicious cakes are soft with well-dried sesame, and when they are broken the sugar must be like thin yellow silk cords.  Local families usually put these cakes on their altars on the death anniversaries of their relatives or at Tet.
