Taking advantage of the rare sunny weather at the end of the year, Ms. Nguyen Thi Ly (46 years old; owner of Viet Ly rice paper establishment, Thinh Truong commune, Nghi Loc, Nghe An) and her workers brought each tray of freshly made rice paper out to the drying rack to dry quickly in time to deliver to customers. "The weather forecast is for rain in a few days, so we have to hurry up and make a lot of rice paper and dry it quickly, otherwise if it rains, we won't be able to make it anymore," Ms. Ly said.

Tay Lan rice paper village produces rice paper all year round. However, during the Lunar New Year, the number of customers ordering is high, so the establishments also increase production of rice paper.

Every day, Ms. Ly's facility produces nearly 10,000 cakes. During Tet, Ms. Ly has to hire more workers to deliver to customers on time.

Tay Lan rice paper has a special delicious flavor, so it is very popular with customers. The owners of the cake production facilities said that the cake is mainly made from rice flour and sesame. However, each facility has its own secret to mix in spices to create a unique flavor and rich, delicious taste for the cake.

“To make the cake delicious, the ingredients must be of the highest quality. The rice used to make the cake must be grade 1 rice. Every year, my facility buys 600 million VND worth of rice. The sesame must be good quality black sesame to have a rich, fatty taste. When making the cake, we add spices such as pepper, garlic, salt, MSG... to make the cake delicious, fragrant, and flavorful,” said Ms. Nguyen Thi Ly.

After being coated, the cakes will be placed on each rack.

Then put out in the sun to dry.

Depending on customer's request, the cake will be packaged raw or baked.

"There are many orders during Tet so I'm busy, I work nonstop without any time to rest," said Nguyen Thi Han (50 years old), adding that she was hired to make cakes for a salary of about 250,000-300,000 VND per day.

Workers are always working hard to deliver to customers on time for Tet.

After drying, the cakes will be put into a heat oven. The hot, crispy, delicious cakes will be packaged by the facilities and sent to customers in and out of the province.
