Why is it called banh chung, banh xeo?

Regarding the name of banh xeo in the Central region, Hue pancake or Hue cake , many people wonder, according to Mai Thi Tra, a Hue culinary artist, the ancients used a wood stove to make banh khot. When the flour is poured into the pan, the kitchen smoke rises a lot, causing the eyes to sting, so Hue people call this dish smoked cake.

“Hue people pronounce the word smoke like it sounds like fun, people read it wrong and get used to it and have the same name as it is now. Southerners call it banh xeo, perhaps because when the flour is poured into hot oil, there will be a very loud sizzling sound.”
