The savory version features glutinous rice blended with mung beans and pork, creating a rich, unforgettable taste.

3. Stuffed Bitter Melon Soup – Overcoming Hardships

Stuffed Bitter Melon Soup is both nutritious and symbolic. In Vietnamese culture, the bitter melon represents the wish to "overcome bitterness" from the past year, leaving behind difficulties and welcoming joy and happiness for the New Year.
