Traditional dry cakes (sesame cakes) in Trung Yen hamlet are produced by hand.

The mass-produced spring rolls undergo sun drying for just a few hours to collect. As for sesame cakes, they must be dried all day dry enough to bake before consuming. Photo: Tran Canh Yen. 
Each household producing spring rolls attracts 15-20 laborers with a working day of 170,000-250,000 VND / person. Children and the elderly still contribute labor to making rice cakes. Photo: Tran Canh Yen. 
The process of rolling the cake and collecting the rice cakes was hard and very urgent. If it is sunny, the drying cake starts to reach the point where it will pull out on the drying pad, then immediately collect it from the torn crackers; When it rains, people hang the cake “put their feet on the neck” and collect the cake from the wet.
