Tiny Edible Fruit Sculptures (Look Choop)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 11 มิ.ย. 2024
- These too-pretty-to-eat little fruit sculptures are called "Look Choop" and they are traditional Thai sweet treats that are made from mung beans and coconut milk, glazed in shiny agar agar jelly. Not gonna lie these are a LOT of work, but the end result is worthwhile, and it can be a fun family activity if you've got kids! I used to make these with my mom when I was a kid and absolutely enjoyed the process and the end result. They also make great edible gifts! Vegan and gluten free, as many Thai desserts are :) #ลูกชุบ

ohyea
Oooohhh! 😍 they look yummy! I haven't tried "look choop" yet but I will try it if I'm in Thailand once this whole pandemic is over! Btw. P, please make ขนมลืมกลืน. (IDK if the thai characters were correct. but I'll sue my frnd it wasn't. Just kidding. 55555) Anyway, that's my fav. I forgot how my friend brought it from the TH 🇹🇭 to the PH 🇵🇭 I guess it was put in the cargo for it not to be affected by the pressure while the plane is in the air. Not sure. 55555 but it was so great and delicious! Nananana 🙏🏻☺️🙇🏻♂️
♥️♥️♥️ from the PH
Do you think if I melted sugar with some water it would create the same silicon for the glaze

I love how close to the breakdown she was when she was like “it only took like four hours to do these ten pieces”. 😂
I really relate to that feeling.
This surely brings back so many memories. When I was around 5 or 6 years old, just in elementary school (probably 2003-2004), I would tag long my grandma to the local market, and I would always ask her to buy this for me. We don't really call it by any name, just bánh đậu xanh, mung bean cake (mung bean khanom), and it was so interesting because it had different shapes. Not only fruits but sometimes animals, at least in my neighborhood. These things gradually disappear and I couldn't find them anymore in Vietnam, but always get some when I'm in Thailand.
Same I used to have it when I was a kid!! I loved to get this when I went to the local market with my mom too. The only difference is my experience was in Indonesia 😊
@@MagdaNarima we Asean brothers and sisters enjoy so many great things together lol our food, snacks and desserts are impeccable 🤣
We Asians take so much pains to make food n sweets. It's a labour of love for our loved ones.
Hellooo I did it but my agar agar was very thick although I did as you did 1 and half cup of water and 1 tablespoon of agar agar, but I didn’t know when It’s done
I can say with absolute certainty that I will never be making this recipe but this video gave me the most amount of joy everrrr! I laughed so much when you said 'only 4 hours for 16 pieces', but those wee fruits are so beautiful!
I just got to watch this video with my husband yesterday. This is an amazing way to keep him occupied for hours while I get my stuff done. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
The editing of this episode is way fancier!
I got really interested in Thai desserts because of "Until We Meet Again". 🥰
Looks delicious. I used to love getting these from my local market when I lived in Thailand. They were so creative with the shapes and every day there was new one. My favorite was in the shape of a rubber ducky.
I may have to try this some time.
This recalled so much memories, the first time I have this at a free market in Thailand. I don’t know what is this at the first time, but the second I bit into one, my life was changed.
I loved these as a child! I had no idea it was so tedious to make. No wonder you don't really see them in stores anymore.
It’s surely one of those “everyone wants to eat and nobody wants to make it” kind of foods. Beautiful though....
I made this when I was in the junior high in Thailand. There was a class once a week that teach us like how to make food or dessert then bring my finished dish home for my parents and my grandmother to try. They laughed everytime because some dishes didn't look close to call that name. I’m really miss those moments. Thanks for the recipe it brings me back my childhood memories.
So pretty
Hi Pai and Adam,
You were right you didn't sell it very well. With the last comment 4 hours to make 16 little fruits but it's not the efficiency we are looking for. It's the participation especially with kids. And this also makes wonderful gifts.
finally! a recipe thats easy to follow. i’ve tried other recipes but instructions were not so clear as this. thanks so much~
Pai thanking her pandan leaf for its services reminds me of my favourite aunt!
A tip for anyone who wants to try but doesn't want to spend the time...turn it into a once a year holiday treat! As a prep for any given holiday (or birthday) you can spend a day with the kids or spouse and make them. If it's a tradition, it's not such a chore. But a fun memory to look forward to every year 😁 or you can give it as a gift. Especially if you make the dough in advance, you can watch a show while rolling the shapes!
I just made these with my roommates (we're all graduate students) and they look terrible but we had so much fun and they taste good! Thanks for the recipe!
So beautiful, Pailin! Thank you for taking the time to show us all the steps!
It's a dessert that is called Marzipan. Also an adaptation of Portuguese dessert which uses almond flour which is not available in Siam (Ayutthaya or early Bangkok).
So cute! Mini fruits!
These are so cute, Pailin!!
Loveeee procedures including food coloring makes it look so entertaining to prepare.
My first hand experience on the bean:
don't make too big of the batch in 1 go that it overwhelms the wok, it makes it difficult to stir and some part will burn
don't let the it get to "very bubbly boiling", I got burnt by splashing bean paste for that
edited: for the leaf in many recipe I see they mention ใบแก้ว (Orange Jasmine, Murraya paniculata)
I used to make this when I was a child too! Sweet memories 💕Thanks for the great video Pai!
Always curious how these little fruits are made, this is so interesting and I can’t wait to try them when I’m in Thailand. The process is so tedious and really admire you and vendors for preparing these mini things which take hours
I'm smiling the whole time watching this because it's so funny and cute. I LOVE THESE SNACKS!! Such a great presentable snack for a family dinner.
Omg this was SO COOL to see you make!!! I remember traveling to Thailand with my family and seeing these being sold at the street vendors and they always looked so pretty. Yours turned out great and look exactly like them! Although I remember tasting them and not being the biggest fan of them as far as Thai desserts but that could just be personal preference. Thank you for sharing this recipe! It’s really interesting to see how they are made
Great video very helpful with good tips. Thank you. I have been thinking of trying to make these again but it does seem to take a lot of time. They are so cute and I love mung bean paste so I hope to make these soon. Last time I attempted I ended up just putting them in small different shaped molds for ease and no agar agar or just eating the paste. Every thing you mentioned is so true. Your video was fun to watch. I laughed every time you did. Your fruit turned out adorable. Great idea with the real leaves! Glad I found this video, it now seems more doable.
I can't believe it!!! I was waiting for a recipe for this unique cute looking dessert! So happy 😁
Watching you cooking and making things like these is always a joy even if I'm not planning on doing it myself! 🙈
you're such a bubbly cook, fun to watch your video and definitely will try doing what and how you did this adorable and cute little snacks👍
Omg I love these. They are my childhood food (even though I'm from Singapore) when my grandma returns from her vacation in Thailand. Now, I would always go on a hunt for these whenever I'm in Thailand. Thanks for sharing how to make these beautiful gems! Can't wait for travels to resume to eat these again!
Just go to a Thai grocery store. They should have it.
ต้องชุบซ้ำหลายๆรอบกว่านี้นะครับ อันนี้วุ้นมันบางเกินไป
How lovely are these little sculptures
Look Choop 😍 Reminds me of my childhood making this with Grandma. Looks really cute and yummy ka 😋
Oh my gosh this was adorable and fun.
I love these treats! I remember whenever I go to Bangkok to go bargain shopping, at Platinum mall, I always buy these in small plastic boxes and munch on them while shopping! ❤️
Thank you for doing this video! These little tiny “Look Choob” remind me of my elementary school year in Bangkok. They are too cute to eat though!
I learned about Thai culture in this video; Thanks! Very cute sculptures! Great for a rainy day. I would only make permanent sculptures with all that work, hehe. love your channel.
Beautiful and love the recipe!
I love look chup!! Thank you for the video..
You can also use the tips of herbs like mint or dill for leaves. I've seen 🥑, 🍎, brinjal 🍆, durian, dragon fruit, and watermelon too.
I absolutely love thicker layer pf agar on look choob.!!!
Thanks as we love it very much, I will buy boxes back whenever I visit Hatyai.
Those came out super cool can't wait to buy some in the store
That was fun and enjoyable to watch, thank you!
Thanks Pai for the great tips and tricks. Will use them the next time I make these. The last time I made this, I was feeling ambitious and made mini dragonfruits. Almost died for that ordeal, 5 hours of work for 18 pieces. XD
OMG dragon fruit!!! Good for you for trying!
I think oranges might be the most efficient fruit to shoot for! A nice simple shape and color...
i love the way you laugh yourself 🤣🤣🤣🤣 make me want to make that little lhukchup
Tried it just for the sake of how pretty and cute they looked but i really like the taste too... Fav thai dessert.
So cute! If I ever do try making this, it most likely will be the only time!! 😁 I love anything with sweet bean paste!
Thanks for posting this. We had this on a holiday trip to Bangkok as we were touring the local markets and found a vendor selling it. We tried to ask what it was but communication was an issue there. Nevertheless, we tried it anyway and I never had anything like it! It was super delicious and now I finally know what they were made of
I like this drawing: th-cam.com/video/s-BGYKNolcU/w-d-xo.html 666
Sa wat di kha🙏
Interesting 👍👍👍
My favourite Thai snack! Can’t wait to make this when I have time hahahahah
어떻게 이렇게 예쁠 수 있죠? 너~~~~~무 예뻐서 도저히 먹을 수 가 없어요 😍😍😍
*SOOOÒ~~~~~CUTE😁😁😁❤*
These are real cute. I used to think the chilies will taste spicy but it doesn't!
They look amazing 😍😋
this is almost terminally cute - plus tiny instruments (which I also got)! and you splain stuff real good - so cap cun cap (bad memory - it's only been 40 years since I last talked Thai!)
I requested this👍 thanks for sharing 😘💕
I'm not even going to consider making these, but this was a super-fun recipe video to watch!
They look so cute i want some!
I love this! Hard to find now during pandemic.. seem like I have to make my own😂
Thank you very much.
Ah! Brought the memories of all that bl series I've watched 😩🤧✋💕
so cute!
I can’t wait to make it! I eat this all the time in Thailand
I remember eating this as a kid...nowadays its kinda hard to find vendors selling these...or if there are then the price would be so pricey hahaha now i can try make it on my own hehe
Thanks.i used to eat these good sweets not knowing how theyre prepared.GBU
I did this one only one time in my life when I was a high school student for home economics subject.
It requires lots of patience and practice to do. LOL
Beautiful 💖❣️💕
I watched your video and another Thai video to take in how to do this because nobody makes it here in Australia or is very expensive when I know someone that makes it.
I used my blender and did the same.
The wok definitely is required and I took about good 30-40 minutes depending on portions.
So when you divide into 7g each, you might to re knee them as it might be a bit dry and might have cracks if you don’t redo by rolling and making them smooth then start shaping them.
Colouring
Be smart! Do yellows, mangoes, lemons etc, add some red to become orange than do oranges and carrots that saves you wasting colour
Agar agar powder, but the Thailand brand as the cheaper ones don’t set as fast and the Thai version is really good.
Thank you so much for this video.
I love these!
I used to buy these at the Talat near my office.
I do love sweets so much ❤
These look choop are too cute to eat but they are hard to resist as well😅 😍😋
Very good 👍 presentation congrats
thanks it look lovely
They´re so sweet!!! No pun intended! Thank you once again for bringing back wonderful memories of my childhood, Khun Pailin. I won´t mention when that was though. 😜
Thank you for sharing how to make these! They were a childhood treat for me too. But never knew how it was made. Didn't realize it took soo long to make. Can you show how to make my favorite?: Thong Yod, Thong Yip, and Foy Thong
I made this before..was quite soft and it slowly slipped down the stick but what a great experience.
เป็นขนมที่ชอบทานมากชนิดหนึ่ง และอยากลองทำนานแล้ว แต่ตอนนี้ไม่แน่ใจว่าควรจะทำหรือไม่ ถ้าต้องใช้เวลานานขนาดนั้น 😆
OMG, this is so amazing 😍
Wow thanks for sharing 😍 this is one of my favorite thai sweet. ❤
Ive been wanting to try this for foreverrrrrrr. But theres no where to get them around here! So now...im going to try to make them instead! So glad i found this vid! 🥰🥰
Loved this and will try to make with my son! Love how you speak fluent English yet have an accent still.
Wow nice recipe😋😋😋
Sooo cute 🥰
These look amazing! Unpopular opinion but I really enjoy the Italian Marzipan fruits. With an espresso…
Ok Italian marzipan WOULD go well with a nice strong coffee! Must try that some time :) Thanks! Adam
สีสัน รูปแบบน่ารักมากครับ
I LOVE these so much, I live in London and have no idea where I can get them! I always get them when the Thai Festivals are on but I haven't been to one in a while. I'm craving these so bad!
This is my favourite Thai dessert! Thank you so much for teaching this.
I keep requesting to learn to make them when I attend Thai cooking classes but they always can’t.
If it takes FOUR HOURS, I imagine they don't have enough time!
So cute
Wow, so cute 😍 so much work 😁, but you did it 👍👍👍👍👍
สวัสดีค่ะไพลิน wow this is awesome dessert I have got to learn how to do it
ขอบคุนมากค่ะ
I just spent the last 5 hours making this, but they’re beautiful and delicious!! I made some very realistic pears too
Well done!! :) HUGE amount of work ... Adam
@@adamthehtkminion6750 if only I had an Adam to help me film the journey…
@@sciencebunnyLol! I took a look at your Vegemite (very brave that BTW) and Tim Tam vids and you don't need me :) (though ok it does make the process easier ... so hope you find your Adam-clone :)) Cheers!
OMG i've been watching a luk chup asmr video last few days because i really wanna taste it so bad 😩😩😩 and then you upload this 😍😍😍😍😍
This is my first video of Pailin’s Kitchen and I am hooked!
But, I came here too say… THANK YOU! I’m an Indonesian and this dessert is part of my childhood! Oh how this speaks to my heart and soul! I’ve never known it was this ‘doable’ to actually make luk cup. Since living in NZ it is very rare to discover or find authentic SE Asian Cuisine/Desserts or source good quality authentic ingredients, but to know that I am able to make one of my childhood favorites is amazing! It is definitely a labor of love but the outcome is outstanding and so heartwarming! Are you familiar with Lapis by chance? If you’re able to please do a recipe to another of my childhood sentiments I would be over the Moon! Any who thank you for a down to Earth and heartwarming video, you’ve gained nether loyal viewer. 🥰🥰🥰 thank you!
สนุกจังค่ะ 😊 ดูคลิปนี้ได้ทั้งวิธีทำลูกชุบได้ทั้งฝึกฟังภาษาอังกฤษเลย 😊😊😊😊😊
Just saw your one ingredient challenge video and looove that idea! Can you turn celery to something amazing 🤩
We also have it here in Indonesia and it's called *"Kue Ku"*
_Thank u for sharing yours_
I would love to eat these as I like sweet red bean paste dishes. Not going to make them. Thanks for the demo.
