I feel seen! Hearing Asian women discuss the symbolism of the foods I grew up eating at Lunar New Year really puts into relief how long we've gone without this type of representation. Thank you NYT.
Love seeing this diversity and representation. It’s so refreshing and heartwarming to hear them discussing Chinese New Year traditions. This content brings a smile to my face, would love to see more of this!
I finally made this shortbread for my christmas cookie boxes. I wasn't sure I was going to love them because I'm not a fan of whole sesame seeds. Just making the dough last night in the food processor smelled amazing! Very sesame and somehow also very peanut-y. Rolled out the dough and used a cookie cutter as the log cookies take more effort for me somehow and I never get clean, even circles. They smell amazing out of the oven and taste even better! For presentation, the white sesame seeds are great, but next time I make these (and there will be a next time), I will omit on at least half if they are just for my family. Thank you NYT and Genevieve and Sue!
Both of these look so delicious, and I love all the cultural information-what a wonderful duo. I often use black (and white) sesame in sourdough bread baking, but I need to use it more in pastry and confectionary now, too.
I loved it! For people who never had the opportunity to visit China or get to know better the culture and traditions is so lovely to hear it and get the opportunity to make those recipes at home! Also I love sesame seeds! Can’t wait to try it! 🥰
I started learning Mandarin recently and am going to my first Chinese New Year's event on the weekend - I'll definitely make the shortbread to bring with me! Thanks Genevieve and Sue, 新年快乐！
Loved this video. The chemistry between the two are prime. Not forced. Not awkward. And loved the juxtaposition of second hand knowledge and a full understanding of the culture. As an adopted person, I'd be asking so many more questions, totally silly and fallably ignorant. Just charming. Thanks.
The recipes sound delicious. Now I want a Mandarin orange. I really loved hearing about their culture of Chinese New Year. That actually was the best part of this video.
Delish- that is all I can say. Made the sesame candies last night with my seven year old. I went to a local Asian market and could not find the black sesame seeds so I used brown (which I prefer for the nuttiness). Don’t forget to add the 1/4 cup of water. The online recipe omitted it. I added a teaspoon of vanilla when I took the sugar off the stove. I recommend cutting g right away because they get very hard as they cool.
Wow! All of my favourite flavours! We have exactly same style of sesame candy in Korea too! 😍I would definitely add this to my annual cookie boxes for family and friends!
Love these two together! They have such good chemistry and stories and I want to make both of these recipes yesterday so I can have a piece of candy and a cookie right now lol I hope they do more videos together but also on their own of course
We used to get a mandarin in our Christmas stocking growing up (80s/90s UK) and a box of mandarins in the kitchen is still one of the first signs of the Christmas season in my household. I wonder if there's a connection? Anyway the cookies and sesame candy treats look amazing!
I've found black sesame seeds to be so bitter (before + after toasting), almost inedibly so. Anyone else had this experience? Or is it just me? Or maybe it's the brand I've used? Hmm...
old seeds & nuts can go rancid because of the oil content - if you don't tend to use them up quickly, store them in the freezer and they'll last longer!
I've never had this happen with the white seeds which I often buy - only the black ones, so that's why I thought it had something to do with the black sesame. So, thanks for the responses, everyone!
Copy of Chinese culture. No read any original korean history text without learning Chinese. No historical structure that isn't Chinese style architecture. Maybe go take a photo in an empty field.
It's what Chinese call it, they created this. Korea copied it like they copied everything else. Didn't even have their own written script so every historical text original is written in Chinese.
Litmus test. Parasocial to holy grail audience. Food is like is more Democratic than thought of. So every time there's like east Asian out there as the food person it's like do you even show out to your people. Like there are more food courts in NYC and east Asian restaurants just wind up being like a trend adjective instead of the standard. Like yeah its annoying bourdain is the poster child for food but like does east Asians even come close and they had so many resources. And god forbid they ever talked about their grandparents on Medicaid not getting enough food or difficulty doing logistics. Brad Leone isn't like cramming everything for food he's like where is the food revolution. The pasta queen although I don't watch her tik tok she's like romancing you it so happens to be with food. Like eating endlessness ly isn't fun its just a gimmick to be on the internet like life is there to be done.

Sue's aggressive appreciation of Genevieve's knowledge is adorable
Taiwan has its own vibe and so does Hong Kong. Seeing them both together is like having cousins from two different sides of the family!
I love the constant reassurance that it is not too sweet.
the Gen and Sue show! here for it. more of them together (and separate) please!
I Love Sue Li!! She has this beautiful chaotic energy and I'm here for it
Hearing them share memories about lunar new year is so lovely! Sesame is one of my favorite flavors, can't wait to try these
Loved this!! Petition to keep this a running segment. Genevieve and Sue make an excellent duo!

What a fabulous pair! So fun to watch.

I love how the two ladies are dressed in the colours of the foods they are presenting, the black of the sesame and the orange of the mandarins.
THANK YOU NYT FOR HIGHLIGHTING MORE DIVERSITY IN YOUR CHANNEL!
Both of these look so delicious, and I love all the cultural information-what a wonderful duo. I often use black (and white) sesame in sourdough bread baking, but I need to use it more in pastry and confectionary now, too.
what a wonderful cultural experience in addition to the delicious recipes. thanks, ladies, for sharing so generously!
AH YES! I love both of these wonderful women and it's great to see them in a video together.
More Chinese New Year recipes please!
I loved it! For people who never had the opportunity to visit China or get to know better the culture and traditions is so lovely to hear it and get the opportunity to make those recipes at home! Also I love sesame seeds! Can’t wait to try it! 🥰

This was a delight to watch. I love sesame, and I can't wait to try both recipes.
watching gen and sue just hang out, bake together and talk about family memories -- more please!!
I love getting the red envelopes, but soon I have to start to give them 🥲
I love Genevieve and Sue! Please have them on more..I found this so interesting learning about their Asian culture.
The recipes sound delicious. Now I want a Mandarin orange.
I really loved hearing about their culture of Chinese New Year. That actually was the best part of this video.
the highest praise for any chinese "sweet" is... "it's not too sweet" 🤣🤣🤣 thank you for making these!!!! 💖

these are the best cookies I've ever made and tasted! Great recipe. Thank you.

LOVE anything sesame, especially in baked goods!
I have just been made aware of the black sesame and all its magic. I am really excited for new recipes! thank you!
beautiful. this was so pleasant to watch. Thank you Sue Li and Genevieve Ko!
Yes, these ladies have a lovely rapport. More please!
I want to cry! This is why representation matters.
Love these two together! They have such good chemistry and stories and I want to make both of these recipes yesterday so I can have a piece of candy and a cookie right now lol I hope they do more videos together but also on their own of course
Thanks for sharing your stories, in addition to the recipes!
YOU KNOW SO MUCH. I LOVE THAT 2:14
Absolutely beautiful. Thank you. I’m excited to attempt these wonderful recipes and to celebrate the traditions they reflect.
5:20 this interaction gives big big vibes of older cousin u dont see that often except lny/midautumn festival but love to bits
Sue Li is the epitome of chaotic neutral and I'm here for it
Loved this. Reminds me of childhood. Thanks for sharing.
I loved this!!!!
Beautiful!
This was really great and the treats looks delicious! 😃
Black sesame everythang ❤
We used to get a mandarin in our Christmas stocking growing up (80s/90s UK) and a box of mandarins in the kitchen is still one of the first signs of the Christmas season in my household. I wonder if there's a connection? Anyway the cookies and sesame candy treats look amazing!
I learned so much! ❤️❤️ thank you for sharingggg
So yummy!
Love how Genevieve is wearing black for the sesame seeds 🖤🖤 and Sue is wearing orange and green to mimic the mandarin orange 🧡💚
恭喜发财大吉大利❤新年快乐🎆
heartwarming!
This made me so happy !!
Oh, yummy!
If you like black sesame seeds, you have to try black sesame ice cream, it’s amazing.
My favorite LNY memory is the 2 weeks worth of dim sum with family & family friends for ALLLLLLLL the red envelopes.
FTA- for the Algo! Great video!
I need a food processor! What brand/model is that?
I first read this as, "Sesame Street Celebrates The Lunar New Year"
What’s the diff between black or white sesame seeds?
I would trust sue li with my life
Great
The firewall allows access to Genevieve's recipe, but not Sue's. I really love both, could this be fixed please?
I've found black sesame seeds to be so bitter (before + after toasting), almost inedibly so. Anyone else had this experience? Or is it just me? Or maybe it's the brand I've used? Hmm...
I've read that could be a result of old/stale sesame seeds. I've had a similar experience with white sesame seeds.
You definitely had old seeds. Sesame seeds are warm and nutty and roundly sweet, not bitter.
old seeds & nuts can go rancid because of the oil content - if you don't tend to use them up quickly, store them in the freezer and they'll last longer!
I've never had this happen with the white seeds which I often buy - only the black ones, so that's why I thought it had something to do with the black sesame. So, thanks for the responses, everyone!
The cookies look amazing and that sesame candy-are you sure you’re not supposed to eat the whole plate…
The word "kumquat" comes from the Cantonese word "gum gwat". I only learned that recently, though it's so obvious.
No chinese year,
Seolnal or Lunar new year
Copy of Chinese culture. No read any original korean history text without learning Chinese. No historical structure that isn't Chinese style architecture. Maybe go take a photo in an empty field.
not too sweet
It's Lunar New Year not Chinese New Year!!!
It's what Chinese call it, they created this. Korea copied it like they copied everything else. Didn't even have their own written script so every historical text original is written in Chinese.
Litmus test. Parasocial to holy grail audience.

Brad Leone isn't like cramming everything for food he's like where is the food revolution.
The pasta queen although I don't watch her tik tok she's like romancing you it so happens to be with food.
Like eating endlessness ly isn't fun its just a gimmick to be on the internet like life is there to be done.
Can we please stop calling it Lunar New Year, a ridiculous term that delegitimizes all the other lunar new years
