  • Genevieve Ko and Sue Li are hanging out in the studio kitchen together to celebrate Chinese New Year. And what better way to do that than by making black sesame treats? First up, Genevieve shows us her Black Sesame Shortbread recipe, which is a modern take on the more traditional Lunar New Year black sesame candy, which Sue has a recipe for.

    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.

    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.

    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! 🥰

    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.

    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.

    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!

    The word "kumquat" comes from the Cantonese word "gum gwat". I only learned that recently, though it's so obvious.

    The cookies look amazing and that sesame candy-are you sure you’re not supposed to eat the whole plate…

  • @twiningsfortea
    @twiningsfortea ปีที่แล้ว +4

    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...

    • @EricHunt
      @EricHunt ปีที่แล้ว +5

      I've read that could be a result of old/stale sesame seeds. I've had a similar experience with white sesame seeds.

    • @lunarmagpie619
      @lunarmagpie619 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      You definitely had old seeds. Sesame seeds are warm and nutty and roundly sweet, not bitter.

    • @friday13thirteen
      @friday13thirteen ปีที่แล้ว +3

      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!

    • @twiningsfortea
      @twiningsfortea ปีที่แล้ว +3

      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.

  • @christinechoi5591
    @christinechoi5591 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    It's Lunar New Year not Chinese New Year!!!

    • @lghdr6365
      @lghdr6365 ปีที่แล้ว

      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.

    Can we please stop calling it Lunar New Year, a ridiculous term that delegitimizes all the other lunar new years
