1/25/2017 0 Comments LNY: Year of the RoosterHappy Lunar New Year! More important than Thanksgiving in my family is definitely the Lunar New Year. This year, I went to hang out with my mom and her sisters to make little sweet peanut, sesame, coconut turnovers. The little pouches of sweetness look like little gold nuggets once fried up, like old school Chinese currency back in the Qin Dynasty (sycee or yuanbao), and the sweetness inside is to wish the receiver sweetness and good things in the year to come. Here's a photo of the completed turnovers, as well as a video of my aunt's mastery in making the beautiful folds.
