Chiffon Cake (8-inch black sesame flavor)

Chiffon cake (also called "crazy cake" 😂) is a must-practice basic skill for cake beginners! Lay a solid foundation, and you can easily make all kinds of cakes in the future~ The key to its softness is to beat the egg white into a fine foam, and rely on air to support the fluffy volume of the cake. Add enough corn oil and eggs, the taste is soft and moist, and the texture is fluffy. No wonder it is a classic with super high popularity! This time, I specially added black sesame powder, which is fragrant for ten miles, and the fragrance is directly confusing 😋~

Gochujang Pancetta Udon is a Korean-style spicy stir-fried udon where pancetta is rendered until glossy, then cooked with golden garlic and softened button mushrooms. The noodles are tossed through a bold gochujang-and-chilli sauce (with soy sauces, sesame oil, sugar, and black pepper) and simmered briefly to soak up the flavour, finished with sesame seeds for a nutty crunch.

Black sesame nut energy bread (crispy on the outside and soft on the inside)

This European bread is a great choice for a healthy diet. Based on whole grains and black sesame powder, it's rich in dietary fiber, promoting intestinal motility and aiding digestion. Paired with walnuts and raisins, the walnuts provide unsaturated fatty acids, protein, and various trace elements, while the raisins contain natural sugars and antioxidants, making it a nutritious and sugar-free option. Olive oil can be used instead of butter to reduce saturated fat intake. Unprocessed, it retains the original nutrients of the ingredients, providing a strong sense of satiety and helping to control calorie intake. Whether enjoyed as breakfast or a snack, it provides sustained energy while satisfying both taste buds and health needs, making it an ideal choice for those seeking a balanced, low-fat diet.

Linglong Shuangshengjian (dumpling skin version)

Thumb-fried dumplings are made of thin and transparent dumpling skin with delicate folds, shaped like a fistful of ingots, fried until the bottom is crispy with amber crust, sprinkled with white sesame seeds and tender green onions, just like stars. The moment you bite it, the hot and fragrant gravy bursts on the tip of your tongue, and the meaty aroma is intoxicating. Snowflake dumplings are also eye-catching, with starch water outlining the ice flower background, snow-white and crystal like blooming frost flowers, crispy skin, full filling, and crisp sound and meaty aroma intertwined when you bite it.
