Hi everybody!
-
Do you like chestnuts?
-
These are chestnuts, have you ever cooked them at home?
-
I love chestnuts! Chestnuts are my favorite snack.
-
I just simply boil and eat.
-
Today, I'm going show how I cook and how I usually eat them.
-
And with cooked chestnuts, I'm going to make delicious Korean traditional cookies.
-
So cute! It's called:
-
'Yul-lan'.
-
So, two recipes in one video, let's start!
-
Scrub this like this.
-
Couple of times, rinse this and pour out the water.
-
Pour some water until your chestnuts are submerged like this.
-
Cover, let's boil this over medium high heat.
-
So, fifteen minutes over medium high heat, I cooked this.
-
Lower the heat, low heat.
-
Ten more minutes, we have to cook.
-
And then, strain.
-
Rinse in cold water.
-
So, this is one pound (453.592 g) I'm going to divide into two portions.
-
One is for the cookies I'll make soon,
-
the other half is going to be how I usually eat for snack.
-
Okay, this is half pound (226.796 grams)
-
This is half pound half pound.
-
Like this.
-
Just scoop this with spoon.
-
Mmm.
-
I love it.
-
Second recipe, it's the Korean cookie called 'yul-lan', very beautiful.
-
To make this, we need special tool. (chuckles)
-
This is mortar and pestle.
-
And then I'm going to pound this, mash this.
-
Let's first all cut it in half like this.
-
Scoop out all insides.
-
Today I'm very lucky, all my chestnuts are very healthy, nice,
-
but when you see the brownish, a little rotten stuff then always take that part out.
-
Okay.
-
And then, pound this.
-
This mortar is made of stone, it came from Korea, I love this.
-
I'll make so many recipes with this.
-
Using this, your wooden spoon or rice scoop.
-
Through this hole from the coarse wire strainer, push like this.
-
And then you see, the powder-looking stuff coming through this.
-
This is not easy job, but you know,
-
when you work a little bit, make an effort, and then you'll get a really nice result.
-
So you'll be so happy when you see the really beautiful cookies soon.
-
The leftover is only skin part.
-
Great, and,
-
just we gotta use all.
-
Okay.
-
Two tablespoons (29.5735 ml) honey.
-
Half teaspoon (2.46446 ml) cinnamon
-
and pinch of salt.
-
And mix.
-
Really like syrup-looking.
-
Done.
-
Pour this here.
-
Look at this. And mix.
-
So we make it look like a dough, but it's already cooked and delicious, this cookie,
-
so you don't have to bake or anything.
-
Well mixed.
-
Gloves,
-
and make a soft lump.
-
We have to make the really nice shape.
-
Just a little bit.
-
Take some little bit
-
like a small chestnut size.
-
Shape this, it look like chestnut.
-
It's too much trouble for you?
-
Then, put some plastic wrap and make it tightly.
-
We made a dozen yul-lan!
-
And not finished yet, we are going to decorate this, it'll look really pretty.
-
These are pine nuts, I'm going to chop this into really small pieces.
-
We need honey.
-
Usually, just pine nuts and honey we use this, traditional way.
-
But I found out this green tea powder, really pretty color.
-
And this is black sesame seeds.
-
Just a little bit.
-
First, honey.
-
And, black sesame seeds.
-
Today we made just boiled, steamed chestnuts,
-
and Korean traditional cookies, 'yul-lan'.
-
Usually serve this with tea, really hot green tea.
-
I don't really feel like really hot tea today, I'm having some mineral water.
-
Yul-lan!
-
Mmmm!
-
Delicious! Sweet, soft, some cinnamon flavor, pine nuts texture, really awesome!
-
And green tea, I'll taste the green tea.
-
Mm!
-
Green tea plus this roasted black sesame seeds, really delicious!
-
We don't bake! Just make by hand.
-
Enjoy my recipe!
-
See you next time!
-
Byee~!
