They can be served sliced with pickled ginger and soy sauce, added to congee, or incorporated into dumplings and salads, lending their unique taste and texture to create memorable culinary experiences.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:35px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Texture_%E2%80%93_%E5%8F%A3%E6%84%9F_kougan\"><\/span><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#5d9981\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Texture &#8211; \u53e3\u611f k\u01d2ug\u01cen<\/mark><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Buttery <ruby class=\"lang-zh-TW\"><span class=\"rb\">\u5976\u6cb9<\/span><rt>n\u01ceiy\u00f3u<\/rt><span class=\"rb\">\u53e3\u611f<\/span><rt>k\u01d2ug\u01cen<\/rt><\/ruby><ruby class=\"lang-zh-CN\"><span class=\"rb\">\u5976\u6cb9<\/span><rt>n\u01ceiy\u00f3u<\/rt><span class=\"rb\">\u53e3\u611f<\/span><rt>k\u01d2ug\u01cen<\/rt><\/ruby><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Silky <ruby class=\"lang-zh-TW\"><span class=\"rb\">\u7d72\u6ed1<\/span><rt>s\u012bhu\u00e1<\/rt><\/ruby><ruby class=\"lang-zh-CN\"><span class=\"rb\">\u4e1d\u6ed1<\/span><rt>s\u012bhu\u00e1<\/rt><\/ruby><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Creamy <ruby class=\"lang-zh-TW\"><span class=\"rb\">\u6ed1\u9806<\/span><rt>hu\u00e1sh\u00f9n<\/rt><\/ruby><ruby class=\"lang-zh-CN\"><span class=\"rb\">\u6ed1\u987a<\/span><rt>hu\u00e1sh\u00f9n<\/rt><\/ruby><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Crispy, Flaky <ruby class=\"lang-zh-TW\"><span class=\"rb\">\u9165<\/span><rt>s\u016b<\/rt><\/ruby><ruby class=\"lang-zh-CN\"><span class=\"rb\">\u9165<\/span><rt>s\u016b<\/rt><\/ruby><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Crunchy <ruby class=\"lang-zh-TW\"><span class=\"rb\">\u8106<\/span><rt>cu\u00ec<\/rt><\/ruby><ruby class=\"lang-zh-CN\"><span class=\"rb\">\u8106<\/span><rt>cu\u00ec<\/rt><\/ruby><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:13px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:20%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"545\" height=\"542\" src=\"https:\/\/tiffanysmandarin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/v2-7aff9f8224a58c941a523cdc958fbc25_1440w.webp.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9753\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tiffanysmandarin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/v2-7aff9f8224a58c941a523cdc958fbc25_1440w.webp.png 545w, https:\/\/tiffanysmandarin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/v2-7aff9f8224a58c941a523cdc958fbc25_1440w.webp-100x100.png 100w, https:\/\/tiffanysmandarin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/v2-7aff9f8224a58c941a523cdc958fbc25_1440w.webp-300x298.png 300w, https:\/\/tiffanysmandarin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/v2-7aff9f8224a58c941a523cdc958fbc25_1440w.webp-150x150.png 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 545px) 100vw, 545px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-style-rounded\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/tiffanysmandarin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/p0761192324534-item-c263xf4x0800x0800-m.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9754\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tiffanysmandarin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/p0761192324534-item-c263xf4x0800x0800-m.jpg 600w, https:\/\/tiffanysmandarin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/p0761192324534-item-c263xf4x0800x0800-m-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/tiffanysmandarin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/p0761192324534-item-c263xf4x0800x0800-m-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/tiffanysmandarin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/p0761192324534-item-c263xf4x0800x0800-m-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:80%\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Walnut_Pastry_%E2%80%93_%E6%A1%83%E9%85%A5_taosu\"><\/span>Walnut Pastry &#8211; \u6843\u9165 t\u00e1os\u016b<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Walnut Pastry is a traditional Chinese dessert renowned for its rich walnut flavor and flaky, buttery texture. Inside, you&#8217;ll discover a sweet walnut filling that perfectly balances the pastry&#8217;s crispy layers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The process of making Walnut Pastry involves blending ground walnuts with sugar and other ingredients to create a fragrant and sweet walnut paste. This paste is then wrapped in layers of thin, flaky pastry dough, resulting in a delightful contrast between the crispiness of the layers and the creamy walnut filling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the standout features of Walnut Pastry is its emphasis on the natural flavor of walnuts. It&#8217;s not overwhelmingly sweet, allowing the distinct taste of the nuts to shine through, making it a favorite among those who appreciate nutty treats.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Soft <ruby class=\"lang-zh-TW\"><span class=\"rb\">\u8edf<\/span><rt>ru\u01cen<\/rt><\/ruby><ruby class=\"lang-zh-CN\"><span class=\"rb\">\u8f6f<\/span><rt>ru\u01cen<\/rt><\/ruby><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Hard <ruby class=\"lang-zh-TW\"><span class=\"rb\">\u786c<\/span><rt>y\u00ecng<\/rt><\/ruby><ruby class=\"lang-zh-CN\"><span class=\"rb\">\u786c<\/span><rt>y\u00ecng<\/rt><\/ruby><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Chewy <ruby class=\"lang-zh-TW\"><span class=\"rb\">\u6709<\/span><rt>y\u01d2u<\/rt><span class=\"rb\">\u56bc\u52c1<\/span><rt>ji\u00e1oj\u00ecn<\/rt><\/ruby><ruby class=\"lang-zh-CN\"><span class=\"rb\">\u6709<\/span><rt>y\u01d2u<\/rt><span class=\"rb\">\u56bc\u52b2<\/span><rt>ji\u00e1oj\u00ecng<\/rt><\/ruby><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Jiggly, rubbery <ruby class=\"lang-zh-TW\"><span class=\"rb\">QQ<\/span><rt> <\/rt><\/ruby><ruby class=\"lang-zh-CN\"><span class=\"rb\">Q\u5f39<\/span><rt>Qt\u00e1n<\/rt><\/ruby><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Soft and chewy <ruby class=\"lang-zh-TW\"><span class=\"rb\">\u8edf\u7cef<\/span><rt>ru\u01cennu\u00f2<\/rt><\/ruby><ruby class=\"lang-zh-CN\"><span class=\"rb\">\u8f6f\u7cef<\/span><rt>ru\u01cennu\u00f2<\/rt><\/ruby><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Soggy <ruby class=\"lang-zh-TW\"><span class=\"rb\">\u8edf\u721b<\/span><rt>ru\u01cenl\u00e0n<\/rt><\/ruby><ruby class=\"lang-zh-CN\"><span class=\"rb\">\u8f6f\u70c2<\/span><rt>ru\u01cenl\u00e0n<\/rt><\/ruby><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Citrusy <ruby class=\"lang-zh-TW\"><span class=\"rb\">\u67d1\u6a58\u5473<\/span><rt>g\u0101nj\u00faw\u00e8i<\/rt><\/ruby><ruby class=\"lang-zh-CN\"><span class=\"rb\">\u67d1\u6a58\u5473<\/span><rt>g\u0101nj\u00faw\u00e8i<\/rt><\/ruby><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Nutty <ruby class=\"lang-zh-TW\"><span class=\"rb\">\u5805\u679c\u5473<\/span><rt>ji\u0101ngu\u01d2w\u00e8i<\/rt><\/ruby><ruby class=\"lang-zh-CN\"><span class=\"rb\">\u575a\u679c\u5473<\/span><rt>ji\u0101ngu\u01d2w\u00e8i<\/rt><\/ruby><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:13px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:20%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/tiffanysmandarin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/65a68ebc0aa5cb72-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9755\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tiffanysmandarin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/65a68ebc0aa5cb72-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/tiffanysmandarin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/65a68ebc0aa5cb72-scaled-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/tiffanysmandarin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/65a68ebc0aa5cb72-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/tiffanysmandarin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/65a68ebc0aa5cb72-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/tiffanysmandarin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/65a68ebc0aa5cb72-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/tiffanysmandarin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/65a68ebc0aa5cb72-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/tiffanysmandarin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/65a68ebc0aa5cb72-850x638.jpg 850w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-style-default\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/tiffanysmandarin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/unnamed.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9757\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tiffanysmandarin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/unnamed.jpg 600w, https:\/\/tiffanysmandarin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/unnamed-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:80%\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Snowflake_Cake_%E2%80%93_%E9%9B%AA%E8%8A%B1%E7%B3%95_xuehuagao\"><\/span>Snowflake Cake &#8211; \u96ea\u82b1\u7cd5 xu\u011bhu\u0101g\u0101o<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Snowflake Cake gets its name from its unique appearance, resembling delicate snowflakes.

The finished dessert is sweet, slightly chewy from the glutinous rice or wheat flour dough, and has a satisfying crunch from the coating.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"jetpack-video-wrapper\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"\u9999\u751c\u8f6f\u7cef\u3010\u9a74\u6253\u6eda\u3011\u8001\u5317\u4eac\u4f20\u7edf\u5c0f\u5403\u7cfb\u5217\u4e4b\u4e09 | \u94fa\u9985\u624b\u6cd5\u5f88\u5173\u952e | \u5c1a\u98df\u53a8\u623f\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/t0x8_IofgwE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Mellow <ruby class=\"lang-zh-TW\"><span class=\"rb\">\u9999\u9187<\/span><rt>xi\u0101ngch\u00fan<\/rt><\/ruby><ruby class=\"lang-zh-CN\"><span class=\"rb\">\u9999\u9187<\/span><rt>xi\u0101ngch\u00fan<\/rt><\/ruby><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Astringent <ruby class=\"lang-zh-TW\"><span class=\"rb\">\u6f80<\/span><rt>s\u00e8<\/rt><\/ruby><ruby class=\"lang-zh-CN\"><span class=\"rb\">\u6da9<\/span><rt>s\u00e8<\/rt><\/ruby><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Gooey <ruby class=\"lang-zh-TW\"><span class=\"rb\">\u9ecf\u7a20<\/span><rt>ni\u00e1nch\u00f3u<\/rt><\/ruby><ruby class=\"lang-zh-CN\"><span class=\"rb\">\u9ecf\u7a20<\/span><rt>ni\u00e1nch\u00f3u<\/rt><\/ruby><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Slimy <ruby class=\"lang-zh-TW\"><span class=\"rb\">\u9ecf\u6ed1<\/span><rt>ni\u00e1nhu\u00e1<\/rt><\/ruby><ruby class=\"lang-zh-CN\"><span class=\"rb\">\u9ecf\u6ed1<\/span><rt>ni\u00e1nhu\u00e1<\/rt><\/ruby><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Sticky <ruby class=\"lang-zh-TW\"><span class=\"rb\">\u9ecf\u7259<\/span><rt>ni\u00e1ny\u00e1<\/rt><\/ruby><ruby class=\"lang-zh-CN\"><span class=\"rb\">\u9ecf\u7259<\/span><rt>ni\u00e1ny\u00e1<\/rt><\/ruby><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:36px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:45px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-medium is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ko-fi.com\/tiffanystalk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/tiffanysmandarin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/fcacd-buymeacoffee_red402x-300x58.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-570\" style=\"width:150px;height:29px\" width=\"150\" height=\"29\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tiffanysmandarin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/fcacd-buymeacoffee_red402x-300x58.png 300w, https:\/\/tiffanysmandarin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/fcacd-buymeacoffee_red402x-600x115.png 600w, https:\/\/tiffanysmandarin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/fcacd-buymeacoffee_red402x-1024x197.png 1024w, https:\/\/tiffanysmandarin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/fcacd-buymeacoffee_red402x-768x148.png 768w, https:\/\/tiffanysmandarin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/fcacd-buymeacoffee_red402x-1536x296.png 1536w, https:\/\/tiffanysmandarin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/fcacd-buymeacoffee_red402x-2048x394.png 2048w, https:\/\/tiffanysmandarin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/fcacd-buymeacoffee_red402x-850x164.png 850w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Do you like it? \ud83d\ude42<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-medium is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/tiffanysmandarin.com\/index.php\/topic-center-2\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/tiffanysmandarin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/e68f92e59c963-300x86.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-571\" style=\"width:150px;height:43px\" width=\"150\" height=\"43\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tiffanysmandarin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/e68f92e59c963-300x86.png 300w, https:\/\/tiffanysmandarin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/e68f92e59c963-600x171.png 600w, https:\/\/tiffanysmandarin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/e68f92e59c963.png 700w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s just that diving into flavors and textures can be a bit dull, so let me also throw in some traditional Chinese snacks while we&#8217;re at it.
