Celebrate Chinese Valentine’s Day with Qiaosu – Liziqi 李子柒
Chinese Valentine’s day is called “Qiqiao Festival”. People would have Qiaoguo in ancient time and listen the fairy tale of Niulang and Zhinv.
In the evening, ladies would prey to Zhinv for ingenuity, which is called “Qiqiao”. Last year I made Qiaoshi, so this year I would teach you guys how to make Qiaosu, which is also the traditional food for Chinese Valentine’s day. The outside part of the cake melts in your mouth easily, the inner part with purple potato is sweet and chewy. It’s not just a beautiful looking cake.
七夕节又称“乞巧节”,古人通常在这一天里吃巧果,偷听牛郎织女天河夜话。姑娘们则会在夜里向织女许愿乞求心灵手巧,故称“乞巧”。去年做了巧食,今年就教大家做同样是七夕传统美食的《巧酥》。外皮酥层入口即化,紫薯内馅香甜有嚼劲,不止是好看那么简单
