DIY Thai Khanom Luk Chup -- TINY fruit-shaped desserts made from MUNG BEAN PASTE

[@amyblaine7624]

Hi Emmy!! I was in Denver not too long ago and I went to a restaurant that I used to go to all the time when I was a kid. My parents would always get this certain martini that was garnished with this thing called a “Buzz Button” or “Szechuan Button”. They are pretty much these little edible dandelion-like flowers that when eaten, give your mouth this fantastic buzzing and cooling feeling, and it heightens your senses!! I think the drink was infused with the buzz button as well. Maybe you can make a buzz button drink or just try the buzz button alone for one of your episodes!! It’s such an interesting food experience I think you would really enjoy it.

[@BobbiDeeWebley]

Sounds so cool!

[@stingstadia1]

What’s the name of the restaurant? I’ll be in Denver for Christmas

[@salvadorconstantino5803]

I would love to see this!

[@StrangeMelinda]

is it similar to the toothache plant little buttons ??

[@PumpkinSpicedHorrorShow]

I hope she sees this because I would love to see her try them!

[@queeniec8635]

Maybe you should start a new series trying these trendy asian foods that people usually use for asmr. Ex: soy sauce marinated crab, cheese corn dogs, enoki mushrooms in that red sauce. Yes it’s fun watching people eat it but people don’t go into detail like you do.

[@PK-xc3qr]

Queenie C like...normal asian food? Lol most of those are pretty regular but I get what you mean by the cheese corn dog stuff.

[@bianca8583]

[@hinamo]

Omg Emmy I'm from India and the Mung Bean "paste" that you prepared is actually consumed by itself here. It is a delicacy which is usually prepared in the winter months since it is high in calories and warms your body up. I don't think the recipe is exactly the same but we call it "Mung dal halwa". So cool how Asian food is so diverse and yet there are all these ties connecting them together :")

[@Broomsticksmess]

My husband and I both grew up in German/American households so we absolutely love marzipan around the holidays. I might actually try making these!

[@milquebox]

i’m so glad you did this !!!! i’ve been very curious about the flavor of these and you have the best descriptive language!

[@coconat7725]

I'm so late but somehow I just saw the upload. This reminds me so much of childhood. It never was my favorite, I ate it for the novelty of small "candy" fruits rather than the taste, but my grandma used to make them often. My cousins and I would always help out. Good times.

[@murlthomas70]

[@littlepieceofshirt]

All comment came from emmy's mouth are complimentary. I never heard bad downgrading comment from her. She is a very nice person and fun to watch aswell. Love from malaysia ❤️

[@offthesidelines]

I completely forgot about these! My mom discovered them at some point during my childhood and for months she'd regularly buy them because I LOVED them. I can't quite remember if the person/people who made them were Thai or Vietnamese (my parents are Viet but I grew up/live in Canada so I do believe she got them at an Asian grocery store) but they were so pretty and yummy! Sadly I don't think I've seen them around in years though (as evidenced by the fact that I forgot about them lol). I think we might've tried making them once or twice and one of my aunt's might've done so too but it was kinda time consuming so we obviously stopped. I could be remembering wrong but I think even the stems/leaves were made out of mung beans.

[@indik8661]

Ahhhh!!!! These are my absolute favorite dessert! I'm Indonesian and miss so many treats and foods from home!!! Emmy you are incredible! You never cease to amaze me and hit me with a massive dose of nostalgia! Thank you so much! Xox

[@CatsPajamas23]

These are adorable. This is similar to marzipan or almond paste fruits made in the USA and UK during the holidays. They're usually made of blanched ground almonds, sugar, and glycerin or oil, water. The notable difference is that they're not typically glazed. (I wonder why? The glaze is a nice touch.)

[@seekinghimdaily92]

Thank you so much for this video! I literally was looking for Luk Chup from local Thai restaurants about a week or so ago and could not find it! I’ve never tried it, but was intrigued and interested after watching multiple ASMR videos where this dessert was consumed. Thank you Emmy!

[@melissathomas2590]

Ahhh mung beans, Creeds favorite desk snack

[@tweewin]

Mind Mindblown 🤯🤯🤯. I loved these as a child in Vietnam. The street man sells it daily, and my siblings and I were obsessed. I never knew they were Thai origin. 😱 Thanks for showing us how to make these. It's been over 20 years since I last ate them, and they don't have it here in my state. I shall make this one day. I'm so backwards. I think the hardest part is soaking and grinding the mung bean. The rest are easy steps. 🤣😂 I make a lot of French pastries, so the fun is in the actual labor. The waiting part are the longest and most difficult.

[@chickennuggets7092]

I FORGOT THIS EXISTED!! I used to visit Thailand every year and would buy these from the street vendors in the morning market. The mung bean paste is quite similar to the ones in Ang Ku Kueh (a pastry with glutinous rice flour skin encasing mung bean paste) but I don't recall it having a coconut taste. I'll definitely try to make some this holiday with the recipe you provided! Thanks, Emmy!

[@BobbiDeeWebley]

“Oh look that one squirted our like a zit!” And your little karaoke at the end!! Oh my you lighten my spirits! Thanks! ❤️ And I love almond paste, and coconut so I think I’m going to have to try making these! Sooo much fun!!!
