Why are so many people complaning about why is she a chinese and that she has her username with made in japan in it. She grewup in america, spoke japanese and lived in japan for quite an amount of time and she never said that she lived in china or was born in china. Not all chinese are born or raised in china -_-" and when she say "Emmy eats china" it means that she is eating sweets and snacks ALL THE WAY FROM CHINA. Understood? Ok

Should you listen carefully, Emmy admits to being born and raised in the USA of parents from Burma but who are Chinese. She does not speak Chinese. She and her husband went to Japan and lived there for two years if my memory serves me correctly. During that time she had a son and that encouraged her and her husband to move back to the country of her birth. Listen and you will hear her admit she only started to speak Japanese when in Japan. The concept she adopted "emmymadeinjapan" originated while she was in Japan and her first videos were made there. 'nuf sed.

I'm glad you made this video. My little sister is Chinese American herself. My family adopted her, and while this country is her home now, we encourage her to experience parts of her roots and to maintain some connection to her heritage. I think she'd really love to try some of these treats, I'll have to try looking them up.

The mystery cookies are called Kai Chai Paeng in Cantonese. This means little chicken biscuits. They are usually made with pork oil or small pork fat globs ( hence Emmy saying they had a taste of cha siu bao to them ). I have been told that the modern Kai Chai Paeng lack the tastiness of the one of people's Hong Kong youthful experiences and some bakers even substitute the pork fat out. All versions of these cookies I have had are "duck beat may hoh" (exceptionally delicious) as the say in Cantonese and hard to resist only eating one or two.

hi emmy, the cookie you mentioned earlier it is called ''kai zai pieng" in chinese dialect known as cantonese, while in english it shall be called as chicken cookie perhaps? okay, the cookie is made from mixing dough of pork lard and also some kind of bean curd paste "南乳" or "nam yu", there the savoury flavour comes from. hopefully i may help a little bit here... p/s: if i am not wrong the fans is an ex-hongkie who migrated to canada, because what i heard from your pronounciation isnt chinese while is another dialect of chinese which is cantonese as i mentioned earlier... fans from Malaysia with love, chiawen

People don't realize it, proper English is a dying here, but the word In English is actually catsup! Ketchup is a coined term from when it began being commercialized. It's exact origin is unknown to me, but that's something most Americans don't even know & it's a pity! Anyways, the word catsup is very close to it's Cantonese origin! Which explains a lot, where as ketchup makes no sense haha

I work with a Chinese family and they are like my second family so I really loved this video! Because of their broken english, I almost never know what ingredients are in the random snacks and foods they share with me. I have always wondered what the center of the moon cake was! Also that dried fruit reminded me of the time I was given a dried, salted olive without warning. I'll never forget the surprise that washed over me as I thought I was eating a sweet fruit and it turned out to be an olive....

In any case, I wonder if emmy would do Alaskan snacks? I know that it's apart of the USA, but we have quite a bit of odd snacks when concerned with the sweet side. Such as Aqutaq, or what a lot of people out of state would call "baked Alaska". Though the Aqutaq tastes a bit different.

I love Chinese pastries. When I lived on the west coast, both San Francisco and Seattle, (not at the same time) I found Chinese bakeries and splurged on these things when I could. I also love Mexican pastries. I like that they're not overly sweet. I enjoy the unfamiliar flavors, too, some more than others. Now and then I'd find something I recognized, like orange, pineapple, or coconut. I developed a taste for lotus bean paste and whatever some of the other pastes are, I still don't know. I love tahini so much I learned to make my own.

The 'butterfly' cookie you ate in this video is called (in french) a 'palmier'. While in culinary school I made them. Its puff pastry that is shaped and cut in a specific manner. When placed in the oven the pastry puffs up and it looks like a butterfly or elephant ear. The same pastry for palmiers is also used for the french desert millefeuille..

Butterfly (wu deep) cookies = (French) Palmiers. 'Fried bits cookie' is 'ma tsai' made from flour, egg, oil, sugar, deep fried & combined with syrup to hold it together. Chan pei is good for when you have lots of phlegm or a cough. Supposed to be soothing for the throat. Mystery cookie is a 'kai tsai ('little chick') beng. The chewy bits are pork fat & that taste is fermented bean curd, the red type. Next one is indeed almond cookie, traditional recipes use pork fat to make it more fragrant.

Hi, Emmy! These are the things that you are unfamiliar with: -"mystery dried fruit"=Chinese preserved/dried olive -"fried bits cookie"=sachima;basically chinese rice crispy but made with puffed rice pieces. -"mystery cookie"= 雞仔餅, direct translation would be 'chick cookie'. its a very traditional cookie where it is originated from servants who worked in the palace and used the leftover ingredients in the kitchen to make a sweet-salty cookie. most cookies contain wintermelon and chinese sausage

10:35 That's 鸡仔饼, direct translated as "Chick Cookie". It's a very traditional cookie made with the usual sugar, flour, peanuts, walnut, egg yolk and the most importantly, fats. Traditionally, it's made with fats, I'm guessing nowadays some use oil instead which is a healthier choice. But of coz, those taste nothing like the traditionally made ones. It's more of a savory cookies. My fav when I was a kid.

You are right about the layering process. It's called laminating. A slab of dough is topped with either a whole block of butter that's been pounded flat (but still quite thick), or butter that's been mixed (with a little bit of flour to absorb excess water), and spread on the dough. The dough is folded to envelop the butter, then chilled, folded, chilled, folded, usually about three to six times depending on the folding method. It is important to keep the dough and the butter the same consistency so that the butter doesn't crack inside the dough and disrupt the layers. The butter shouldn't melt. After the final fold, the dough is rolled out thin, then shaped for whatever is being made (croissants are a famous example). They go into a hot oven, and as the butter melts it releases stem, which is what lifts the dough layers to create the flaky layers. If the oven is too low, the butter melts out onto the pan, and the pastry will be bread-like. They can also be baked from frozen. Sorry that was so in depth, I went through pastry school =).

Mm I love those pineapple shortbreads i have a few in my pantry right now actually! I actually tried the savoury biscuits too when I went back to china to visit relatives, and I personally didn't like them that much, I found them a bit lardy. I was surprised how many things in china I couldn't tell beteeen sweet and savoury pastries! Most were good, I had this super sweet pork pastry, which has like mincemeat in it almost, it was really nice.

10:36 is 鸡仔饼 (Gai Zai Beng) aka chicken biscuit, although it contains no chicken whatsoever, and it's a very popular Cantonese/Chinese snack! (:

The chinese bakery that I usually frequent, sells those little pig pastries as well, but the inside has a lotus root filling, or red bean paste sometimes. They're so yummy!

Your butterfly cookies look to be very similar to the French palmier cookies, and you were right, they're made very much like croissants or puff-pastry: layers of dough between layers of butter/shortening, with sugar and spices interspersed. You can find them sometimes at Costco.

You help up that yellow preserved fruit and I instantly knew what it was! No idea what it's called but I've had it before and the whole time I was screaming "just put the whole thing in your mouth and spit out the pit!"

The butterfly cookies are also known as elephant ears (I live in Florida, but I'm not sure what other regions call them that!)! Here they are bigger too; around 5 inches wide!

The little savory cookie is called a Chicken Biscuit or Little Chick Biscuit. They're suppose to be sweet and savory at the same time. I think they're typically made with chicken or pork fat. It's more of an old fashion snack cake type item if I'm not mistaken.

My favorite Chinese dessert is nian gao. I like the mooncakes with the dry shredded pork and nuts in them better than the lotus/duck egg yolk kind, but I never see them in the states and I have only had them once when someone brought them back from Harbin.

The cookie at 11:02, it's called "雞仔餅", literally translated as "little chicken biscuit". It doesn't contain any chicken though. I think it's named that because it looks like a little chick in shape. It's made of flour, lard, sugar, salt, spices and nut.

How awesome is it, that people go on a holiday and bring back candy/cookies just for you? Must make you feel like a celeb! Oh...the butterfly cookies...we had them here in abundance in a cheesy/salty variation and you could buy them everywhere, but nowadays I can only seem to get them fresh at smaller bakeries. Anyway : as always thank you for this great video!

It is so funny that they are called butterflys in China. In Germany you get them like this or like a bigger pastry with chocolate on top, and they are called "Piggy Ears" (Schweineöhrchen).
