Whether you follow traditions from the Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese, Japanese—or another East or Southeast Asian—perspective, when it comes to Lunar New Year celebrations, you simply can’t skip dessert.
“The biggest holiday of the year, Chinese New Year, is the time when families reunite, cook a large feast, and admire a new year’s moon,” writes Kristina Cho in her cookbook Mooncakes & Milk Bread. “We enjoy my pau pau’s steamed cakes, their tops bursting to signify the luck and prosperity you hope for in the year ahead.” To hear a bit more about Cho’s work, stay tuned for an upcoming episode of Genius Recipes Tapes podcast (even better, make a batch of the steamed cakes while you listen).
