Sweet chestnut treats!

Try your hands at making some sweet chestnut treats!

l love my sweets, or rather I used to love my sweets and to sink my hands into making them. But for the last five or more years, I have avoided all sweets, ready to eat or making from scratch!

Recently, to give Park Sihoo-ssi, Buyeo’s Ambassador of chestnuts a boost in promoting this produce from his hometown, we made group buys of these delectable sweet treats. So many orders we made! Now that these all natural, no sugar added sweet treats have arrived, what do we do?

Convenient, ready to eat packs

Eat them of course! Since they are cooked and ready to eat, just pop them into your mouth and savor its sweet pure flavour with every bite. If you have bought more than you can chew, like me, give them away as gifts or better still, whip up some tempting treats using them as ingredients! These cooked Buyeo chestnuts will save you a whole load of effort in having to wash, cook and peel!

Here are some ideas to get you going!

Like my cucumber, tuna and chestnut salad?

Add them to your salad like I did to my cucumber and tuna mix. Make the traditional Chinese rice dumplings with them or use them as one of the ingredients for your fried rice! Or add them to your refreshing ice shavings, iced drinks and desserts like the local chendol and bobo chacha for a more solid bite! Good ideas?

If you are more adventurous and love to bake, how about whipping up a chestnut chiffon cake filled with chestnut bits and layered with delectable chestnut cream? A perennial yummy favorite in Hong Kong and other parts of Asia! Try out the recipe in the video below.

Wow our Buyeo Chestnut Ambassador that you can cook!

Or make chestnut butter like you do peanut butter and spread this goodness on your bread and biscuits! Good option when you want a break from the same old, same old!

Am I getting you into the momentum of thinking new recipe ideas using sweet chestnuts? Buyeo’s sweet chestnuts being the choice as recommended by our favorite man, Ambassador of Buyeo chestnuts! 

Let the chef in you take flight! Maybe the next time, you could be offering our Buyeo Ambassador a taste of your sweet chestnut treats! Go experiment!

栗子的引诱

我喜欢我的甜品，或者说我曾经爱过甜品，也喜欢亲自制作甜点。但在过去五年多里，已经戒掉吃甜点，也没有下厨做蛋糕等甜的食物了！

最近，为了支持我们的扶余栗子宣传大使施厚君所推广的扶余的栗子，我们团购了好多现食的栗子。这些全天然，没有添加糖的甜点已经寄到了，我们该怎么办呢？

Philip, how about experimenting with chestnuts?

当然要吃啦！因为是煮熟的，可以随时食用，只需放入口中，咬着的每一口都能享受其甜美的天然风味。如果购买了超多，就像我一样，可以送人，或掀起一些诱人的美食甜点！这些煮熟的扶余栗子可以节省大量的时间去洗，煮熟和剥皮！

以下给大家提供一些用栗子自制的几道菜做参考，试一试吧！

添加栗子在沙拉中，就像我，加入黄瓜和金枪鱼中，添加了美味。用来制作传统的粽子，或者将它们作为炒饭的原料之一！加在清爽的冰淇淋，冰镇饮料和冷甜点中，如冰沙，chendol和查查bobo chacha，给甜点增加坚固的口感！好主意吧？

Mmmm….not bad!

如果妳更喜欢尝试和做蛋糕，可以试做栗子蛋糕，海绵蛋糕搭配可口的栗子奶油酱。这类蛋糕在香港和亚洲有些地区是常年受欢迎的甜点！观看上面的视频食谱，学学如何制作，非常有乐趣噢。

或者像做花生酱一样绞成栗子酱，并将美味酱涂抹在面包和饼干上，有特别的新鲜感哦！

我是否引发了大家去研究和制作甜栗子的新食谱？ 扶余的甜栗子是我们扶余栗子宣传大使的推荐！

请让妳的厨艺飞翔！也许下一次，扶余宣传大使可以品尝妳制作的栗子甜点喔！加油！
