During #ChineseNewYear in #Guangdong, one #snack stands out on almost every table: Yau Gok, also known as Cantonese sweet fried dumplings. These crispy treats, filled with peanuts, coconut, sesame seeds, and sugar, are a beloved part of the New Year celebration. The art of folding Yau Gok’s edges into a “wealth purse” symbolizes prosperity for the year ahead! 🏮

I invited my friend Lilia and her family to my local friend's home to experience the joy of making Yau Gok. As we gathered around the kitchen, Lilia mentioned how the process reminded her of making similar treats with her grandma back in #Mexico. 🍳
