So when I saw this savoury cookie, Fermented Beancurd 'Nam Yue' Sesame Cookies 南乳香脆可口芝麻饼, I thought I will be nice to add this to the variety.
Afterall, I just bought an extra jar of this fermented beancurd thinking I have none at home.
Talk about perfect timing! Thanks K for sharing this wonderful recipe.
Findings: This cookie yield a very light texture. Definitely a keeper.
