Luk chup (also commonly called Thai marzipan or look choop) is a Thai dessert that is made from a mung bean paste and molded into little fruits and vegetables. Its technique is derived from Portuguese marzipan (learned from early Portuguese intervention back in the 1600s) but because almonds weren’t historically grown in Thailand, the base of recipe was replaced with mung beans.
Come join Ali Domrongchai, food writer and Thai food historian, on October 4th to learn the art of molding and making luk chup (and to take some home for yourself). There will also be additional desserts there to snack on throughout the workshop.
(Luk chup is both vegan and gluten-free.)
