Rome , during a dinner at a restaurant, "Sino-Japanese" with some colleagues, we found the indimenticabiil fortune cookies.
When we were little our parents sometimes took us to eat at a Chinese restaurant and the choice of food was always the same: the Cantonese rice, fried chicken and fried ice cream (the one with hot and crispy outer crust and the filling of chocolate ice cream ... it seemed like a magic!) . the end of dinner brought the legendary fortune cookies ... in those where was kept the "precious" written on paper with a phrase "almost vinatoria. We got up happy not only for man refugees dishes that had not been accustomed, but also for the surprise contained in fortune cookies and their taste.
Their origin is Chinese, as their spread in Chinese restaurants made us believe, but the Japanese is in fact the original name "tsujiura senbei. But what led people to believe that they were of Chinese origin? The story goes that before dur the early years of Novec nt, some Japanese immigrants arrived California: San Francisco Chinese restaurants they borrow and this has created the false history that still makes you believe that the fortune cookies in the tradition c Inese ...
In web we found some pictures Japanese very beautiful, there is one in particular that you link that shows a bar with lots of round plates of iron which were cooked biscuits.
There's more ... because the origins of fortune cookies are nell'aleuromanzia (from greek: wheat flour) : the divination of the headlights na. It was practiced in the Middle Ages by hiding in the bags of flour ticket on which Rano and writings of respiratory nsi; fi Gurat that an individual was found guilty or innocent by the way he ate a cake of flour or corn!

4 teaspoons water Mineral
First of prepared strips of paper where you write what you like ... a wish or a phrase of any author who impresses you very o. ..
fold it so that you will put it in your fortune cookie that has a diameter of about 6-8 cm .
Put in a glass bowl the egg whites with vanilla extract and vegetable oil (we used sunflower oil) ; blend with the mixture of frus you power until become frothy. Add flour, cornstarch, sugar, salt and mineral water and blend the mixture again with electric whips. The compound will slip from the spoon.
Preheat oven at full power (our heated to 200 °).
Grease the pan lightly, take a teaspoon of dough and form circles with a diameter of about 6-8cm (evenly spread out the mixture).
The advice we give is to do no more than two biscuits at a time otherwise not be able to achieve the typical shape of the fortune cookie because in the meantime, the mixture is too dry and will tend to break.
Infor born to c bout 5 min used or until to when the edges start to get dark, take the dough circle with a palette in, turn it, you put in the note that you have previously prepared, fold the dough circle in half and, with the aid of a cup from the thick edges, fold the cookie that will take on a rounded shape because it will swell, then cool in a mold muffin. When you have filled with cookies throughout the muffin mold, turn off the oven and lasciteli rest until the oven cools, it will reach the right "crunchiness" of the cookie!
NB The forming of the cookie is a very delicate step, but especially "searing" ... if you plan to tolerate such high temperatures do not help yourself with a cotton cloth, avoiding direct contact with the biscuit, attenuate heat.
With these fortune cookies are participating in a SWAP of Christmas cookies to Marta ideeingocce ... who knows what some of you should wish to participate!
... and GOOD LUCK!
