Ingredients

Techniques
- 150 g powdered sugar
- 200 g egg whites
- 150 g granulated sugar
- salt
- 1 tsp white vinegar
- 1 tsp vanilla
- pistachio paste
- black sesame paste
- strained raspberry jam
Beat the egg whites on low with the whisk attachment to break them up. Add a pinch of salt and raise to medium high; beat until foamy and opaque.
Turn off the mixer, add the powdered sugar, beat on low to incorporate, then on high to very stiff peaks.
Fold a few times with a large flexible spatula. Add a splash of vanilla and white distilled vinegar and beat in on high.
Fold strained, cooled raspberry jam into some of the meringue in a medium bowl until streak-free, then fold in more meringue until streaky.
Dollop onto a baking sheet and bake at 200F until the outside is dry and crispy; the first batch baked about 45 minutes. Cool completely on the sheet.
