Every family’s Thanksgiving table looks different, but the family traditions that shape specific menus and dishes make each holiday meal unique.

Three YouTube short film stars and gourmet content creators-Joanne Molinaro of The Korean Vegan, Matt Broussard aka A Cook Named Matt and Lisa Nguyen-share their roots through modern recipes through "Good Morning America" ​​and present some fresh Thanksgiving Flavor.

Both Molinaro and Broussard have created a vegetarian recipe—sweet and savoury, respectively—that takes full advantage of the flavors of their family culture and even makes a die-hard dairy lover jump back and ask for a second help.

"Matt showed me how to make his tamales from snacks and the way he likes to eat them beautifully. When we do our own creative projects, I think this is one of them-that's how these stories can connect us ," Molinaro said. "It is very important to have a platform that is kind, conscious, and understands the creator's economy, and may know how to treat its creators, value and respect them better than any other social media platform."

Nguyen shared the secrets of Vietnamese classics, keeping her family's hands and mouth busy.

“When we grow up, we don’t have a traditional Thanksgiving dinner, but we always eat spring rolls. Everyone can sit around the table and make their own spring rolls, filling their mouths,” she said with a smile, and added “what if you With spring rolls in your mouth, you can’t get caught up in those stupid family arguments or have time to argue.”

The creators teamed up to present their recipes in person before Thanksgiving-look at all three below.

"Paht means sweet red beans in Korean," Molinaro said of the main ingredients in the recipe, which she kept secret until the release of her first recipe. "In my family, Thanksgiving is always a controversial moment-there is a group of people who want traditional American food, and the older generation want Korean classics-I want to create a recipe that is acceptable to both of our families."

She continued: "The red bean paste is not only much sweeter than the typical custard-like filling of traditional pecan pie, but I know that my family will immediately appreciate the familiar taste. I gave away my small pie on Thanksgiving. Since then, I have been asked to do this every year."

Ingredients for the pie crust: 1 1/2 cups (210 grams) all-purpose flour (see note) 1 tablespoon sugar 1 teaspoon salt 2/3 cups (152 grams) cold vegetarian butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes 3 to 4 Tablespoon of ice water

Instructions 1. To make the pie crust: In a food processor, mix flour, sugar, salt and pulses, and add butter at the same time, a few slices at a time.

Transfer the pie to the oven and bake until the pie filling is set (ie don't shake too much), 1 hour to 1 hour and 15 minutes. Place the pie on a metal rack to cool for 2 hours before serving.
