Black Sesame Chiffon

Went to HOI.. Hands itchy so bought a pack of 100gm black sesame powder. The staff said it's their best seller recently. Without an idea of what to do with it, I google search and found this black sesame chiffon recipe.

The black sesame taste is mild and u need to slowly chew to release it's flavor. But I love this recipe as the whites are very easy to fold in and my chiffon did not crack very badly.
