Mung Bean Cake: Fragrant and moist, like Chaoshan jade biscuits.
I love mung bean pie at Chaoshan, especially mung bean pie at Zhangling, which is tender and sweet in mouth. Every Mid-Autumn Festival, my friend always brings me mung bean cakes made at his uncle's house. Small bean cakes still hold secrets such as fragrant green tea and lotus seed paste, sweet jujube paste and bean paste. ..Each work intoxicates me Remember last year. Sometimes I really want mung bean cakes, but I just can't buy my friend's uncle's natural bean flavor. I always wanted to make it myself, and found a lot of information. Zhanglin's bean cake cooking method is delicious. It has to go through procedures of boiling beans, boiling beans, cleaning, drying beans, and grinding beans, especially step of grinding beans. As saying goes: “My grandmother used to grind mung beans and put in only three grains at a time.” Grind mung beans into powder, add white sugar and edible oil, mix well, stir several times and knead cake dough, and then use family wood to carve cakes with patterns such as "Fu", "Lu" and "Shou" . After embossing and shaping, place it in a steamer and steam for 5-10 minutes to make a mouth-watering zhanglin mung bean cake. When embossing baking, you can also add bean paste, sesame paste, lotus seed paste and other toppings On weekends, mung bean cake that I was thinking of playing at home takes much less time, but advantage is that material is carefully chosen, and mung bean cake is still fragrant and moist as jade.
