There are too many controversies about five-ren moon cakes. The first is the dispute about whether they love to eat or not, and the second is the dispute about which five-ren mooncakes are. According to the new standard issued by the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine and the National Standardization Management Committee, it was formally implemented in December 2015. The new standard gives a clear definition of the five-core mooncake that has received much attention. The mooncake filled with walnut kernels, almonds, olive kernels, melon seeds and sesame kernels are processed into fillings, which can be called "five kernel moon cakes". So now making five-ren mooncakes is based on the order. By the way, olive kernels are really expensive. To make five kernel moon cakes, I bought 160 yuan for half a catty. But in order to make mooncakes that meet the requirements, I also fight it, haha. The main reason is that my family loves to eat five-core moon cakes. They make real materials with thin skins and enough preservatives. It is worth the money and effort. My Wuren recipe comes from my friend who is a pastry chef. This sister has been a pastry technician in a food factory for many years. Because of her sister’s love, she gave me the recipe without reservation. For today’s mooncake, I adjusted the sugar part of the recipe based on my many times of making it. First, I reduced 30 grams of sugar, and then replaced 50 grams of sugar with 50 grams of honey, so it’s more low-sugar. Healthy, it tastes less sweet but still very sweet. Because the ingredients are very carefully, I call it "Five Ren".
