Mooncakes with Egg Yolk and Lotus Seed Paste
1.
After washing the lotus seeds, soak the lotus seeds in water until they are soft. Remove the lotus cores, add water that has not been soaked in the lotus seeds, and stew in a pressure cooker for half an hour until the lotus seeds are soft and rotten. The stewed lotus seeds are slightly cooled. In the mixing cup of the machine, use a food processor to beat into a puree-like wok and heat it up, add a tablespoon of peanut oil and 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar into the lotus seed puree, stir continuously, and mix the lotus seed puree with sugar and oil until absorbed. Pour in all the remaining fine sugar, heat it over medium heat and continue to fry until the lotus seed puree boils. Turn to medium and low heat and continue to stir fry over medium and low heat. Add peanut oil several times during the frying process. Each time, stir-fry until the lotus seed puree has completely absorbed the peanut oil, and then add it to the next stir-frying process. As the moisture continues to evaporate, the lotus seed puree will gradually thicken and stir to a relatively dry and hard state as shown in the figure. You can turn off the fire. Ready to use after the filling has cooled
