Chaoshan pastry, I love mung bean cake, especially Zhanglin mung bean cake, the taste is delicate and sweet. Every Mid-Autumn Festival, my friends always bring me mung bean cakes made by his uncle’s house. The little mung bean cakes have hidden secrets. The fragrant green tea and lotus paste, sweet jujube puree and bean paste...every piece makes me intoxicated and eaten. Read it for a year. Sometimes, I am really greedy for mung bean cakes, but I just can't buy the natural soy scent of my friend's uncle. I have always wanted to do it myself and found a lot of information. This Zhanglin mung bean cake is a sophisticated method, and it has to go through the processes of boiling, boiling, peeling, drying and grinding the beans, especially the step of grinding the beans. As the saying goes, "In the past, A Niang grinds mung beans and only puts three pieces at a time." It means that mung bean cakes must be made soft and delicate. The key is to grind mung bean flour finely. Ground mung beans, add white sugar and edible oil, mix well, repeatedly mix and knead to make a mashed cake, and then use family-owned wood to carve cakes with patterns such as "Fu", "Lu" and "Shou" After embossing, it is placed in a steamer and steamed for 5-10 minutes to become a mouth-watering Zhanglin mung bean cake. When embossing pastries, you can also add bean paste, sesame seeds, lotus paste and other fillings in the middle.
On weekends, the mung bean cake I was thinking about playing at home had a lot less process, but the victory was the fine selection of materials. The mung bean cake made was still fragrant and warm as jade. "
