In fact, it’s easy to make mung bean cake at home. If you want to save trouble, just like me, you can buy a bag of peeled mung beans directly online, soak in a bubble and wash it, and cook it in the electric rice cooker just like cooking. Add some sugar and oil Stir-fry, put it on the chopping board, arrange it into squares, and cut into pieces with a knife to eat. If you like beautiful shapes, you can buy a special mold for mung bean cake, or press it with a ready-made moon cake mold like me. The mung bean cake made is much more beautiful than the flat cubes sold outside.
The mung bean cake made by myself is made of real materials and has no additives. I don’t want to eat greasy, so I abandon the traditional sesame oil and switch to corn oil. At the same time, to enhance the taste, I added some butter and mung bean paste filling to make the taste richer and more nutritious and delicious. While I was going to wash my hands, the one who ate 3 yuan at a time, but he said: "It is sweet and not oily, it is delicious, and I still want to eat it." No, I have to give it to my mom, brothers and sisters to taste it too; they unanimously praised me: the mung bean cake I made is delicate and smooth, the sweetness is just right, eating a few more pieces does not feel greasy, really good . Here is another suggestion: it tastes better after being refrigerated~~"
