Tips:
1. Cheats for fast cooking of red beans: put it in the refrigerator and freeze, quickly take it out and cook;
2. When adding oil, the red bean paste should be fried until the oil is completely absorbed;
3. The mooncake crust is very sticky when it is mixed well and needs to be left for 1-2 hours;
4. Before putting it in the oven, spray water again, it should not be too early, it is easy to lose the moon cake pattern;
5. Don't apply too much egg yolk liquid, as the place where the egg yolk liquid is easy to stick.
6. Each oven is different, the time and temperature are slightly different.
