I have been in China for 8 years. Every year, local friends give me Chinese mooncakes enthusiastically. I think many Chinese dim sums are exquisite and magnificent, and they can be called works of art! The crust of Cantonese-style mooncakes is a delicate work from the outer crust. The crust is soft and oily with rich and solid fillings. The taste is really great. I love it very much!
But I found that although Japan and China are very close, some Chinese friends still ask me: Does Japan have a Mid-Autumn Festival? Do Japanese eat mooncakes? What do Japanese mooncakes look like?
In fact, the Mid-Autumn Festival in Japan is called Tsukumi Festival, which means to enjoy the moon, and what we eat on the fifteenth day of the eighth lunar calendar is a kind of glutinous rice dumplings. This period coincides with the harvest season of various crops, and people will hold various ceremonies to celebrate, and Tsukimi dumplings were first traditional offerings for ritual snacks.
Tsukimi dumplings themselves have no taste. Since the evolution, Tsukimi dumplings have been eaten in many ways, such as spreading sweet red bean paste on Tsukimi dumplings, sprinkling soybean flour, coating with sweet sauce, and even making them. Rabbit shape, or add matcha powder or chestnut powder to make colorful dumplings and so on.
Every year, new friends ask me, so in the CityShop cooking class this month, I specially taught you how to make the easy-to-use "Tsukimi Danzi" and also taught you how to make Japanese sauces. Chefs who prefer red bean paste or soybean flour to sauces can buy the corresponding ingredients and sprinkle on the dumplings according to their preferences~
You eat mooncakes every Mid-Autumn Festival, so why not change to our Japanese dim sum this year! "
