Snowy moon cakes are traditional Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival food. The main reason why it is called "Snowy Mooncake" is that it is different from the traditional way of making mooncakes. Because all traditional moon cakes are made of syrup, the color is golden yellow. Part of the raw material for snowy mooncakes is glutinous rice. The mooncakes made are white in appearance. It is too monotonous to eat mung bean cake alone. I add snowy skin on the surface of the mung bean cake and it is directly the snowy moon cake. The combination is also super delicious, you can try it
