In summer in Guangdong, it's sultry and humid. At noon, the outdoor temperature is 35 degrees Celsius. What can I eat to cool off the heat in hot weather? Ice cream, sour plum soup, red bean paste, tortoise plast, bean jelly, mung bean soup and mung bean cake, etc., are all summer food. These cool foods suitable for summer are on the list I make for my family. I will make these delicious summer food for my family in turn.

If I ask my family, "What is the best food to eat in summer?" They will definitely say, "mung bean soup and mung bean cake, and the food made from mung beans are very suitable for summer." Mung beans are sweet and cold in nature, clearing away heat and toxic materials, dispelling summer heat and quenching thirst. Mung beans are really a good summer product. In July, most students have had a holiday, and the children spend their summer holidays at home. Make healthy and nutritious snacks for their children and let them have a happy summer vacation. This time, I would like to share the practice of mung bean cake. The practice of mung bean cake is quite simple. Soak mung beans, then cook them, then stir-fry them, and press them into a beautiful shape with a mold. The mung bean cake made by myself is delicate, soft and delicious. Parents can make some mung bean cakes for their children, and of course, they can also make mung bean cakes with their children to experience the fun of doing it.

I make some mung bean cakes every summer. In the past, I used to use mung beans with skins, and peeled all mung beans after soaking. Later, I saw peeled mung beans, which saved the step of peeling mung beans and made the process of making mung bean cakes much easier. In summer, dried cranberries can be added to make mung bean cakes. Cranberries have a unique sweet and sour taste. When the weather is hot in summer, the appetite decreases. Eat dried cranberries to promote digestion and appetite. Dried cranberries contain a variety of vitamins, minerals and amino acids, which are easily absorbed and digested by the human body. Mung bean cakes with dried cranberries look good and delicious.

Cranberry Mung Bean Cake

Ingredients: 3g peeled mung beans, 5g dried cranberries, 5g butter and 6g sugar.

Practice

The first step is to soak 3 grams of peeled mung beans in clear water until they can be crushed by gently pinching them. In the process of soaking mung beans, change the water to remove the bean smell. Put peeled mung beans into a rice cooker, add water one knuckle higher than mung beans, and cook mung beans with the rice cooker cooking function key.

Step 2: Put the mung beans cooked by the rice cooker into a meat grinder and stir them into mung bean paste. I used the rice cooker cooking function key, and the mung beans did not contain much water after cooking. Mung beans can be steamed in a steamer.

in the third step, mung beans are stirred into fine mung bean paste with a meat grinder, and mung beans can be stirred into mung bean paste with a wall-breaking machine or a cooking machine.

the fourth step is to add butter and sugar to the wok, and stir-fry the butter with a small fire to melt it.

Step 5: Pour in the stirred mung bean paste, which contains little water. Mix the mung bean paste and butter evenly, and stir a few times to make the mung bean paste and butter mix well.

Step 6: Chop the dried cranberries, add the dried cranberries into the mung bean paste, stir-fry for a few times and mix well.

Step 7: Mix the dried cranberries with the mung bean paste and turn off the heat, because the cooked mung beans have little moisture, and the whole process of frying mung beans is very fast.

in the eighth step, divide the mung bean paste into 45g pieces, each piece is rounded, and the mung bean cake is pressed out with a 5g die.

-Connie said-

The first mung bean should be soaked in advance, so that the mung bean will be cooked and soft, and it will turn into mung bean paste after a few stirring.

The second mung bean can be steamed in a steamer. I use a rice cooker to cook mung beans without firing, so it's convenient to watch.

Third, corn oil can be used to stir-fry mung beans. I used butter to stir-fry mung beans. The stir-fried mung bean paste has milk flavor, and with the addition of butter, the mung bean cake is soft and delicious.
