the first step is to make the filling of the mung bean cake. The first step is to choose the high-quality peeled green watercress.
After washing and soaking, drain the water, roll it into mud.
Then add a proper amount of white sugar, stir and stir well, and the made mung bean cake will become the filling of the mung bean cake.
Then, the making of the cake skin is divided into two steps. The first step is to make the surface skin, and knead it by hand with refined flour and pure rapeseed oil at a ratio of 3: 1. The second step is pastry, in which refined flour is added with rapeseed oil in a ratio of 1: 1 and kneaded evenly by hand until dough is formed.
Aunt Chen has to work hard to knead dough every day.
She asked Uncle Chen why most of them use lard and you use rapeseed oil. Uncle Chen said that lard has been used before, but nowadays many middle-aged and elderly people and children are not suitable for eating more lard, which is not good for health. Unsaturated fatty acids and essential fatty acids in rapeseed oil are much higher than lard. I choose high-quality rapeseed oil, which is tasteless. My wife loves to fry rapeseed oil when cooking.
With a skillful hand, each dough is the same size.
When the dough and stuffing are ready, the cake is made. First, a small dough with crust is pressed into pieces, and then a small dough with crust is pressed into pieces and overlapped on the dough with crust. The cake baked in this way can have multiple layers of taste and is crisp and refreshing.
Uncle Chen is mixing two kinds of dough, and the amount of mixed dough is very similar to the weight of each portion.
In some crafts, you can know the weight of each portion of cake crust by holding it with your fingers,
it is impartial, which takes a long time to practice.
The mung bean cake before baking
Then knead the dough into a bowl shape, add the mung bean cake stuffing, then pinch the mouth into a round ball shape, then stick a little white sesame seeds on the bottom, put it into a circular mold and press it into a cake shape with your palm, and a mung bean cake is formed.
rapid cake turning process
The baking process of the cake is very important. You need to stand in front of the oven to observe the color of the cake, constantly turn it over and add rapeseed oil in time until both sides of the cake are golden yellow. The whole baking process takes about half an hour. It takes years of experience to master the temperature, the turning time and the amount of brushing oil.
