This is to prevent the moon cake from sticking to the mold. 2. Weigh about 40g of mooncake skin. 3. Weigh about 60g of mooncake stuffing, and then knead it into stuffing balls (of course, it is not necessarily 60g, as long as the ratio of skin to stuffing is 4: 6). 4. When the mooncake skin is pressed by hand, the mooncake skin will eventually become thick in the middle and thin around. 5. Put the stuffing ball into it, then push it up with one hand and press the edge with the other hand to completely wrap the stuffing into the dough. 6.

Ways to eat moon cakes healthily Sweet moon cakes with bitter coffee are fashionable and refreshing. Sweet moon cakes can be paired with sugar-free bitter coffee. The two complement each other and have a refreshing taste. It can also be paired with pomegranate juice that is in season now, and it would be better if lotus seeds were added. Sweet grapefruit with a hint of bitterness is also a perfect match for moon cakes. Of course, tea and red wine are also good choices.
Why do fruit-flavored moon cakes have wax gourd? For moon cakes with fruit and its products as the main raw materials (such as "mango moon cake" and "pineapple moon cake"), the amount of fruit and its products in the stuffing should be no less than 25%. If the content of fruit and its products is lower than this standard, it is a "fruity" moon cake. Wax gourd often appears in this kind of moon cakes.
"Sugar-free moon cakes" are not all completely sugar-free. Sugar-free foods are sweet foods without sucrose and starch sugar, that is, they should not contain any kind of sugar. However, the main ingredients of sugar-free moon cakes are mostly wheat flour, vegetable oil, lotus seed paste, edible alkaline water and maltitol. The sugar-free mentioned on the label of the merchant is actually only sucrose-free, and it also contains starch.

I am a staunch lover of Wuren moon cakes. The main reason why many people hate Wuren moon cakes is that they have never eaten delicious Wuren moon cakes, or that many cheap Wuren moon cakes on the market have ruined this variety. According to my observation, the main ingredients of the unpalatable Wuren moon cake are cheap, and there are brown caramel-like particles with peanut rock candy, green red silk and winter melon candy. In order to reduce the cost, unscrupulous merchants doped some inexplicable things into it, such as syrup used in pineapple stuffing and even starch directly. Anyway, any leftovers can be added to Wuren in the past, and all the blame will be given to it. What makes my eggs ache is that sometimes the candied winter melon is too big to eat, which is what you call sticky and disgusting. The most popular is often the most diaosi, so Wuren, a civilian diaosi moon cake, will not appear in the gift box. In fact, the authentic Wuren moon cake is not cheap and tastes excellent. I remember very clearly that during the Mid-Autumn Festival in 2007, my cousin brought back the Wuren moon cake from the handicraft workshop in Guangdong. People all made on-site packaging by hand. One moon cake 15 was wrapped in oil paper, which looked very simple. Open the oiled paper, which is a flat piece, about the size of the palm of your hand, with many thin fillings, all kinds of nuts, sesame seeds, small crystal sugar (this is very important, and the crystal sugar block is too big to affect the taste), lotus seed, etc. What impressed me most was that there were so many sunflower seeds and black sesame seeds in it that it was called a fragrance when chewed! Well, today I think of it, in fact, there is nothing that is not delicious, either the materials are bad or I can't make it. Since then, I have always tried Wuren moon cakes, but most of them disappointed me. Later, moon cakes became gift boxes and even moon cake tickets (moon cake securitization! ), basically lost its edible value. What we saw were layers of flashy packaging, expensive gift boxes sent over, and a limited number of gold-plated wooden ones. When we opened the layers of outer packaging, we saw four small and poor moon cakes, which were tasteless. There is no longer the feeling of celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival as a child, the feeling of a family gathering at grandparents' home for reunion. Now working alone outside, I miss my relatives more every festive season. I can't go home to honor my parents, so I can only send my blessings by phone. Sigh! I want to find an authentic mooncake shop, buy some Wuren mooncakes that are poorly packaged but carefully made, and gently say to my daughter, this is your father's favorite Wuren mooncake. Would you like to try it?
