If you want to make moon cake filling, you have to process it again. The method is very simple, use cake flour, oil and sugar (moderate or not) to fry again. The above ingredients should be added in small quantities and in small batches, and then added again after absorption. Stir-fry until the date paste filling feels thicker and smoother, then it's almost done, and refrigerate it if it still feels a bit hard to form, it will be easier to work with after it's been refrigerated.
