    A holiday that involves enjoying mooncakes is coming up on September 21st! Snowy mooncake is the easiest mooncake because there is no baking involved. It is served cold and the wrapper is translucent - very pretty. This little dessert is a symbol of reunion. I wish that you and your family, just like the round moon on Mid-Autumn Day, be bright and perfect.
    INGREDIENTS FOR THE CUSTARD FILLING
    160 grams of milk
    65 grams of melted butter
    1 whole egg
    3 egg yolks
    100 grams of sugar
    40 grams of cake flour (Amazon Link - geni.us/YYbt)
    25 grams of milk powder, optional, can be replaced with 2 tsp of Vanilla
    INGREDIENTS FOR THE WRAPPER
    35 grams of glutinous rice flour (Amazon Link - geni.us/1s75DEr)
    35 grams of rice flour (Amazon Link - geni.us/OOY4zP)
    25 grams of wheat starch (Amazon Link - geni.us/Q8ROD)
    30 grams of sugar
    135 grams of milk
    18 grams of sweetened condensed milk (Amazon Link - geni.us/ZI5C)
    18 grams of vegetable oil
    OTHERS
    20 grams of baked glutinous rice flour
    INSTRUCTIONS
    In a mixing bowl, thoroughly whisk one whole egg plus three egg yolks then combine with the melted butter and milk.
    In a separate bowl, mix the dry ingredients: cake flour, sugar, and milk powder.
    Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients. Stir until no lumps. Pour the mixture through a sieve into a saucepot. Heat it on low heat and stir for 6-10 minutes or the mixture thickens into the scrambled egg texture. Transfer it into a container and cover it with a plastic film. Let it chill for at least 3 hours.
    While waiting, you can make the wrapper. In a glass or ceramic bowl, thoroughly combine all the wrapper ingredients until there are no lumps in the mixture.
    The traditional way is to steam this on high heat for 30 minutes. I found that it is much faster to use a microwave. Cover the bowl with a ceramic plate. Doesn’t need to be sealed completely. We just want to prevent the steam from escaping too fast.
    Microwave it 3 times (1.5 minutes, 1 minute, and 30 seconds) and mix the mixture in between each time. Depending on the power of your microwave, you may need to adjust the third microwaving time slightly until you don’t see any runny liquid. Let it cool to a point that it doesn't burn your hand.
    Knead the dough in between your hands for 5 minutes or until smooth and nonstick. Recommend to wear gloves to prevent stickiness. Portion it into 12 pieces and roll into smooth balls. Each of them should be 20 grams. Cover with plastic wrap so they don’t dry out.
    Take the custard filling out of the fridge and portion it into 12 pieces and roll into balls. Each of them should be 30 grams. Cover them so they don’t dry out.
    Take a piece of the wrapper dough and put it in between 2 parchment papers. Roll it with a rolling pin until it becomes 4 inches in diameter.
    To assemble the mooncakes, place the custard filling in the middle of the wrapper and carefully wrap it. Apply that to all 12 of the mooncakes.
    Toast 2 tbsp of glutinous rice flour in a non-stick pan over medium-low heat for a couple of minutes or until the glutinous rice flour becomes a little bit off-white.
    The wrapper is 20 grams, the filling is 30 grams so we will be using the 50 grams mold today. Dust the mooncake ball with a little bit of cooked glutinous rice flour. Shape it into a cylinder then carefully place it into the mold. Use some force and push it down onto a parchment paper until the pattern is dented. Then release the mooncake.
    Note: If you don’t have mooncake molds, you can just eat them without molding them. Since we are celebrating the mid-autumn festival, it is always nice to add a sense of ceremony to this dessert.

    Never had a snowy moon cake. So pretty! And look so different than what I’m used to eating. The wrapper looks like they would have a similar taste and texture to mochi- which i love!

    • @tacocatt6808
      @tacocatt6808 2 роки тому +27

      I’ve had both before and in my opinion mochi is chewier and stickier. Maybe because it’s pounded? Well you’re right in that there is some similarity in texture though.
      Interestingly, another popular type of moon cake is a baked red bean one, and to my knowledge a popular mochi flavour uses the same red bean paste filling.
      Though red bean moon cakes are even less sticky/chewy from my experience, so the flavour could be more similar but the texture would be more different.

    • @JingLiisnotreal
      @JingLiisnotreal 2 роки тому +8

      That’s because of the glutinous rice flour. Now I have far less experience with mochi so take this with a grain of salt, but I’m pretty sure they pound the glutinous rice into flour and then pound the dough over and over before using it. My family tends to make our mooncakes with only the glutinous rice flour (which more or less sticks everywhere until we dust everything with starch) but she’s using other ingredients for her dough because of the reasons she’s giving.

      Hey, I know this is off topic but have you heard of Jesus Christ? We are all made by God and we have all sinned against Him constantly. We have fallen short of His just requirements and need forgiveness and help with learning how to be holy as He is holy. For reference, sins include: lust, sex outside marriage, homosexuality, greed, coveting, lying, unrighteous anger etc. Which of us haven’t fallen short? But through Christ’s death on our behalf we have forgiveness, and through His resurrection we have hope of eternal life. Hmu if you want to know more :)

    I’ve made this two years in a row now and they’ve come out perfectly each time. The wrapper is so easy using your method. It takes me a really long time to get the custard to the right consistency (90 minutes) and I think it’s because my range’s lowest setting is too low. So I might experiment and up the flame a little higher and see it I can get it down to 30 minutes. Anyway the custard is so delicious too. My daughter devours these so quickly! Thanks Mandy.

    I tried making this and I especially love the skin! Super soft & chewy. I keep my mooncakes in the freezer and take them out to thaw slightly when I want to eat them and the skin remains soft & tasty.
    I switched the custard filling out for lotus filling since a couple of people I made them for can’t eat eggs. But nonetheless, I enjoyed your recipe!
    Tip: it’s important to make sure you don’t “overcook” the snow skin in the microwave (1min total was all it took for my microwave, so please test yours before your pop yours in). With the microwave oven, you need to be careful with that. I made a mistake for that initially and my first batch of skin came out hard and impossible to mold.

With originally Chinese people this can be very strong due to families wanting to distance themselves from their origins due to political trauma experienced by the older generation, as a result there are many young adults now who lack that connection and often simply don't know things like recipes either, or dances, music, art, et cetera

    I tried this recipe and it's dellllliiiiciiiiooouuuss!!
    I've prepared it two times already!
    The first time I accidentally cooked the filling a little bit longer, maybe a minute and it had started to come apart. So in all panic I removed it and kept it in the container, I could observe that the butter was coming out as well and so I thought "Well, it was good trying". However, that more "pasty like" consistency helped me later when I was wrapping them, and they came out perfect!
    The second time, following the instructions by the second, I did obtain the soft consistency that can be appreciated in the video but, oh boy did I struggle wrapping it! And then that kind of spreaded to the wrap as well and made it soft too, as if it was a bit moist. The moon cakes then were a bit too flabby and lost a bit of the mould pattern. They were delicious however, just like the first time.
    I loved doing this because it turned out to be as easy as you made it look, and I'll be preparing dozens and dozens of these to eat non stop!
    Thank you so much!!
