Red Bean ‪Mooncake Recipe, Happy Mid-Autumn Festival! 🥮🥮🥮 CiCi Li - Asian Home Cooking Recipes

Wyn cake were European is a quintessential food for the mid-autumn festival because of the roundness is symbolizes family reunion and togetherness higher everybody's me against CC and the mid-autumn festival which is right around the corner and it's celebrated on the 15 days of the eight months on the lunar calendar which falls on September 13 this year so today I'm gonna share with you my favorite red bean moon cake recipe I'm sure you're gonna love it to make the dough in a large mixing bowl we're going to add the golden syrup so this is one of the main ingredients that helps the moon cake to be truly soft and shiny all at the same time peanut oil lye water and then mixed well so here's also a legend about the mid-autumn festival a long time ago there were a ten-cent in the sky as you can imagine we're hot enough just having one Sun if there's a $0.10 in the sky the earth will be dying out all the plants would be burned now we're gonna transfer in the sifted flour then you want unmixed and then me until you don't see any flower anymore for about three minutes so there was one day a hero named ho he use of his bowl to shoot down nice sons so the Western Queen mother wanted to thank Hawaii for doing all that she gave ho me a bottle of lexer so the lecture can make him become immortal and fly into the moon and all of that amazing stuff but how he didn't wanted to become immortal just by himself he wanted to stay at home in his wife so then he kept this black sir at home now just wrap it up with a plastic wrap and let it rest for two hours to make the filling in a pan we're going to transfer in the red bean paste I saved us a couple of hours but using this pre-made sweet red bean paste but it doesn't happen all you're in it and the moon cake needs the oil in order for the skin to be starving shiny and also chewy at the same time and has it the peanut oil and constantly stir over low heat for about three minutes then pouring the rest of the oil and stir until thoroughly combined for another nine minutes so in the story there is a villain named poem on which know that so he has the selector he wanted to steal away from him so one day holy wasn't at home and homo went to his house and tried the to speak the electorate from his plate chalu is the name of hos wife she decided to drink it left sir because she didn't want Omo to take it away the paste should feel really thick and heavy like peanut butter texture and when your arm feels really sore and you can no longer do it you know is ready so now we're going to transfer the paste into a plate where until it is cool down for about one hour the film will be harder after it is cool you can also chew it in the fridge to make the filling boss take out 2.6 ounces of filling measure the exact weight with a skill make a ball with your palms just like this then just put it on a plate and do the same with the rest of the filling to make the dough balls take out one point eight ounces of dough measure the exact weight with a skill make a ball with your palms and a small amount of flour if the dough is too sticky and hard to handle and put it on a plate and you want to cover it up with a plastic wrap to prevent it from drying out alright so now we're going to lightly dust the working surface with flour and take a dough ball and pet it with your palm into a disk about three inches in diameter so then all of a sudden it makes Chandler fly to the moon and she would stay there forever so that now the story kind of become a long distant relationship between China and Hoey [Music] at a filling bar in the center wrap the dough around the filling bring edges up to cover the filling completely so just to remember chawla hole yeah other people started to worship to the moon with many offerings so that is one of the legends of the mid-autumn festival roll it into a ball then we're going to dust the ball with flour place the ball and the mole and we're going to gently flatten it until the Sosa entire mode put the mole on a parchment-lined at tray press the stem down and slowly look the mold to release the balloon kick on the tray immediately we want to cover it with a plastic wrap to prevent from drying out and we're just going to repeat with the rest of the dough and the filling now we want to spray the mooncakes put water cover it up with a plastic wrap and let it rest for about 30 minutes this will prevent the bouquet from cracking to make the egg wash in a bowl we're going to add an egg yolk [Music] and one tablespoon of water whisk until combined so to the egg wash set aside all right so now it's time to bake the moon cakes and before we're putting it in the oven we want to spray the moon cakes with water again before baking again this will prevent the moon cakes from having all these little cracks after it is baked we're going to transfer the moon cakes in the middle row of a preheated oven and the 400 degrees Fahrenheit for five minutes remove from the oven and let it cool for 15 minutes so we want the moon cakes to be cool first before applying the egg wash otherwise the patterns might be destroyed lightly brush the egg wash all over the moon cakes so we want to use a light brush here we don't want it to be too hard or put too much on it because this also might destroy the patterns so on the day of the mid-autumn festival Chinese people would get together with their family and friends then you dinner together and of course share moon cake together because that symbolizes good luck and good fortune and also together in this as the whole family [Music] we're gonna return the moon cakes back in the oven and bake under 375 degrees Fahrenheit for another 10 minutes all right we're gonna remove from the oven and wait until it is cool for about 30 minutes then transfer to a wire to cool down completely for another two hours and you know what the moon cake today we cannot eat it immediately because we have to store it in an airtight container for about two days before serving or eating because only after two days the skin of the moon cakes will be solving SHINee and the color will also deepen if you eat it immediately you'll find out that the moon cake skin is actually quite hard [Music] [Music] you there's so many different types of fillings for a mooncake anything red bead red days Lotus see which one is your favorite
