Best idea ever. I remember the last time i made mooncakes with my ahma was like..14? Or maybe earlier, can't recall. I brought the same traditional moulds for us to use this time.
See utensils:
One interesting thing we all learnt today: Salted Eggs come with semi-solid Egg Yolks!!! Damn cute! So all we had to do was drain the whites and all that's left is the bright shiny red centre!
So cute right!!!
Okay actually we cheated coz we bought instant mix for the flour skins and ready-made lotus/green tea paste for the fillings. So it was basically just playing with dough the whole time. hahaha! Check out the guys fooling around with the dough. ALL the bing-pi had Ian's 'essence' in it coz he was the one kneading everything.
Step 1: Grab the bing-pi and flatten it.
Step 2: Grab a ball of lotus paste or green tea paste.
Step 3: Wrap the ball of filling (optional to wrap around egg yolk) with the bing-pi.
Step 4: Press the whole dough into the mould.
Step 5: Pop it out, put it in the fridge and its ready to eat!
The fruits of our labour:
My ahma's traditional moulds are super pretty!! It says 中秋月饼 in different shapes.
In total we made like more than 40 pieces. haha super high.
Yup, another successful outing down! :) Thank god for A Block, seriously!
