Jujube Paste Skin Mooncake
Snow skin pre-mixed powder 150g | Cold boiled water/mineral water 60g |
Pork suet/butter 8g | Red dates 300g |
Salad oil (increase or decrease appropriately) 60g | Cooked glutinous rice flour 20g |
Purple Sweet Potato Flour 4-5g | Matcha powder 1-2g |
Flour (hand flour) Appropriate amount |
Step 1
300g red dates, pittedStep 2
Steam/boil the red dates in a pot for 15 minutes. After boiling the red dates, it is easier to sift and peel them. I just beat them with a wall-breaking machine the lazy way, so I just added water and pureed them after steaming.Step 3
Add an appropriate amount of water and beat into a fine paste. The wall breaker will make the paste more delicate. If there is no wall breaker, it is recommended to sift and peel. This process will be more cumbersome. The more water you add, the longer it will take to fry the stuffing later. So add water to make it smooth and puree. Press the sauce button and beat for three minutes.Step 4
Although you can still see a little bit of skin, it doesn’t taste as rough as the skin at all. It’s more nutritious to eat with the skin on. The taste of the skin is a bit astringent. If you’re a perfectionist, I recommend peeling it off.Step 5
Put the non-stick pan into a medium-low heat and stir-fry, add the cooked glutinous rice flour, add the oil four times, wait until the oil is completely absorbed, then add the next time, you can omit it if it feels like it is almost lumpy.Step 6
The jujube paste needs to be fried to such an extent that your fingers will not stick to it. Personally, I feel that the red dates are sweet enough, so I did not add sugar. If you like sweetness, it is recommended to add sugar in advance otherwise the unmelted sugar particles will taste bad.Step 7
Ice skin pre-mixed powder + lard + mineral water mix wellStep 8
Then knead it with your own hands for about five minutes.Step 9
Take a quarter and add 4-5 grams of purple sweet potato starch and knead evenly.Step 10
Take a quarter and add 1-2 grams of matcha powder and mix wellStep 11
Seal the bag and refrigerate for half an hourStep 12
Hand flour: Pour the flour into a pot and stir-fry over low heat until slightly brown, then turn off the heat and set aside.Step 13
Divide 25g each of the jujube paste filling and set aside (please see the picture. The filling is relatively hard and non-sticky. This is the state for making mooncake fillings)Step 14
Twist the two colors of dough into twists, then divide each 25g piece of dough into a round shape and wrap it with date paste filling. Sprinkle an appropriate amount of hand flour on the outside, find a beautiful surface and put it into the mooncake mold. Please pay attention. Roll it into an oval shape and put it in without scratching the dough, then press it hard and a beautiful mooncake will come out.Step 15
You can choose the snowskin mooncake pattern you like. Mine is a 50g mold. The crust and filling are 1:1. Mooncakes have high calories, so a small one of 50g is almost enough.Step 16
Isn’t the pattern beautiful?Step 17
This amount can make about eight 50g mooncakesStep 18
Do you want to have one?Step 19
This time I used the Supor Jiyang wall-breaking cooking machine. Because red dates are very hot when steamed, this machine is equipped with two cups. The high-temperature glass can be heated. Of course, there is no pressure when making hot red dates. It beats other plastics instantly. The material of the food processor is good, and the glass is very thick and feels heavy in the hand. No need to worry that heating will release harmful substances, truly bringing health to your family Cooking tips for jujube paste mooncakes1. The purpose of cooked glutinous rice flour is to absorb the moisture in the jujube paste so that the filling can reach a more appropriate softness and hardness, because if it is too soft, it will be difficult to wrap the filling. If you don’t have cooked glutinous rice flour, you can also stir-fry it in a pot over low heat like hand flour. Just slightly yellow. 2. Jujube paste can also be used to make jujube chiffon, jujube pound cake, jujube toast, etc. There are many things you can make. 3. Snowskin mooncakes are different from ordinary mooncakes and need to be refrigerated to be delicious, and they need two or three days. Eat it as soon as possible within a day, otherwise the taste will not be good
