chestnut paste
It's a bit busy these days. My mother has returned to the countryside, and the aunt who does housekeeping at home has also resigned. My son is at home during the holiday, and the daughters take turns catching a cold. I just keep spinning like a top, busy taking care of the young masters and young ladies at home.

I am busy every day, so busy that I almost forgot that August 15th was coming soon. Until yesterday, my young master asked me strangely, why did I not make mooncakes this year? Only then did I realize that August 15th was coming. Well, make the fillings first, the mooncakes, and then make them slowly.

    1. The amount of sugar can be added while trying. If it is used to make stuffing, it can be slightly sweeter than usual. It has more sugar, better taste, and is conducive to preservation. 2. Chestnut has less water and will be easier to loosen after cooling, so you can add a little more cooking oil as appropriate. 3. The amount of flour should be determined according to the thin consistency of the chestnut paste after mixing with the edible oil. Add it slowly, don't pour it all at once, knead it while pouring, and feel that it can be kneaded into shape.
