The husband who lost his wife was not discouraged. He worked hard to develop a delicious cake, and finally redeemed his wife by selling cakes to earn money and live a happy life again. This delicious recipe has been passed down to this day and is called "wife cake".

The outer layer of a Wife cake is essentially made by wrapping oil dough in water-oil dough, then repeatedly folding and rolling it to achieve a flaky texture, whereas the fillings are rich and varied and can be created according to personal preference. Today, I made a mung bean filling to alleviate the immense guilt the flaky crust brings to me as I am on a diet. Also, traditional flaky pastries are typically made with lard, but since I didn't have any at home, I substituted it with butter.
