The "ice-skin mooncakes" were introduced less than ten years ago and were spread to the inland from Hong Kong at the beginning of this century. It is a skin made by mixing several powders with a little oil and milk, and then wrapping it into the stuffing to make the shape of a mooncake. Since it is a snack that is ready to eat or slightly refrigerated without being roasted, it is named "Ice Skin Moon Cake". It belongs to a product that combines China and the West. The earliest contents were butter and milk. The shape is mid-point, but the taste is similar to that of West Point.
The advantage of "ice-skin mooncakes" is that they are not greasy and are relatively healthy to eat. The disadvantage is that they are not suitable for storage. They can be stored for up to two days, so they can easily deteriorate. I had eaten it several times in Hong Kong a few years ago. The ice skin mooncakes made by some noodle masters still tasted very good.
In fact, the practice of this type of mooncake existed in the Tang Dynasty in my country. At that time, it was impossible to verify whether they were called mooncake, but they were generally collectively called "cold point". Later, it was spread to Japan. It was translated in Japanese as "steamed bun". I don't know if this is the word I'm sure, but the transliteration name is correct. It is actually a kind of small point made of bean wrapped with beans. It tastes very delicious. The methods include mung bean sand bag and red bean paste, red bean paste wrapped with red bean paste, red bean paste wrapped with kidney bean paste, pea sand bag and green bean paste, etc. There are also various bean paste wrapped with lotus paste or other fillings. In short, there are beans inside and outside. I call it bean wrapped with bean paste, haha! These snacks come in various shapes. When you open a box of exquisite packaging, the snacks will show out. The colors are red, white, yellow and green. They taste like a rustling in your mouth. They are sweet and delicious.
Today, I used a mooncake mold I just bought from Food World to make several small dots made of bean wrapped with beans. I named them "Doudou Fragrant Ice Skin Moon Cake". This kind of mooncake is very simple to make. The time and effort mainly involve steaming and boiling, but it is quickly made after the ingredients are prepared. The general approach is as follows;

Characteristics of this type of mooncake; the colors of individual mooncakes can be diversified, or they can also be mixed into colorful skins. The bean paste tastes delicate and rustle, sweet and delicious without greasy, and can be eaten in a variety of different flavors. Warm tips: 1. Hygiene is the most important thing to make this kind of mooncake. All utensils must be disinfected. The mold must be cleaned first, and then sprayed with 75 degrees alcohol for disinfection. It is best to use disposable film gloves during operation, or wash your hands repeatedly before operating. 2. All beans that are produced from sand can be made, such as red bean paste, kidney bean paste, pea paste, mung bean paste, etc., the color will be very beautiful and the taste will be very good. When buying red bean paste, you must choose a good big brand, and water bean paste is the best. 3. When cooking beans, it is recommended to use low heat to cook slowly, so that the cooked beans are soft and rotten and will produce more sand completely. They can be used directly after sieving. If the beans are boiled with a high heat, the water will be too much. After sieving, they must be processed and fried to consume the water inside. It is easy to fry without adding oil during frying, but it is unhealthy after adding oil, and secondly, the taste will not be pure. 4. Don't mix too much cooked powder, no more than 20%, as long as it is slightly bonded. If there are more beans, the taste will be less strong and the taste will be slightly worse. The snack "Doudou Fragrant Ice Skin Moon Cake" made from Doudou is ready. It tastes very delicate, oil-free and healthy, and has a sweet and rustling feeling after entering the mouth. It is great! The main reason is that the molds we buy are very easy to use, hehe! For friends 'reference!
