I am a supporter of traditional dim sum, whether it is desserts or salty snacks. Traditional snacks do not use ovens and are more suitable for families without ovens.
I changed the sugar in this snack from rock sugar to xylitol. It is suitable for pregnant women and diabetics. The taste is not discounted. I have tried it before and it tastes very good and has a strong mung bean flavor.

Steps for mung bean cake

1
Just soak the green beans and cook them into regular green bean soup. Don't use too much water, otherwise it will be troublesome when squeezing them dry. (This is cooked mung bean soup, but half of it has been beaten into bean paste)
2
Use a blender to make mung bean paste. If you want to be more delicate, you can remove the skin of mung beans. I made it for pregnant women and didn't remove it. (This is the beaten bean paste)
3
Now it's time to squeeze dry the bean paste. I chose cotton cloth and spread it in the basin.

This is a picture taken while squeezing water. This is a huge project. Usually two people do it, but today I am the only one doing it.
5
This is the squeezed bean paste. It would be better if it could be squeezed and dried.
6
This is a photo that has just been fried for a while. I have always fried it over medium heat.
7
I have a lot of bean paste water, so I have stir-fried for about 40 minutes. At this time, I add about 30 ml of salad oil and continue to stir fry.
8
When stir-fry until the bean paste is scattered, but when it can form a ball with your hands, turn off the heat, and the flour of the mung bean cake is stir-fried.
9
Add appropriate amount of sugar. I used to grind rock sugar into powder and add it, but this time I added xylitol. I went to Riga three times. If I wanted to eat more sweeter things, and if I didn't like sweeter things, I would add less. My personal preference.
10
Use a mooncake mold to press the fried mung bean cake powder into shape. I pressed it at a rate of 35g each. After tamping the cake powder in the mooncake mold, I pressed it out of the mold.mung bean cake Make Tips
I bought lovely packaging and wrapped the cakes one by one, so that my sister-in-law could take one or two out at a time. However, this thing is really difficult to store. It only takes 4-5 days to freeze it, so it is recommended to freeze it for long-term storage. Take it out and steam it when you want to eat, and be careful not to let the steam drip on the cake (steam it without packaging, everyone).
