Tomorrow is Mid-Autumn Festival - a holiday for children. This holiday originates from China, tt traditionally falls on the 15th day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar ( around September or October according to the solar calendar). The Mid Autumn Festival is the second most important festival after Chinese New Year because it's organized on a very large scale. In addition to China and Vietnam, in Korea, Japan, Singapore, Malaysia or the Philippines also have these holidays, but the meaning of the holiday is different. 😆On this holiday, people often give each other good wishes and gifts, especially people often give each other moon cakes. Although it is a children's holiday, this is also an occasion for couples to express their love to each other, a day for family reunions, a holiday where everyone goes out and looks at the moon.😍
But this year's Mid-Autumn Festival is the saddest one because the Covid-19 pandemic has taken everything away. All adults and children must stay at home, watching the Mid-Autumn Festival on the TV. 😭This year my family and I have to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival at home and eat mooncakes together.😢 I remember years ago me and my friends used to go to the mid-autumn festival to take pictures and release the lanterns into the sky, it was like my dreams were flying high (In those lanterns were wishes for those I love about health, love or education,..). This year because I have too much free time, my friends and I make many kinds of moon cakes and sell them. Mooncakes have 2 shapes: square (representing the land), round (representing the moon, symbolizing wholeness and warmth). The filling includes many different flavors such as: green tea, chocolate, salted egg, roasted chicken, grilled meat, green beans, cantaloupe, .. in short, there is no limit on how to make the filling. Just add whatever ingredients you like. Moon cake so simple to make and I can't believe it's so easy. See my recipe here: (Bake in oven or air fryer)🌚🌚
Making the crust:
Ingredient:
- Wheat flour
- Peanut butter
- Cooking oil
- Honey
- Egg yolk
- Ingredients for spread on the cake : egg yolk, fresh milk, cooking oil
Let's see some pictures of cute moon cakes:
Types of cake fillings:
Example of making green bean flavored mooncakes:
- Green bean
- Sugar
- Cooking oil or coconut oil
- Flexible dough
Similar to chocolate or green tea cakes, you just need to add flavoring powder.
The filling of mixed cakes is more complicated, so the price of mixed moon cakes is more expensive than the price of green bean, chocolate, etc. - Pumpkin seeds
- Lotus seeds
- Lemon leaves
- Roasted sesame
- Sausage
- Pumpkin jam
- Melon seeds
- Orange peel jam
- Cashew
- Sunflower seed
- Sugar marinated fat
- Jambon
Because the recipe for the moon cake is quite long, I will write the next part in part 2 (tomorrow). 😆😗
