Full Moon Mid-Autumn Festival---------[Cantonese Style Mung Bean Paste Mooncake]

Overview

I’m going back to my hometown in a few days, and I want to make some mooncakes for my family to try. This mung bean paste mooncake is my favorite. It’s smooth and delicate mung bean paste, with just the right sweetness and not greasy. It’s not like the mooncakes you buy that contain a lot of sugar and oil, as well as a lot of additives and preservatives. I can rest assured that the ones I make are hygienic and don’t contain any preservatives. I hope my family will like the mooncakes I make!
