Cantonese style beef mooncake
In the cut section, large pieces of beef gleamed in between. It reminds me of the past barbecued pork/gold hook mooncakes. Very tempting. There are still a few days until the Mid-Autumn Festival, why should we stop work? What kind of beef is beef? Health? Still familiar? The words are unclear. However, it is safer to use cooked beef. In fact, I have already decided what kind of beef to use. Once you decide to do it, go to the supermarket and buy a small piece of beef in sauce. I have thought about it for a long time: boiled beef in plain water is definitely out of date; braised beef may be good too; but the sauced beef in the supermarket is also very good, the meat is tender and tender, and the most important thing is that you don’t need to buy too much. Use a third of the mooncakes and serve the rest directly to the table. Making the stuffing wasn't difficult, but it ended up being too careless. In fact, I was quite cautious at the beginning, but in the end I became impulsive: before I even grasped the oil, I poured all the water in the formula into it. Maybe, you can use no water at all, maybe, only use half of it at most. However, it was too late - the filling was obviously too soft. It's not that it can't be made up for. It just takes a lot of trial and error, and, most importantly, the amount of filling will be more than you budgeted for. Just make do with it. Hope nothing goes wrong while baking. It's not even mud that can't be held up to the wall. Although it cannot maintain an upright spherical shape for a long time; although you have to be more careful when wrapping it; although you do not dare to let it stay alone for a long time after it is formed. Immediately put it into the oven, set the fire quickly, and finally the effect was pretty good. There was no worry about collapse or bursting. There was an unexpected discovery - the moist filling shortened the time for the crust to return to oil. It can be considered a success. . . .

Chestnut Paste Mooncake
The annual Mid-Autumn Festival is here again, and it’s another festival for making mooncakes; this is the second time I’ve made puff pastry mooncakes, using chestnuts as the filling. The so-called [Puff-Skin Mooncake] has a very crispy outer skin, and the texture is so crispy when you bite into it. Chestnuts are very fragrant and a little sweet, so I did not add sugar when frying the chestnut puree; if you like a sweet filling, you can add a little sugar. You can eat more home-made fillings without feeling tired, mainly because there is not a lot of oil and sugar added; since it is home-made without adding preservatives, you must put it in the refrigerator and eat it as soon as possible. . In fact, making mooncakes is very simple, you just need to spend some time making the fillings; the so-called home-made ones are healthy and hygienic.

Zongzi Love Dragon Boat Festival--Simple [Clear Water Zongzi]
The Dragon Boat Festival will be here in a few days. When it comes to the Dragon Boat Festival, many people who are away from home will miss the rice dumplings in their hometown. I am no exception, so every year when I can’t go home during the Dragon Boat Festival, I make some rice dumplings to relieve my homesickness. Zongzi in the north are mostly made of red dates or candied dates. Unlike in the south, there are many kinds of zongzi, including clear water rice dumplings, fresh meat rice dumplings, egg yolk meat rice dumplings, bean paste, alkaline water rice dumplings, pork ribs rice dumplings, and sausage rice dumplings. In the past two years, rice dumplings made with pork ribs and sausages were made every year. This year, my son said that he most wanted to eat clear water rice dumplings dipped in sugar. In fact, I also like to eat clear water rice dumplings. I don’t put anything in them, just wrap glutinous rice, and what I eat is the fragrance of the rice dumpling leaves. I made these rice dumplings more than ten days ago. I cooked some and gave them away. The rest were frozen in the refrigerator and can be steamed when I want to eat them. There was a discount on glutinous rice in the supermarket yesterday, so I bought another 4 kilograms. When the weather gets cooler, I will pack some in the freezer so that I can still have rice dumplings to eat after the Dragon Boat Festival.

Bean Paste Filling---A filling that can be used in all kinds of pasta
Keep working hard on my mooncake fillings... Red bean filling is the most commonly used filling in our family and the little ones' favorite filling. The fillings you make yourself have a delicate taste and are healthy, so you can eat them with confidence. For the red bean paste I made this time, I also used a strainer to filter the shells of the red beans. I added brown sugar and maltose when frying, and it tasted great. When it was first fried, the little guy thought it was chocolate powder, so he ate most of the bowl...

Mung bean cake
When I was a child, my nostalgia was like a small piece of mung bean cake. I was here and my family was there. If mung bean cake represents a taste of hometown, then every time you eat mung bean cake, it will be a kind of nostalgia for your hometown. Mung bean cake is a traditional Chinese dessert. Although there are some differences between the mung bean cakes in the north and the south, almost no one would reject it. The soft and melt-in-the-mouth sweetness will make your whole body and mind cool when you eat it. Mung beans are cold in nature, which is perfect for clearing away heat and detoxifying in summer. Therefore, every summer, the trend of eating mung bean cakes is set off. In this season when everything you eat makes you feel tired, if you really have no appetite, you can eat a few pieces of mung bean cake to relieve heat and soothe your hot stomach.

Osmanthus Honey Bean Rice Dumpling
Which one is your favorite, sweet rice dumplings or salty rice dumplings? ! How popular this topic is! Can I say both are OK? Because when I encountered honey bean rice dumplings with a strong cinnamon aroma, I was conquered by the sweetness again. So as long as it suits me, I think it’s delicious, especially if I make it myself. I don’t particularly like eating rice dumplings because I find them difficult to digest, but making them myself is another thought. Because they are small and have a lot of ingredients, I don’t feel guilty eating two. That’s how it feels!

Peace every year---Laba porridge
Don’t be greedy, little kids, come here and it’s the New Year’s Eve. The annual Laba Festival is here again, and every time it comes to Laba, memories of Laba arise unconsciously. When I was a child, my mother would get up in the morning during Laba! Get up! Today we have Laba sweet porridge! I woke up suddenly to the cry, sweet! Therefore, the sweet source of Laba Festival is always filled with my memory. When you make Laba porridge at home, you can use more or less raw materials and mix it with a variety of grains. Peanuts and black beans are nutritious enough, so there is no need to pay too much attention to it. I dug out everything that could be used to make porridge at home and added it all, and put them all to use. The finer the pieces, the more peace they have.

The syrup I made myself was a little too hot. But it doesn't affect the taste. Self-deprecation is like cocoa mooncakes. The dough is very soft after the oil returns.

Momoyama Purple Sweet Potato Milky Cherry Mooncake
I tried Momoyama mooncakes for the first time last year, but I was still excited about the Mid-Autumn Festival and slipped away. This Mid-Autumn Festival, no matter what, we cannot act hastily. After carefully studying and pondering Mr. Shi Shang's cranberry mooncake, I used the materials on hand and slightly modified it to create this purple cherry-filled mooncake. However, the filling made of a large amount of milk powder and butter really makes people worried - with so much butter and milk powder has no supporting force, won't this mooncake bake? At the moment when the fillings were being made, the doubt about the baking power suddenly came to an answer - the 0 degrees of the low heat was not an input error or confusion, but a necessity. Bake it over high and low heat, and the mooncake will definitely collapse.

Amaranth juice glutinous rice dumplings
During the Dragon Boat Festival, I bought a lot of rice dumpling leaves. I originally planned to make a lot of rice dumplings, but because I was not skilled in making rice dumplings, my wrapping speed was too slow. I only wrapped half of a pound of glutinous rice and gave up, leaving the remaining rice dumpling leaves. Now I want to use it up as soon as possible, and I also had a sudden idea: soaking rice in amaranth juice to make rice dumplings. Although it did not achieve the expected effect, my skills and speed in making rice dumplings have improved a lot, and I still feel a sense of accomplishment.

Golden Oyster Zongzi Emperor
This rice dumpling uses naturally sun-dried golden oysters. During the drying process, the golden oysters fully absorb the essence of the sun. The oyster meat tightly locks the oil and becomes a strong and elastic dried oyster meat. The delicious taste is concentrated in the dried oysters. Choose large and high-quality golden oysters, use them to make rice dumplings, add local pork, and selected high-quality glutinous rice. This is the most luxurious rice dumpling in my family this year, so I call it the Emperor of Rice Dumplings. The golden oysters are cooked to perfection During the process, shreds of oyster sauce penetrate into the glutinous rice, and its umami and meaty aroma blend with the sticky rice, enhancing the taste of all ingredients and releasing the complex aroma, making this rice dumpling extremely delicious. When you open the rice dumplings and take a bite, the glutinous and slippery flavor will spread in your mouth. The fragrance of the rice dumplings, the salty aroma of fresh meat, and the sweet aroma of golden oysters will spread on the tip of your tongue in a layered manner. When you enjoy the deliciousness of this rice dumpling, you will agree that this rice dumpling king is worthy of his name. Haha, no more words, let’s serve the rice dumplings

Purple rice lotus seed rice dumpling
The Dragon Boat Festival is coming soon, I wish everyone a happy Dragon Boat Festival! Speaking of rice dumplings, many people think that glutinous rice is difficult to digest. If you eat too much at one time, your stomach will be bloated and uncomfortable, so you can add some grains or other grains to it. In the north, more rice is added, which is rhubarb rice, that is, broomcorn millet, which is unhulled millet and is glutinous than millet. It’s much bigger. What I always like to eat in the south is blood glutinous rice, also called purple-red glutinous rice. The outer skin is purple-red, which is a little glutinous than black rice, but it still has a hard outer shell. It is this full outer shell that is rich in dietary fiber and helps digestion~ Moreover, it is said that blood glutinous rice can also beautify the skin. Blood glutinous rice milk tea and blood glutinous rice ice cream were once popular in the streets and alleys of Shanghai! I added soaked lotus seeds into it, and it was really a complete health-preserving style~

Fantasy Snowskin Mooncake
Crystal clear ice skin, colorful styles, sweet and refreshing jam filling, cold and soft texture. When you mention snowskin mooncakes, you may think of the above adjectives. It completely breaks the standard of traditional mooncakes. It has no greasy texture and a lot of syrup. The skin made of cooked glutinous rice flour is sweet and refreshing. The cold taste may even give people the illusion of eating ice cream. This is completely due to the fact that snowskin mooncakes do not need to be baked and can be chilled in the refrigerator. Those colorful dreamy effects are actually made from purple sweet potato powder, fruit and vegetable powder, matcha powder and other raw materials. Today, when various food safety issues have become hidden dangers, pure natural snowskin mooncakes with no pigments and no additives are really not to be missed. This Mid-Autumn Festival, take a dream journey among the colorful snowskin mooncakes!

It is a common festival for Chinese people all over the country and even the world. People pay as much attention to it as the Spring Festival. The Mid-Autumn Festival has a full moon and family gatherings. Moon cakes are of course indispensable. Although people nowadays pay attention to health and rarely eat desserts, in such a major festival, to take advantage of the occasion and seek good luck, you should eat some even if you eat less. Today, I am happy to use ready-made cantaloupe fillings, which saves effort and time. Although it is not as delicious as the fillings made by myself, it is still delicious compared with the bought ones.

Mid-Autumn Mooncake Filling-Red Bean Filling
On a whim, I soaked the red beans and made some red bean filling. Maybe it was because I used a wall-breaking machine. The bean paste was beaten very finely and I was very satisfied with the finished product. Thinking about it, this year's Mid-Autumn Mooncakes will definitely taste better than last year's! Of course, red bean filling can not only be used to make mooncakes, but can also be used to make lasagna or bread! The current weather in Liuzhou is on average 27 degrees to 35 degrees, so staying in the kitchen means baking on the stove, so I handed over the arduous task of frying bean paste to the bread machine and used the jam function of the bread machine to complete it! Although it will take a little longer, you don’t have to stand by the stove in the hot summer, and you can also be distracted and do other things. Those who have a bread machine can also try making it. If you don’t have a bread machine, just fry it yourself!

Enjoy Laba in a Simple Way—Qibao Five-flavor Porridge
Today, during the Laba Festival, I will make a simple recipe called "Qibao Five Flavors Porridge". When I first heard the name, I must have thought it would be easy to make! Haha, a simple dish of porridge, with a name and this trick! To attract attention? Snickering, I actually searched for some allusions about Laba porridge on Baidu, and then I found out that Laba porridge is also called Qibao and Five-flavor porridge. Laba porridge is a kind of porridge made from a variety of ingredients during the Laba Festival. It is also called Qibao and five-flavor porridge. Eating Laba porridge to celebrate the harvest has been passed down to this day. The earliest Laba porridge was cooked with red beans. Later, it evolved and became more colorful with local characteristics. Ming'er understands! Listen to the story below! When I was little, I loved listening to my grandma telling stories, and I also heard her telling stories about the origin of Laba porridge. The almighty Du Niang found this story that reminds us to be diligent and thrifty in housekeeping. It is the same as what grandma told. In the early years, there was a family of four, an old couple and two sons. The old couple are very hard-working and work on the crops all year round. Plowing in the spring, hoeing in the summer and harvesting in the autumn, we work diligently towards our days. The various grains stored at home are full in large quantities and small in quantity. There was also a jujube tree in their yard. The old couple cultivated it carefully. The jujubes they produced were crisp and sweet. They sold them at the market and made a lot of money. They lived a very wealthy life. The old couple worked hard to find wives for their two sons. Seeing that the son was reaching the age to marry a wife day by day, and the old couple were getting old, the old father asked the two brothers to plant crops well before his death; the old mother asked the two brothers to take good care of the jujube trees in the yard and save money to save food for marrying a wife. In a family of four, only the two brothers are left to live. When the elder brother saw the food in the big hoard and the small hoard, he said to his younger brother: We have so much food, that’s enough. Let’s take a break this year! The younger brother said: The jujube tree is not in need this year. Anyway, we are not short of jujubes. In this way, the two brothers became more and more lazy and greedy. Just knowing that we eat, drink and have fun year after year, we have used up all the food in a few years. As for the jujube trees in the yard, the dates they bear are not as good as each year. It was the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month this year, and there was really nothing to eat at home. What should we do? The elder brother found a small broom, and the younger brother brought a small dustpan, and swept through the gaps between the large and small storage areas where grains were previously stored. A handful of yellow rice grains were swept from here, and a handful of red beans were found from there. In this way, a few handfuls of grains and grains were collected, not much, but a lot of samples. Finally, a few dried red dates were found and cooked together in a pot. After it was cooked, the two brothers ate the porridge made from all kinds of grains. Their eyes looked at each other, and then they remembered what their parents said before they died, and they regretted it extremely. The two brothers tasted the pain of laziness and turned around, and became diligent the next year. Like their parents, they lived a good life in a few years, married a wife, and had children. In order to remember the lesson of laziness and remind people not to forget to live diligently and frugally, from then on, on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, people would eat porridge mixed with whole grains. Because this day fell on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, people called it Laba porridge.

There is reunion in heaven and earth---Papaya, sweet-scented osmanthus glutinous rice balls
Eating glutinous rice balls is an important custom during the Lantern Festival. Tangyuan, also known as Tangyuan and Yuanxiao. The custom of eating glutinous rice balls began in the Song Dynasty. At that time, the glutinous rice balls were called Fuyuanzi, also known as glutinous rice balls, lactose dumplings, glutinous rice balls, and glutinous rice balls. Businessmen nicknamed them: Yuanbao. During the Song, Yuan and early Yuan Dynasties, glutinous rice balls had become a festival food during the Lantern Festival, so people also called them Yuanxiao. Nowadays, it is called Yuanxiao in the north and Tangyuan in the south. According to the filling theory, Yuanxiao can be divided into two types: stuffed and non-stuffing. Filled Yuanxiao can be divided into salty, sweet, meat, and vegetarian. According to the production method, there are hand-rolled, Yuanxiao mechanism, and bamboo plaque rolling. Today, I will make a simple small dumpling without stuffing and pair it with papaya. It tastes very refreshing and not greasy. It has the gentleness of papaya and the fragrance of osmanthus. It is very delicious and is especially suitable for post-holiday adjustment and soothing gastrointestinal function.

It seems that rice dumplings, whether salty or sweet, are a big cake with market opportunities~ I have been planning to make rice dumplings with this flavor, but I don’t know if they taste good or not. After I made them, I brought them to the office and they were all divided immediately. It seems that everyone likes them~ In fact, I think the highlight is the chickpeas. Half of the bacon is paired with mashed potatoes or sweet corn, so when I posted the photo, no one guessed that it was actually chickpeas. Chickpeas are a relatively Western-style ingredient. I first tasted them in Xinjiang pilaf, and I was hooked immediately. It contains more starch than soybeans, so it tastes very soft and waxy, a bit like yellow peas, but not as crispy as yellow peas. Not only that, it is said to contain high nutritional value and is a natural and healthy ingredient!

Fruity crystal rice dumplings
The Dragon Boat Festival is coming again, and those who like to eat rice dumplings have long been unable to resist the temptation of the scent of reed leaves and are eager to try it. When we think of Zongzi, we think of glutinous rice. Today Guozi will show you how to use another ingredient to make rice dumplings, which is sago. I read several ways to wrap crystal rice dumplings on the Internet, and tried it three times myself. Various problems arose in the first two times according to the recipe. For example, the sago was still not cooked even after twice the time. Another example was that I used my own method of wrapping glutinous rice dumplings without interspersing threads, which caused all the sago to overflow after the rice dumplings were cooked. After two failures, I summarized and improved it and made it a third time. Finally, it was completed. However, my photography skills are limited and I cannot capture the crystal clear feel of the crystal rice dumplings, but the rice dumplings are indeed very beautiful. When referring to this recipe, please be sure to read the entire process before making it.

Mochi Red Bean Paste Mooncake
This is the first time I have made Cantonese-style mooncakes. I actually don’t like eating mooncakes because they taste very sweet and greasy. But after making them yesterday, I couldn’t wait to eat one, and I realized that the mooncakes I made are completely different from those outside. When I took the first bite, I wanted to take a second bite. I didn’t want to stop and eat one moon cake and wanted to have a second moon cake. The red bean filling is wrapped with [mochi]. The improved filling is very special. In the past, when I ate mochi, it was delicious when wrapped in crushed peanuts. So I thought of incorporating mochi into Cantonese-style mooncakes. The improved bean paste filling tastes very good and has a chewy texture. When I was making it, I wondered if the mochi would be hard when I ate it the next day, but I ate one immediately after the oil returned. . . The texture is as chewy and tender as freshly made mochi. . When you break the mooncake apart with your hands, the mochi looks like "drawn" mozzarella cheese. The first mooncake I made was a success. I thought it would be difficult to make when I first made it, but it is actually very simple to make. .

Pine Nut Corn Mooncake
Initially, I met a pastry chef and he gave me several classic mooncake recipes, such as Cantonese-style five kernels, bean paste, etc. Thanks to the teacher's guidance, I can still make mooncakes at home. Haha, just to brag. I make a lot of mooncakes by myself every year and give them to my relatives and friends. They are very popular. This year, because I have a baby at home, I don’t have much time, so I have only started making mooncakes now. Today's mooncake filling was developed by me based on my many years of experience in making mooncake fillings. I applied classic dishes to mooncakes. After 3 improvements, I finally finalized this recipe. Our whole family agreed that it was delicious, so I shared it with you as soon as the recipe was finalized. Friends who like it, please add a new recipe to your mooncakes. The pine nuts from the mountains and forests are the highlight of this mooncake. When you chew the pine nuts, the sweet and fragrant texture will give you a refreshing feeling.

【Purple Sweet Potato Snowskin Mooncake】---Zero-failure mooncake
During the Mid-Autumn Festival this year, I made Cantonese-style mooncakes four times, and there were about a hundred of them. Although I made so many, there were not many left at home. So later I made some ice-skin ones, filled with my favorite purple sweet potato filling and lotus paste filling. Snowskin mooncakes are not only easy to make, but also have less oil and sugar, so it doesn’t matter if you eat a few more. There are different ways to make snowskin mooncakes. You can fry the flour first and then knead it into a ball. You can also mix various raw flours first and steam them before making them. Compared with the two flavors, I prefer steaming the flour before making them.

I have never dared to try making Cantonese-style mooncakes for fear of failure, so I bought a mold last year and used only the mold to make snow-skin mooncakes. I finally tried it two days ago, and I didn't expect it to succeed the first time. If you don’t try many things, you will always find them difficult. Follow the steps step by step and it’s really not difficult. Invert syrup and water are all purchased online. If you don’t make them yourself, I will try to cook the invert syrup myself in the future. That will be the real DAY. I fried the bean paste filling myself. It’s granular. I don’t like bean paste that is too thin. It’s very dry. There’s not a lot of sugar. What you eat is healthy!

Eight Treasure Zongzi
My family doesn’t like meat dumplings because they feel too greasy. The combination of various beans is nutritious, light and delicious, and does not have the satiety of pure glutinous rice dumplings. I personally prefer the unique fragrance of Thai fragrant glutinous rice, so I didn’t use the round glutinous rice I’m used to. The result is indeed more fragrant than the takeout, as evidenced by the fact that my son can’t stop eating it. Parents especially love it. This is a green food that is far away from the three highs! Because of the presence of red dates, people who are intolerant to the taste can eat it directly. People who like it sweeter can eat it dipped in sugar.

A new way to eat persimmons: Ice-skin persimmon cake
I used to crave persimmons when there were no persimmons at home. When the persimmons were on the market, I would buy some and take them home from time to time. When I went back to my hometown during the National Day this year, it happened to be a good time for the persimmon harvest. Before I left, my mother-in-law asked me to take away all the rest, but they didn’t have anyone to eat at home. I said I would only take a little to try, but my parents-in-law insisted on bringing more, and finally filled a carton and brought it back. After getting it back, I gave some to my friends and put the rest on the balcony. Except for me, the children and their father didn't eat it. And you can't eat too much of it at one time. Eating it on an empty stomach is not good for your health. Seeing that those persimmons are slowly being wasted, I can only think of ways to help solve some problems. One morning I used persimmons and flour to make a cake. Later I tried this method to make a small dessert and found that it tasted pretty good too.

Cantonese style white lotus mooncake
Lotus Seed Mooncake seems to be an unavoidable classic among mooncakes. When it comes to making mooncakes or giving mooncakes as gifts, it seems impossible to avoid it. In fact, I have long been tired of lotus seed mooncakes. I will eat them until I get tired of them, and then I will get tired of them. However, it seems to be a very strange feeling to make mooncakes without lotus paste filling. What's more, its audience is so broad. Just do it for another year. About the mooncake mold. In previous years, I used spring-loaded plastic molds. This year I plan to take a retro route and turn out the three-piece wooden mold and use it. In previous years, I thought the mooncakes made from it were a bit big, but later I discovered that they are actually not that big. The weight of the filled mooncakes does not exceed 50 grams, with an average of 40-45 grams, which is within the acceptable range. So, it doesn't have to sit idle anymore. Use a wooden mold to make mooncakes, knock it left and right, and pull out the cake dough. It has a unique sense of tradition. No wonder making mooncakes was called "making mooncakes" at that time. The mooncakes cut out of the wooden mold are cone-shaped, small at the top and large at the bottom. The surface is not as smooth as those made from plastic molds, but it feels like the mooncakes I ate when I was a child. But, at that time, there seemed to be no lotus paste filling, right? The classic at that time seemed to be bean paste. . .

I thought making my own stuffing would be healthier and without any additives. It would be fine whether I make bread or mooncakes, and I would eat it by myself. I have shared the recipe of red bean paste before. After I made it, I realized that the mooncake skin I made with stuffing will return to oil very quickly. I made it at night and the next morning the skin was a bit soft, so it was just right for dinner in the morning. My husband said it was delicious. My kids like to eat coconut stuffing, so I made two kinds of stuffing. It was fine on the third day, but it became very sticky on the fourth day, so it is better to buy stuffing for gifting.

Matcha filling snowskin mooncake
If you fall in love with matcha, there is no question. The highlight of our snowskin mooncakes is matcha. The difference this time is that matcha is added to the filling. These mooncakes were also made a few days ago, so I kept a few and packed the rest to give away. I always feel that no matter how much I make, I am not getting enough points. I have been working very hard to make mooncakes these days, but the strength of one person is too weak. The mooncakes produced are always a drop in the bucket. One person gives away more than ten or twenty mooncakes, and they are gone soon. Besides, I don’t have that much energy to make mooncakes. There are too many fillings and the wok is small. The finished product only has 500-700 grams of fillings. It takes at least an hour or two to make the moon cake fillings, cook them and fry them. After wrapping a plate of moon cakes, the fillings will be gone soon. Sweat! It’s not a good thing to know how to make mooncakes. Friends who are familiar with them but not familiar with them will take the initiative to ask for mooncakes. I give them or don’t give them. It’s not that I’m stingy and reluctant to give. It’s just that it’s really difficult for one person to give them all. Some friends who haven’t chatted once in a year asked me on QQ as soon as the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching. Or friends or classmates who are far away ask me to send them mooncakes, and they are all classmates and friends who rarely contact me. There are so many people asking about mooncakes. Even if I make them all night long, it won’t be enough, right? It’s so difficult! What to do? I have a child to take care of, so I really don’t have that much free time to fry stuffings and make mooncakes and deliver them everywhere! Dear friends, please forgive me! It’s really not that I don’t want to give, it’s just that I’m really embarrassed. It is said that it will save a lot of trouble if you buy ready-made fillings, but there is no difference between the mooncakes made from the bought fillings and those on the market. Then you might as well just buy the mooncakes on the market and eat them. Why are you making them? The most important thing when giving a gift to relatives and friends is the sincerity. If you put your heart into it, people will feel it is more precious. Therefore, I have been making every mooncake with great care, and I also hope to give my loving mooncakes to every relative and friend I cherish, instead of buying ready-made fillings to fool you. Even if I have to buy fillings, I will buy them from a brand, and I will not pick out cheap ones. My principle is, either don’t give them away, or give them good ones.

Red bean and candied dates rice dumplings
Eating rice dumplings during the Dragon Boat Festival is a traditional custom of the Chinese people. Zongzi is also called horn millet and tube rice dumpling. It has a long history and has many variations. In the Jin Dynasty, zongzi was officially designated as a Dragon Boat Festival food. There are also many shapes of zongzi, generally including equilateral triangle, equirectangular, pointed triangle, square, rectangular and other shapes. In my memory, the most traditional thing in our hometown is the triangular rice dumplings, which are wrapped in big balls, made of two layers of fresh reed leaves, and cooked slowly in a large iron pot. They are cooked the night before the Dragon Boat Festival, usually for 3-4 hours, and then soaked until the Dragon Boat Festival the next morning to eat. . . . . . Because zongzi is made of glutinous rice and is not easy to digest, when eating zongzi, you can drink some tea or sugar water to help digestion. Last year, my mother and I just learned a new method of processing rice dumpling leaves. No need to cook them. Just freeze the fresh rice dumpling leaves in the refrigerator overnight, then take them out and defrost them. The leaves will become soft and easy to use. Please learn it. . .

This rose cake does not use roses as the raw material. The actual material used is purple sweet potato. In our area, purple sweet potato is basically used to make sugar water, roasted or boiled.

Today, let’s eat purple sweet potato in a different way, with sweet and sour taste. According to records, one purple sweet potato (about 2 pounds) can provide twice the amount of vitamin A required by the human body every day, and the dietary fiber content is higher than that of a bowl of oatmeal. Purple sweet potato is also rich in cellulose, which can promote gastrointestinal motility, clean up the rotten matter retained in the intestinal cavity, discharge toxic substances and carcinogens, keep the stool smooth, improve the digestive tract environment, and prevent the occurrence of gastrointestinal diseases.

Matcha Red Bean Paste Snowskin Mooncake
These are the snowskin mooncakes I made a few days ago. They were all wiped out a long time ago. I only ate one. Now I get a headache when I talk about mooncakes, and I don’t have the passion I had in the past two years. Just frying the stuffing will cost you half your life. It saves a lot of trouble to buy ready-made stuffing, but the taste will be greatly reduced. The fun of DIY lies in the tossing. Dear friends, you can make mooncakes without an oven! The snow-skin mooncakes sold outside are ridiculously expensive and contain a lot of additives, which makes them uneasy to eat. Moreover, the fillings are too sweet and greasy. You can control the amount of sugar and oil by frying the fillings yourself. I finally bought a good matcha powder! The ones I bought before were all earthy in color, neither yellow nor green, which made me sad every time I used it. I could only drool looking at the green matcha color. As a result, I didn't dare to touch this thing for a long time. I bought 50G last time and it was useless until it expired. It had already been in the trash can. Baby Lu saw that these beautiful mooncakes were extremely rare, so she rushed over very quickly and grabbed one. I admit that I can never move as fast as him. Before I could react, she had already taken a bite, and then spat it out on the ground and said, "What a pain!" It’s hard! I said: If it’s bitter, don’t eat it, okay? You can eat something that’s not bitter, and give this one to mom. He refused to do it and tried his best to protect me from eating it. Then bite it and spit it out, and the mooncake is just wasted. After it was over, he cried loudly: Eat! Still want to eat! Sweat! In fact, adults don’t feel bitter after eating it, haha! When matcha meets red beans, there will definitely be a spark of love. Looking at this touch of green and smelling the light tea fragrance of matcha, I feel very comfortable and satisfied. In fact, I also fry the red bean filling myself. I will upload the filling recipe next time! I didn't mess around too much and fried four kinds of fillings!

[Laba Porridge] Cook the fragrant porridge. This kind of multigrain porridge is cooked on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month. It has been done since ancient times. I won’t tell you the origin, it’s a sacrifice, worship to gods, celebration or something else. There is no way to verify the original method, and the interpretation will be different in each household, but the need to eat this special meal on this day has never changed. Country people have the simple wishes of country people, that is, they hope that their families will be healthy, their crops will be abundant, and their livestock will be prosperous. Therefore, not only the whole family must eat Laba rice porridge, but also the trees in the yard, the livestock and the crops in the field must taste Laba rice porridge. When we were young, we didn’t get everything we wanted like we do now. On Laba day, my mother usually used corn grits and noodles and some kind of beans to make a weird salty rice called Laba rice. I can still vaguely remember the taste of this kind of rice. I will go back and ask my mother for the specific recipe and copy it once. Today's Laba porridge uses eight kinds of ingredients, which are very casually matched. If these foods happen to be available, they are used.

The pattern is not very clear, but the taste is very good. After checking, the main reason may be that the water in the mooncake skin is measured (1-3 ratio of edible alkali and water). I may have put too much water. I will continue to improve next time. It is all based on feeling. There is no scale, so there is no weighing, so it is not perfect.

Although the Dragon Boat Festival has passed for several days. But I still wrote a recipe for this rice dumpling to share. Just because this year's rice dumplings are made by myself, they are really ugly. So I looked for opportunities to practice my skills again. Today’s rice dumplings do not use reed leaves or bamboo leaves. When I went to the countryside to pick vegetables, I saw corn on the ground with wide green leaves. I thought, could it be used to make rice dumplings? So I folded a lot of corn leaves, and after cleaning them, I was able to make green rice dumplings. And the cooked rice dumplings still have the fragrance of corn leaves.

Dragon Boat Festival Zongzi is a traditional Chinese custom and a unique seasonal food in China. However, sweet rice dumplings are rich in sugar and calories, while salty rice dumplings are rich in oil and fat, making people stay away from them.

French mooncakes filled with cheese and dried fruits [Mooncakes filled with cheese and dried fruits]
[French Mooncakes] Does it sound like the French also make ‘mooncakes’? Do they also celebrate the Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival? In fact, French mooncakes are made of French cake body and imitating Chinese mooncake fillings injected into the cake body, so they are called French mooncakes. The mooncakes look like cakes on the outside, but they have a different flavor when you eat them. The production process and tools are still more than traditional mooncakes. Although the production process is long, the texture when you eat it is worth the time. The skin of freshly baked French mooncakes is actually the same as Cantonese mooncakes, that is, it is 'hard'; it takes a day of 'oil recovery' before the skin becomes soft and shiny. Therefore, it combines the structure of French and traditional mooncakes. There are several different flavors in this mooncake, including cheese and chocolate. The picture above is a French mooncake with cheese and chocolate flavor. It is surrounded by cream cheese and has a very smooth texture. This year's Mid-Autumn Festival is the Mid-Autumn Festival where I have eaten the most mooncakes in so many years. Maybe I feel free to eat them because I made them myself.

Brown sugar bean paste mooncake filling
Generally, white sugar is used to make fillings, but brown sugar has higher nutritional content than white sugar, so I chose brown sugar to make this red bean paste filling. Brown sugar usually refers to finished sugar cane with honey. It generally refers to the honey-containing sugar formed by squeezing sugar cane juice, simple processing, and concentration. Brown sugar water was the most common and practical brown sugar health drink in the early days. Brown sugar water is also helpful for women to have smooth menstruation. It can warm the body, increase energy, activate qi and blood, speed up blood circulation, and make menstruation smoother. If you feel low energy and poor complexion after menstruation, you can drink a cup of brown sugar water with a concentration of about 20% before lunch every day. If the symptoms of discomfort are severe, you can drink another cup before dinner, and it can be effectively improved after one week. The glucose contained in brown sugar releases energy quickly and has high absorption and utilization rate, which can quickly replenish physical strength. Children with problems such as insufficient Qi, loss of appetite, and malnutrition can drink brown sugar water in moderation on weekdays. People who suffer from abdominal pain due to cold and are prone to colds during menstruation can also use brown sugar ginger soup to dispel cold. For the elderly and frail, especially those who have just recovered from a serious illness, brown sugar also has an excellent tonic effect in curing deficiency. For the elderly, eating some brown sugar in moderation can also dissipate blood stasis and activate blood circulation, promote bowel movement, relieve liver disease and improve eyesight.

Unfortunately, most people think that eating sweet potatoes will make people fat and dare not eat them. In fact, on the contrary, sweet potato is an ideal weight-loss food.

lazy rice dumpling
Every time when I was drying the rice dumplings, I also heard the voices of other people. They said that they really wanted to make rice dumplings, but they were clumsy and couldn't make them. So I was thinking, can I design a rice dumpling that is easy to make and can taste the aroma of rice dumplings? After experiments, Guozi made this semi-naked lazy rice dumpling. Those who know how to make rice dumplings can also try this flavor once. I feel that the taste of half-naked rice dumplings is completely different from traditional rice dumplings. Traditional rice dumplings are completely wrapped and can be very glutinous when boiled in water. Half-naked rice dumplings are steamed, so they taste much less glutinous. Because they are half-naked, the rice on the surface will easily harden when exposed to air for a while after being taken out of the pot. It is recommended to make a small amount each time, as long as it is enough to eat, and it is best to eat it while it is hot. However, they all have the fragrance of reed leaves. If there are too many wraps and you haven’t finished eating them, wrap them in plastic wrap and steam them again before eating, which will make them more delicious! Here, Guozi also teaches you a lazier method, which is to put the washed glutinous rice into the pot while cooking, then cut the washed reed leaves into several large pieces, insert more into the rice, and add an appropriate amount of water. After cooking, the house will be filled with the fragrant smell of reed leaves, and you can easily taste the flavor inside the rice dumplings, but this is no longer called a rice dumpling.

Time flies so fast, and before I know it, this year has come to an end. After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, this year can be considered over. . . On the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month, glutinous rice balls are eaten in the south, while Yuanxiao is eaten in the north. The food is similar, but the taste is very different. As for me, although I am an out-and-out northerner, I haven’t liked eating Yuanxiao since I was a child. I don’t like the taste. Later, when the southern glutinous rice balls spread to the north, I gave up the dumplings and went straight to the embrace of glutinous rice balls~~ I also made glutinous rice dumplings last year, but they cracked after being frozen. This year, I changed the method and they didn’t crack again no matter how I froze them~ Moreover, the glutinous rice dumplings are made with the recently popular healthy ingredient purple sweet potato, which is delicious, but we also need to be healthy~~ Ingredients: Skin: 200g glutinous rice flour, 50g purple sweet potato puree, 170g hot water Filling: 75g chocolate chips, 25g butter

Pickled mustard and fresh meat mooncakes
Just because when I was visiting Hangzhou, I passed by a food store. The freshly baked mooncakes were so fragrant that I immediately bought them and tasted them. After tasting them, I decided to do my own research.

Zongzi Love Dragon Boat Festival-----[Candied Dates and Ox Horn Zongzi]
The last batch of rice dumplings for the Dragon Boat Festival is finally finished! I originally planned to make some yellow rice dumplings and sago crystal rice dumplings, but the storage capacity of the refrigerator is limited. I will make them after I finish eating them. I left two handfuls of rice dumpling leaves so that when I want to eat them, I can make rice dumplings and eat them even if it is not the Dragon Boat Festival. In the past few days, I have made four kinds of rice dumplings, two sweet and two salty, which satisfy the stomachs of the two foodies in the family. For me, my favorite is the clear water rice dumpling. It does not contain any ingredients and is just made with glutinous rice. I love eating it. I gave some to my friends and kept the remaining ones in the freezer. Whenever I want to eat them, I can take them out and steam them before eating. Zongzi are delicious, but don’t eat too much, as eating too much will hurt your stomach.
