anyhow, this is how you make mooncakes according to Chef Gan's (of Resort World Genting) own not-so-"secret"-anymore recipe *wink*
These are what you need:
750g of flour
600g of sugar syrup
150g of oil
a little bit of alkaline water
-makes about 50 mooncake skins-
(may be mistakes as i commited these to my flaky memory, i would highly recommend that you go with the flow and stop when you feel is enough Xp)
 |
| wide array of ingredients and tools |
 |
| firstly, pour the sugar into the flour |
 |
| looks like a huge egg =D |
 |
| next, dig a hole in the middle of the "egg" and add in the oil |
 |
| mix! |
 |
| Add in the water and mix until it is a little bit sticky but soft |
 |
| leave it overnight and basically this is what you get |
 |
| flattening the dough into a perfectly round shape |
 |
| adding the lotus paste filling into the skin! it's larger than the skin itself so stretch it abit to wrap it around into a ball |
 |
| the traditional mould! authentically cute right? okay *ahem* anyways you dust it lightly with some flour (this is to ensure that your mooncake comes out easily) |
 |
| pop the yet-to-be mooncake dough in |
 |
| and voila! an awesome mooncake pops out (the technique is to hit the mould left and right once or twice first then BAM the mooncake out) |
Below are the pictures of Mokky, me, and Yen Ling separately crafting our own mooncakes, everybody was so eager to show that theirs will be the "bestest" or "beautifullest"....
 |
| the magical moment when Mokky's popped out Xp |
 |
| stuff it in! stuff it ALL in! |
 |
| i'll huff and i'll puff and a perfect ball will form |
 |
| of course, i won! mine was the perfect-est =DDD |
Stole some Instagram pictures (yea yea yea i'm a plagiarizer):
 |
| before they go into the oven (everyone added some "originality" to the mooncakesto mark theirs) |
 |
| mine! |
CHEERS!
p.s find me if there's any problem with the recipe! =)
