LOTUS SEED PASTE RECIPE RECIPES

Steps:

• Pre-soak the dried lotus seeds for 6-8 hours and remove the cores if there is any.
• Transfer the soaked lotus seeds to a stewing pot, add water to cover and stew for around 1 to 2 hours until soft. Or place in high pressure cooker and cook a rice procedure.
• Transfer to blender and blend with 1/3 cup of water until really smooth. (Do not add too much water in this step, otherwise you will need quite long stir frying time in next step.)
• Transfer the mixture to a non-sticky pan; add vegetable oil by three batches. Each time after adding the oil, stir the paste until all oil is well absorbed.
• Stir in salt, sugar and maltose. Continue stir until the water is almost evaporated and the mixture can form a sticky paste texture.
• Transfer out and cool down. If you plan to use it later, remember to cover with plastic wrapper to prevent drying out.

Steps:

• Invert syrup, liquid soap, peanut oil and mix well
• Pour in all-purpose flour
• Mix well into a dough
• Wrap with plastic wrap and relax for more than 2 hours at room temperature
• Take out the loose flour
• Using a 50g mold, divide the crust and filling according to the ratio of 3:7. 15 grams of leather. Weigh the stuffing ingredients. Round up and set aside
• The filling weighs 35g (including the weight of the egg yolk), and the egg yolk is wrapped in the weighed lotus seed paste. Pinch the skin flat in your hands. Put the fillings on, push the dough up carefully with a tiger's mouth, arrange it and close it so that there are no gaps, and round it.
• All the mooncakes are pressed and put into the baking tray. Preheat the oven at 200 degrees and bake at 200 degrees. Bake in the oven for 5 minutes, after the pattern is finalized, take out and brush with a thin layer of egg yolk water, then put it in the oven and bake for about 15 minutes
