Mom's Mooncake

Mom made Snow Skin (Ping Pei) Mooncakes today.. she's trying out something different other than western bakes. Something Asian..oooo. Ping Pei Mooncakes are easier to make though it takes quite a bit of time to mix, knead, wrap and mould them. Since they require no baking, they're best serve chilled.

This is the Ping Pei dough



Mom mixing kuaci (sunflower seeds) into the lotus paste



Mom have to weigh the lotus seed paste to get the exact amount for each mooncake



Kneading the dough



Adding lotus seed paste to the dough and mould it into shape



There's Dad being a buzzing bee whilst trying to annoy mom and making silly statements for eg.
*where's lunch? where's lunch? when it's only 12.30pm
*no need to make so nice after all it goes in and out
*can eat already?
*am i having mooncake for lunch?



A few done and powdered



One perfect Ping Pei Mooncake with gold fish design



Ready to be chilled.... or eat or....



....boxed!!!

psst** tomorrow mom is attempting to make the traditional crust mooncake.. so stay tuned!!!
