Hi guys! Ok so, for me, as a child, and with every other child in Vietnam or Chinese, the Mid-Autumn Festival is not only a day to worship the moon but also a real children's festival. We are looking forward to the Mid-Autumn Festival in the ward where we live: the venue hall will be decorated with a series of lanterns with many shapes and colors, all the boys will wear an action figure mask. All girls will wear their favorite princess costumes and hats. There are always lion dance, and we all will eventually join the formation and march around the block, jumping to the beat of the drum and cymbals, under the bright light of the moon. And of course, what wonderful Mid-Autumn Festival children's party can be completed without moon cake?

All kinds of moon cakes have two ingredients: the shell and the filling, and the difference between grilled mooncake and snowy moon cake is, you guessed it, baked mooncake is baked into the crust and has a surface. in addition to golden brown, while the snow cover - the moon cake is made from glutinous rice flour.
Making moon cakes is an accurate science, so I recommend that you follow the instructions and try to understand each ingredient in the recipe here (according to chinasichuanfood).

Push the wrapper from bottom to top little by little until the whole ball is completely sealed. Shape it into a round ball firstly and then into an oval.Slightly dust your mooncake tool and press the rod and gently remove the cake from the tool.
