Crystal mooncake

Overview

The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon again, but I have always disliked eating mooncakes. I feel that they are really not to my taste. A few days ago, I saw someone else’s recipe that was made from sago, but I spent two days at home without success, and I felt depressed. My husband told me that I always make weird things, which is wasteful. I was wasting materials, but I didn’t feel more angry. I thought I still had some agar-agar at home. I thought I’d seen others making mooncakes with agar-agar, so I thought I’d try it myself. Unexpectedly, it worked, but the agar-agar tastes a little harder and doesn’t have the QQ feeling of sago. However, our baby still likes to eat it, and I feel happy.

Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 All materials

   

2. 2 Steam the purple sweet potato and pumpkin in a pressure cooker for about 8 to 10 minutes

   

3. 3 Steam and sieve the purple sweet potatoes. If you like it sweet, you can add some sugar. If it's a little dry, just add some water or milk and stir evenly. Don't add too much water or milk, otherwise it won't form a ball.

   

4. 4 Because the pumpkin is too watery, after it is steamed, it needs to be fried in a non-stick pan to dry out the water. If you have cornstarch or cornstarch at home, you can thicken it, which will dry it out a little and make it easier to shape

   

5. 5 Soak the agar in cold water one hour in advance. Add 500 grams of water, 10 grams of agar, 40 grams of sugar, and 5 grams of dried osmanthus. Put it in a small pot and boil over low heat until the agar melts. It takes about 15 to 20 minutes. Stir constantly and be careful to make a paste (the method of making milk is the same as that of water, but there is no dried osmanthus, so I won’t go into details)

   

6. 6 Pour the boiled agar-agar water into the mold, only about one-third of it is enough, and put it in the refrigerator to cool quickly

   

7. 7 Wait for the surface of the agar liquid to solidify, add purple potato puree and pumpkin puree (I am in a hurry today, so the fried pumpkin puree is still a bit thin), then pour in the agar liquid and it is ready

   

8. 8 Put all the prepared crystal mooncakes in the refrigerator, which will taste better. Be sure to wait until the agar-agar liquid has completely solidified before demoulding
