Mooncake filling: white bean paste filling

Overview

It's the Mid-Autumn Festival again, and I'm busy frying mooncake fillings again. Today's mooncake filling still uses platinum beans, a specialty of Yushan, Jiangxi. If you want to make white bean paste, you can also use large white kidney beans from the supermarket. Use a pressure cooker to cook it, then use a food processor to puree the beans, and then fry them in a pan. However, it is really physical work, so you must be mentally prepared! If you only put sugar in the bean filling, it will still be too dry, so you need to put some vegetable oil. Soybean oil, corn oil, or sunflower oil are all good. Peanut oil is not recommended because it will have a strong peanut flavor, and olive oil is not recommended because exceeding 80 degrees will destroy its nutrition. I used Jiusan sunflower seed oil, and the bean paste fried was very moist and had no peculiar smell.

Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Pick out the impurities and bad beans from the dried platinum beans, wash them twice, and then soak them

   

2. 2 After the beans are completely soaked, wash them twice with clean water

   

3. 3 Put it into the pressure cooker pot and select the rice cooking setting

   

4. 4 When the beans are cooked, you can let them cool and then take them out. If you don’t like the strong beany smell, you can pour them out and wash them twice with water

   

5. 5 Take an appropriate amount of beans, add two bowls of water, put them into the cup of the broken wall food processor, and start the soup program

   

6. 6 The beans are beaten into fine bean paste

   

7. 7 Pour the mashed beans into a non-stick wok, bring to a boil over medium-low heat, and stir constantly with a spatula to prevent sticking

   

8. 8 Add 100 grams of Jiusan non-GMO sunflower seed oil and stir slowly until the oil is completely mixed into the bean paste

   

9. 9 When a lot of the water in the bean paste has evaporated and becomes a little sticky, add 300 grams of white sugar and continue frying

   

10. 10 When the bean paste turns into bean paste, use a shovel to pick it up until it forms a complete lump, and it is ready

    

11. 11 Look, it’s still very delicate and moisturizing

    

12. 12 Because of the shape of the mooncake mold used, a layer of oil was applied in the mold to facilitate demoulding, so the finished product is slightly yellowish, but it does not affect the taste at all
