Cantonese traditional five-nut filling

Overview

It is said that olive kernels must be included in the fillings of traditional Cantonese five-nut mooncakes. In order to reduce costs, many small factories often use peanut kernels instead. However, there are no olive kernels here, and I have never seen them before. Even if I had seen them, I wouldn’t recognize them. Then the only option is to replace it with inferior quality and use peanut kernels. I was very confused about the use of a large amount of ice meat in this recipe, but despite my doubts, I still followed the original recipe. Just be careful when adding liquid ingredients, a small amount and many times to avoid pouring it all at once and causing the filling to be too soft. Sure enough, the amount of vegetable oil and water in the original recipe was useless, and only half of the wine was poured, so it could be formed into a ball. Just don’t use it.
