It became a festival in the Tang Dynasty when the merchants and nobles would throw grand parties for moon worship, and eventually the masses joined in too. Many years later, mooncakes were created and used as a medium of rebellion back in the Yuan Dynasty. The people hid secret messages in the mooncakes to rebel against the ruling Mongols!<\/p>\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theburningkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Tradition-Mooncake-Long-2.jpeg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-18031\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theburningkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Tradition-Mooncake-Long-2.jpeg\" alt=\"Traditional Mooncake \" width=\"1080\" height=\"1620\" data-pin-description=\"Celebrate Mooncake Festival this year with delicious mooncakes and hot Chinese tea accompanying your little ones with their lanterns and sparklers!\" srcset=\"https:\/\/theburningkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Tradition-Mooncake-Long-2.jpeg?v=1601446359 1080w, https:\/\/theburningkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Tradition-Mooncake-Long-2-200x300.jpeg?v=1601446359 200w, https:\/\/theburningkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Tradition-Mooncake-Long-2-453x680.jpeg?v=1601446359 453w, https:\/\/theburningkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Tradition-Mooncake-Long-2-768x1152.jpeg?v=1601446359 768w, https:\/\/theburningkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Tradition-Mooncake-Long-2-1024x1536.jpeg?v=1601446359 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><\/a><\/em>Mooncakes are now a must during the mid-autumn festivity, usually shared by friends and family over hot Chinese tea. Accompanying the bright moon, many children often carry their lanterns and play with sparklers. We get to enjoy the many variations of mooncakes, durian, champagne and even the teochew mixed nuts variation! I must say my favourite is still the traditional one with a full yolk in the center that represents the beautiful full moon.<\/p>\n<p>I am going to show you and the Pei Hwa community how to make the classic well loved Traditional Baked Mooncake all from scratch.

The imprints tend to be nicer and deeper which will produce more defined patterns.<\/li>\n<li>First and foremost, find out the volume of your mooncake mould. This will help you determine how much filling and pastry you require. Our mould can fit 180g, thus our proportions are 130g of filling with egg yolk with 50g of pastry.<\/li>\n<li>If you are using a new wooden mould, you need to fill it up with oil and leave it overnight for it to seep into the wood. This will help to season the mould and ensure that the mooncake would not stick during shaping.<\/li>\n<li>You need to dust the mooncake mould with flour before shaping the mooncakes if not the pastry will end up sticking to the mould, resulting in an undesirable outer etching.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"wprm-admin-modal-field-ingredient-group\" data-react-beautiful-dnd-draggable=\"1\">\n<div class=\"wprm-admin-modal-field-ingredient-group-name-container\">\n<div class=\"wprm-admin-modal-field-richtext wprm-admin-modal-field-ingredient-group-name wprm-admin-modal-field-richtext-singleline\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"textbox\" contenteditable=\"true\" data-gramm=\"false\" data-slate-editor=\"true\" data-slate-node=\"value\">\n<h1><span style=\"color: #ad0922;\">INGREDIENTS (9 mooncakes)<\/span><\/h1>\n<p data-slate-node=\"element\"><span data-slate-node=\"text\">Pastry<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wprm-admin-modal-field-ingredient-after-container\">\n<div class=\"wprm-admin-modal-field-ingredient-after-container-icons\">\n<ul>\n<li aria-describedby=\"tippy-tooltip-10\" data-original-title=\"undefined\"><span data-slate-node=\"text\">200<\/span>g Hong Kong Flour (narcissus brand)<\/li>\n<li aria-describedby=\"tippy-tooltip-10\" data-original-title=\"undefined\">125 ml Golden Syrup<\/li>\n<li aria-describedby=\"tippy-tooltip-10\" data-original-title=\"undefined\">50ml Peanut Oil<\/li>\n<li aria-describedby=\"tippy-tooltip-10\" data-original-title=\"undefined\">\u00bc tbsp Alkaline Water<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wprm-admin-modal-field-ingredient\" data-react-beautiful-dnd-draggable=\"1\">\n<div class=\"wprm-admin-modal-field-ingredient-after-container\">\n<div class=\"wprm-admin-modal-field-ingredient-after-container-icons\">\n<div class=\"\" data-tooltipped=\"\" aria-describedby=\"tippy-tooltip-14\" data-original-title=\"undefined\">Filling<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wprm-admin-modal-field-ingredient-group\" data-react-beautiful-dnd-draggable=\"1\">\n<div class=\"wprm-admin-modal-field-ingredient-after-container\">\n<div class=\"wprm-admin-modal-field-ingredient-after-container-icons\">\n<ul>\n<li aria-describedby=\"tippy-tooltip-15\" data-original-title=\"undefined\">9 Salted Egg Yolks<\/li>\n<li aria-describedby=\"tippy-tooltip-15\" data-original-title=\"undefined\">1kg Lotus Seed Paste (lian rong)<\/li>\n<li aria-describedby=\"tippy-tooltip-15\" data-original-title=\"undefined\">50g Toasted Melon Seeds<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Others<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Hong Kong Flour (for dusting)<\/li>\n<li>Water (for spraying)<\/li>\n<li>2 Egg Yolks and 1 Egg White (for egg wash)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h1><span style=\"color: #ad0922;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theburningkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Mooncake-Ingredients-min.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-17680\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theburningkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Mooncake-Ingredients-min.jpeg\" alt=\"Mooncake Ingredients\" width=\"1080\" height=\"608\" srcset=\"https:\/\/theburningkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Mooncake-Ingredients-min.jpeg?v=1599214351 1080w, https:\/\/theburningkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Mooncake-Ingredients-min-300x169.jpeg?v=1599214351 300w, https:\/\/theburningkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Mooncake-Ingredients-min-680x383.jpeg?v=1599214351 680w, https:\/\/theburningkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Mooncake-Ingredients-min-768x432.jpeg?v=1599214351 768w, https:\/\/theburningkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Mooncake-Ingredients-min-480x270.jpeg?v=1599214351 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><\/a>HOW TO MAKE TRADITIONAL MOONCAKE (MAKES 9 MOONCAKES)<\/span><\/h1>\n<h4>PREPARE THE EGG YOLK<\/h4>\n<ol>\n<li>Remove the black salted charcoal from the salted egg and wash thoroughly.<\/li>\n<li>Separate the egg yolk from the white.<\/li>\n<li>Remove excess egg white that is left on the yolk with a kitchen towel.<\/li>\n<li>Arrange the yolks on an oiled plate and steam for 2 minutes.

The ones with the black soil are the freshest and will produce a bigger and more vibrant egg yolk.<\/li>\n<li>It is best if you follow our recipe to make your own lotus seed paste, if not, we recommend that you get it from Sun Lik Trading.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h1><span style=\"color: #ad0922;\">COOKING TIPS<\/span><\/h1>\n<ol>\n<li>Do not over-steam the egg yolks as they will be dry and disintegrate easily during the assembly process.<\/li>\n<li>Golden syrup sweetens the pastry and gives it the beautiful golden colour.<\/li>\n<li>Alkaline water neutralises the acid in the golden syrup which helps to prevent the sugars from crystallising and forming a crispy pastry. It browns the mooncake and keeps it soft.<\/li>\n<li>The peanut oil will add a savoury depth of flavour to the mooncake.<\/li>\n<li>To prevent the skin from cracking during the baking process, spray some water over the mooncakes before baking.<\/li>\n<li>Do not brush the raw mooncake with egg wash as it will destroy the imprint, thus doing it after the 1st round of baking will be better. However, remember to let the mooncake cool down before doing so if not the residual heat will cook the egg. Brush it uniformly and get into all the crevices so the mooncake will brown evenly.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theburningkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Mooncakes-with-Egg-Wash-min.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-17681\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theburningkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Mooncakes-with-Egg-Wash-min.jpeg\" alt=\"Mooncakes with Egg Wash\" width=\"1080\" height=\"608\" srcset=\"https:\/\/theburningkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Mooncakes-with-Egg-Wash-min.jpeg?v=1599214353 1080w, https:\/\/theburningkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Mooncakes-with-Egg-Wash-min-300x169.jpeg?v=1599214353 300w, https:\/\/theburningkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Mooncakes-with-Egg-Wash-min-680x383.jpeg?v=1599214353 680w, https:\/\/theburningkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Mooncakes-with-Egg-Wash-min-768x432.jpeg?v=1599214353 768w, https:\/\/theburningkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Mooncakes-with-Egg-Wash-min-480x270.jpeg?v=1599214353 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h1><span style=\"color: #ad0922;\">STORING TIPS<\/span><\/h1>\n<ol>\n<li>When done, cool completely and place it in a container for at least 1-2 days for the oil to surface.

The ones with the black soil are the freshest and will produce a bigger and more vibrant egg yolk.<\/li>\n<li>It is best if you follow our recipe to make your own lotus seed paste, if not, we recommend that you get it from Sun Lik Trading.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h1><span style=\"color: #ad0922\">COOKING TIPS<\/span><\/h1>\n<ol>\n<li>Do not over-steam the egg yolks as they will be dry and disintegrate easily during the assembly process.<\/li>\n<li>Golden syrup sweetens the pastry and gives it the beautiful golden colour.<\/li>\n<li>Alkaline water neutralises the acid in the golden syrup which helps to prevent the sugars from crystallising and forming a crispy pastry. It browns the mooncake and keeps it soft.<\/li>\n<li>The peanut oil will add a savoury depth of flavour to the mooncake.<\/li>\n<li>To prevent the skin from cracking during the baking process, spray some water over the mooncakes before baking.<\/li>\n<li>Do not brush the raw mooncake with egg wash as it will destroy the imprint, thus doing it after the 1st round of baking will be better. However, remember to let the mooncake cool down before doing so if not the residual heat will cook the egg. Brush it uniformly and get into all the crevices so the mooncake will brown evenly.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h1><span style=\"color: #ad0922\">STORING TIPS<\/span><\/h1>\n<ol>\n<li>When done, cool completely and place it in a container for at least 1-2 days for the oil to surface. The mooncake will take on a glossy appearance, and it will taste better.<\/li>\n<li>Do not throw away the unused egg whites, use them in fried rice or steamed eggs!<\/li>\n<\/ol><\/div><\/div>\n<h3
