The soft and sweet mung bean cake is simple to make, satisfying and nutritious, and it is very simple to make at home
Mung bean cake, one of my favorite desserts when I was a kid. Whenever my grandmother said to me, "Grandson, do you want to eat mung bean cake?" I was always excited like a bird. This dessert gave me many fond memories and allowed me to slowly develop a love for food.
I remember that time, I went to visit the store with my friends and found a long-established restaurant in an alley in the center of the city. We opened the door and walked in, and a strong fragrance came to our noses, as if with the smell of childhood. The walls of the store are covered with various awards and accolades, and it is clear that this is a very popular storefront.
Once seated, we couldn't wait to order a mung bean cake. The shopkeeper told us that the mung bean cake here is their signature dessert and has always been loved by customers. Soon after, a plate of golden mung bean cake was served. The delicate taste and unique mung bean aroma make us feel very satisfied. We asked the store about the secret recipe for making mung bean cake, and he said with a smile: "This is a secret recipe that has been passed down from our family for generations, and it has been slowly formed after years of summary and improvement." ”
When I got back from a visit to the restaurant, I started to figure out how to make it myself. After a lot of Xi and practice, I discovered a different way of cooking. First, wash the mung beans with clean water, put them in a pressure cooker, add water and bring them to a boil. After boiling, turn to low heat and simmer, simmer for 30 minutes, after the mung beans are cooked, stir vigorously into a paste, add an appropriate amount of sugar, and continue to stir until the sugar is dissolved. Then pour the mung bean paste into the mold and spread it evenly. Finally, put the mold in a steamer and steam it over high heat for 20 minutes.
This cooking method is simpler and more convenient than traditional mung bean cake, and the boiling and steaming process can better lock in the aroma and nutrients of mung beans, making mung bean cake more fragrant and delicious.
Of course, there may be some things that can be optimized in the process of making mung bean cake. For example, when simmering mung beans, you can add some glutinous rice appropriately, which can increase the stickiness and texture of mung bean cake. In addition, depending on personal taste, you can also add other seasonings, such as red beans, lotus paste, etc., while adding sugar, to increase the taste level of mung bean cake.
