Detailed Steps for Cooking Green Bean Paste Mooncake
Wash the peeled green beans and soak them in water for about 2 hours. Put them in a pressure cooker with appropriate amount of water and cook for 30 minutes.
Mash the cooked green beans with a spoon, then sift them finely and pour them into a non-stick pan. Add appropriate amount of granulated sugar and continue to stir-fry to remove excess water.
Stir-fry the green bean paste until it is moderately soft and hard.
Take one green bean paste ball and press it into a mooncake mold to shape it (it will crack if it is too hard and won’t hold its shape if it is too soft).
Add appropriate amount of cactus fruit powder to the green bean paste and press it into a mooncake, which looks beautiful.
Add appropriate amount of matcha powder to the green bean paste to make green bean paste mooncakes.
Three colors of green bean paste mooncakes, each with a unique color (no food coloring), are very appetizing.
The green bean paste can also be used to make pastries. Homemade green bean paste is clean and hygienic, with no additives.
