Mung bean cake (绿豆糕) is easy to make and has an interesting taste and texture. When you take a bit, the cake will melt in your mouth and leave a nutty, milky taste on your tongue. You can also treat it as the easiest mooncake.
INGREDIENTS
200 g (7 oz) of skinless mung beans (Amazon Link - geni.us/skinless-mung-bean)
300 g (1.25 cups) of water
56 g (1/2 stick) of unsalted butter
100 g (8 tbsp) of sugar
63 g (3 tbsp) of honey (Amazon Link - geni.us/unfiltered-honey)
1/4 tsp of salt
INSTRUCTION
Soak the skinless mung bean overnight, Then rinse under running water and drain thoroughly.
Add the well-drained mung beans and 1.25 cups of water into a nonstick pot. Then bring to a simmer over medium heat. Switch the heat to the lowest and simmer for 20 minutes. If you use skin-on mung beans, the pastry will have a dark green color, and it will take 1.5 hours for the beans to turn soft.
Use a rubber spatula to smash the cooked mung beans until nice and smooth. If you are using the skin on mung beans, you will have to use a blender to crush the beans because the skin is a bit tougher.
Add sugar, honey, salt, and unsalted butter into the mung bean paste. Stir over medium-low heat for 15 minutes to evaporate excess moisture.
When the mung bean paste becomes nonstick, remove it to the side and let it cool to lukewarm. Make sure you cover the mung bean paste so it doesn't form a hard skin.
Divide the mung bean paste into 12 pieces. Roll each piece in between your hands and shape it into a round ball.
Put the mung bean paste into a mooncake presser. Gently press it down onto a clean cutting board with steady pressure. Stay there for a few seconds to establish the shape. Then release it. You will get a pretty, exquisite pastry. Enjoy!

I love how much thought you give your instructions. You always explain why you do things, like why you want to lower the temp or use a particular bean. You even consider dietary restrictions and give alternate options for ingredients. It really just makes your recipes so easy to follow. ❤️

my brother brought back these little mung bean tea cakes from vietnam that come wrapped almost like a bouillon cube and, when you open the foil, separate into four tiny pieces. they crumble and melt in your mouth and are so delicious! to order more of these cakes online or to have my brother send another package home would be way too expensive and i would much rather make them. i've made a lot of recipes from your channel and have never been disappointed so i am very thankful for this recipe! i will definitely be making some, if not this weekend, then very soon!

After watching many moon cake video, I finally decided on trying this mung bean mooncakes since I bought a large bag of organic peeled mung beans from the Indian market. I didn’t relish standing over the pot for 30 minutes stirring the paste so I used my KitchenAid Multipot w/Stirring tower. It works great for this recipe! The Mung Bean moon cakes taste wonderful. Thank you so much for your precise instructions. Applying your directions to the controls on the machine gave me the perfect texture and save my poor old arm… Now, I’m going to try the Snowy Skin moon cake with custard next. 6:01

I might cry, and my arm almost fell off, or so it feels, but so worth it! I halved the recipe and had to use a bit more water because otherwise it wouldn't cover the beans, but from soaking them ahead of time and watching carefully as they boiled, it was okay. Just meant I had to stir longer. I think I also got impatient in the mashing phase because my texture wasn't super smooth the way the videos looked, but it was so very delicious. I also had a minor mishap when transferring the dough out of the pot into a bowl to cool. I used the same bowl I had soaked the beans in, and I had rinsed it. There was about a teaspoon of water I didn't realize was in there until too late, so it got sticky again when it cooled enough to work with. 😅 I found a tip online looking up variations on this recipe to brush a tiny bit of a neutral oil on the mold to keep the cakes from sticking, and that worked great. Two of them came out glossy, but the rest were beautiful as can be. The glossy ones tasted so good 🤣. I ate them to taste test.

Hi Mindy (?) , great recipe and easy too. I'm going to try it. One way to relieve the arm soreness is to stand on something a bit higher. I am pretty short and my counter is a little higher than is comfortable to do a lot of stirring. I stand on 2 old telephone books that are wrapped together. A step stool is too high. This puts me at the optimal height to comfortably stir at my stove or counter. Really enjoy your channel - thanks!

I'm curious, though, how should I store these and how long do they last?

I've tried making so many of your mooncake recipes, but my cakes always stick to my mold. What's your secret? Also, how long do these mung bean cakes keep for? Should they be stored in the refrigerator?

@SoupedUpRecipes Жыл бұрын

To prevent the mooncake from sticking, you have to cook the mung bean paste to a perfect consistency, which takes lots of practice. However, there is a short cut. You can roast some cornstarch in a non-stick pan over low heat for a few minutes. Use the cornstarch as a dusting powder to prevent the mooncakes from sticking. These mooncakes can stay good in the fridge for a week.
