Mid Autumn Festival~中秋节


Another festival is around the corner. I guess everyone felt the qi fen around, you can see everywhere in the supermarkets are selling mooncakes and fancy lanterns. Few days ago my mum ask me "Are you making any green tea bing pi mooncake this year?" So this is my little favourite DIY bing pi mooncake just for my mum and its a little difference this year. Not more traditional shapes and looks.... wah... la... cuttie..haha

Snow Moon Cake (Bing Pi Mooncake)






Ingredients: 90g Gao Fen
100g Icing Sugar
120g water (at room temperature) or cold water
 Few drop of orange paste or yam paste or any flavour you like
1 tbsp Crisco (shortening)

Method:
1) Mix icing sugar with water stir until sugar dissolves.
2) Add in gao fen slowly and mix into a soft dough.
3)Add in crisco and knead gently until its smooth.
4) Wrap in your favourable filling and press into any shapes you like. That all. It is simple.

Shark Fin Dumpling ~鱼翅饺

This Shark Fin Dumpling (yu chi gow), is one of my favorite dumpling. Although it is named Shark Fin Dumpling, but they contain no actual shark fin in it. Some say the look and shape of the dumpling does look like shark fin and other do include in imitation shark fin, though. I am lucky to have spotted this long hibernating in the book shelf chinese dim sum book ‘香港地道小吃’ translated as 'Hong Kong Authentic Tapas' Well， Do, you find this look like Shark's Fin?? 看看形状像不像鱼翅呢？？  Filling for the ingredients are prawn, mince meat, carrot, yam bean and black fungus. Get ready the filling and the wanton wrappers. This is the parade of my Shark's Fin dumpling ... lol Homemade parchment paper liner. Arrange them neatly into the bamboo steamer. HOT! HOT!
