Vegetarian Taiwanese Mooncake 【纯素绿豆椪】



I made the Taiwanese Mooncake (绿豆椪)last year and was loved by my many of my Taiwanese friends. A few of my vegetarian friends requested that I try to make a vegetarian version of it, so I make a batch of these vegetarian Taiwanese Mooncake and it turned out just as good! 

去年中秋节我做了两批台式月饼绿豆椪,朋友们都很喜欢,今年慈济功德会的师姐们就问我看看能不能做一批素食版的,中秋节那几周我比较忙,一直拖到节后才有时间做了一批纯素的绿豆椪。出来的效果很好,一点都不输传统的绿豆椪哦!

6. 取一份绿豆馅用拇指压成窝窝状,填入一小勺的素肉臊,捏起成球状就是内馅了。重复此步骤把所有馅料处理好后冷藏20分钟备用。


7. To make the water dough, combine all purpose flour, coconut oil, sunflower oil,sugar and water to form a soft dough. Let it rest for 15 minutes before kneading again to form a smooth dough. Rest the dough for 15 more minutes before dividing it into 12 equal parts, around 30 g each.

15. With the help of the heel of palm, make a dent in the middle of the pastry. The dent is the key to the puffing of pastry while baking, it is also where this pastry gets its name from ."绿豆椪" or Lu Dou Peng, literally means "Mung bean puff "!

16. Use a sprayer to spray a thin layer of water over the pastry, sprinkle some powdered seaweed on the moon cake as decoration.

17. Preheat oven to 300 F/ 150 C and bake for 40-42 minutes. The pastry should be baked at lower rack of the oven at a lower temperature than normal pastry to retain its characteristic white color crust/skin.

13. 把所有的面团和馅料依次包好,松弛10分钟。用手掌根把每一只饼压出一个凹型,这样烤制的时候饼皮就会鼓起,酥皮内部形成中空状态。这也是绿豆椪(膨)名字的由来。

14. 用个小喷壶薄薄地喷一点水在绿豆凸的生坯上,轻轻地撒点海苔粉装饰。

15. 烤箱预热至300F/150C,烤制40-42分钟至饼鼓起即可。

这款饼不能高温烘焙上色,绿豆凸要低温烤制才会有它特有的白色酥皮哦!
