How to Make Green Tea Mooncake

Things You'll Need:

• green tea powder
• dough
• shortening
• ice water
• mixer
• food coloring
• rice flour
• melon seeds

Step 1: With the ice water, pour it into the Red Man snow mix and green tea mixture to form a the green tea paste.

 

Step 2: Make sure to add the water in small parts for consistency. Too much or too little water can ruin the paste - and the cake.

 

Step 3: In a plastic or wooden bowl, add small amount of flower to the mixture, and knead in the shortening, until the dough is smooth.

 

Step 4: Add the food coloring in small parts, until it is evenly distributed the dough.

 

Step 5: Put the dough mixture in a refrigerator and let it cool for 30-40 minutes.

 

Step 6: Remove the excess dough and divide it into equal portions.

 

Step 7: Place the dough mixture and spread it on a plastic sheet and sprinkle the melon seeds on top of it.

 

Step 8: Roll and mix the melon seeds, until they blend in well with the paste.

 

Step 9: Press a portion of the dough into a round shape and a small portion (1-3 tbsp) on the center of the dough and roll it into a ball.

 

Step 10: After coating the dough ball in the rice flour, place it into a plastic container. Press the ball until it's flat. Take out the dough from the fridge, and tap the bowl lightly, to loosen the dough.

 

Step 11: Finally, place the dough into an air tight bowl, put it back in the fridge and let it chill, until ready to serve.
