Prepare your filling by taking 20g of filling, roll into a ball and flatten with your palm
Place a reconstructed egg yolk in the center and cover it completely with the filling. Roll into a ball and set aside.
Repeat until all the filling is rolled and put in the freezer for at least one hour For easier wrapping
Optional: use food colouring to colour all or part of your dough. Here are some samples of how you can use colour in your mooncakes
Roll the snowy mooncake skin dough into a log shape and cut them into 25g pieces. Roll them into balls. Put under plastic wrap to prevent drying out Skin to filling ratio is 1:1 (filling includes egg yolk). Adjust weights if your mold is not for 50g mooncakes
Take one skin dough ball and flatten in the palms of your hands
Put the filling in the middle of the flattened skin and wrap the filling
Close all openings by pressing and pinching the edges together.
Roll in your palms until smooth
Roll the mooncake in a bowl with cooked glutinous rice flour
Then roll in your palms to even out the cooked glutinous rice flour Only a light layer of flour is needed
Dust the inside of the mold with cooked glutinous rice flour
Put it into the mold. Do not force the mooncake into the mold is it doesn’t fit. Reshape it vertically to fit the mold
Hold the mold base with one hand and press with the other
Once the stamp presses on the mooncake, press down another 5-6mm and you will feel additional tension on the press
Now lift the base and keep pressing until mooncake comes out
Done
