🧂 Ingredients

• 3 drops Red food colouring
• 8 drops Yellow food colouring
• 525 g Snowy mooncake skin dough
• 21 Reconstructed salted egg yolks

  5g each
• 420 g Prepared filling
• 42 Black sesame seeds
• 2 tbsp Cooked glutinous rice flour
• 1 Toothpick
• 1 Straw

  (I used one that is approx. 5mm diameter from McDonald’s)
• 1 pair Plastic food gloves

  (the dough and filling can be sticky; I highly recommend using these)

Instructions

• 1 Use a dry, clean pan. Turn heat to medium and add glutinous rice flour
• 2 Stir for 1 minute and turn heat to low
• 3 Cover with lid for 3 minutes
• 4 Remove lid and stir for 1 minute. It’s cooked when the colour turns lightly
  yellow or when you can smell the glutinous rice aroma
• 5 Remove from heat and set aside
• 6 Prepare your filling by taking 20g of filling, roll into a ball and flatten with
  your palm
• 7 Place a reconstructed egg yolk in the center and cover it completely with the
  filling. Roll into a ball and set aside.
• 8 Repeat until all the filling is rolled and put in the freezer for at least one
  hour For easier wrapping
• 9 Take 105g of the mooncake skin and add 3 drops of red food colouring and 8 drops
  of yellow. Blend until evenly mixed. You should get an orange colour
• 10 Roll into a log shape and cut them into 5g pieces. Put under plastic wrap to
  prevent drying out
• 11 Take the rest of the mooncake skin and roll into a log shape. Cut them into 20g
  pieces. Roll into balls and put under plastic wrap
• 12 Take one piece of the 5g orange skin, cut it into 4-6 random sized pieces. Roll
  them into random shapes
• 13 Take a 20g white mooncake skin, remove 3 small pieces to make the fins and tail.
  Make them into triangle shapes with sides approx. 8mm. Use a plastic knife to
  press lines on the fins and tails
• 14 Take a white mooncake skin and press flat. Press 2-3 orange pieces on each side.
  Place randomly and press together Putting some orange on the underside can give
  it some contrast
• 15 Put the filling in the middle and wrap the filling with the skin. Close all
  openings by pressing and pinching the edges together. Roll in your palms until
  smooth. Lightly coat in cooked glutinous rice flour and then roll in palms to
  even out
• 16 Use a toothpick or the pointed end of a chopstick to make a hole for the mouth
• 17 Use water to affix 2 sesame seeds for the eyes I used a cotton swab to dab a
  tiny bit of water to serve as glue
• 18 Use a straw to make scales
• 19 Affix tail and fins with water
• 20 Pat the bottom with cooked glutinous rice flour
• 21 Done
