Note: 1, the production of this point, to choose a good lotus, white and flawless, the best kind of pot that is rotten. We must get rid of pains. 2. Mung bean noodles, to choose a new pure green bean noodles, both from the viscosity and color are very good. If you don't add lotus seed stuffing to make this, it's the traditional mung bean cake in old Beijing. It's very dry and sweet! Mung bean cake is also made by dry patting with molds. The molds used in the past are all made of wood, which can be combined and disassembled. It's very convenient. What I make is mousse mold is also very good, ha ha! 3. After demoulding, you can change the knife at will and cut it into the shape you like. In the past, the traditional ones were square and diamond. This time I cut them into triangles. Ha ha! People use green silk and red silk embellishment, I use fresh cherry, ha ha, there is a difference! 4. I feel that when making lotus seed fillings, it's better not to be too delicate. It's good to bring some lotus seed granules. Of course, it doesn't matter if you press them more delicate. Lotus seed noodles can also be made by steaming lotus seeds and drying them in the air, then stirring them into powder with a cooking machine, and finally adding sugar and sweet scented osmanthus paste and patting them on the mung bean cake. This is also the traditional way. I feel too dry, changed, ha ha! yes
