The ground mung bean is mixed with sugar and edible oil, and then mixed repeatedly to make a cake. Then the cake is stamped with the patterns of "Fu", "Lu" and "Shou" carved on the family wood. After being pressed, it is placed in a steamer and steamed for 5-10 minutes to make a mouth watering Zhanglin mung bean cake.
