Mooncake, yuebing, Chinese mooncake – this unusual dessert has many names, but its taste is unique and inimitable.
In ancient China, a dessert called mooncake was considered an offering to the Moon for a bountiful harvest, and in the modern world such a sweet gift will be considered a sign of respect and a wish for good luck.
The peculiarity of the recipe for the so-called “Chinese mooncake” is the ability to vary the ingredients, for example, sesame oil can be replaced with olive oil if you don’t have it.
As for the filling, you can also take any nuts to your taste: walnuts, hazelnuts, and even cashews will fit perfectly into the overall flavor ensemble.
