This healthy mung bean cake is inspired by a Chinese bakery in Taiwan sells mung bean cake that contains less sugar and oil. He steams it and mashes it with a rolling pin and shapes it.
I used a traditional wooden mooncake mould and an ang ku kueh mould (tortoise shaped mould) as I’m trying to stick to a minimalist concept so I just borrowed it from a relative.
