Salted Egg Yolk and Pork Floss Lucky Bag Mooncake

My dears, let's not eat the same old mooncakes for Mid-Autumn Festival! Last year, I was obsessed with egg yolk and lotus seed paste, but this year, I'm jumping on the bandwagon and making salted egg yolk, pork floss, and red bean paste mooncakes. This recipe makes 20 using a 75g mold, and the steps are simple and foolproof. If you're craving egg yolk and lotus seed paste, you can follow this wrapper recipe and use 30g of wrapper for 45g of egg yolk and lotus seed paste. For molds with other gram sizes, the same ratio of wrapper to filling should be 3:7. Take a look at these mooncakes I made! Each one looks like a little lucky bag, and they're incredibly festive! Baked to a golden, shiny finish, with crisp lines, you can tell they were made with great care. Whether you're packing them or letting them air dry, they'll look stunning wherever you put them. They're delicious and savory when you eat them yourself, and they're even more impressive when you give them as a gift. Who wouldn't be delighted? Take a bite, and the salty, fragrant salted egg yolk and pork floss are wrapped in the rich, smooth red bean paste. It's so delicious you'll want to spin around. Give it as a gift during the Mid-Autumn Festival. It is delicious and has good meaning. It is definitely the best choice for gift giving to satisfy your cravings! Hurry up and make it once and you will know how delicious it is!

Grilled salmon head with lemon

The salmon head with attractive color is roasted until golden and crispy, with the edges slightly curled up. The high temperature forces out the fish oil, leaving attractive amber lines on the skin, which is crispy on the outside and tender and juicy on the inside. The fresh fruit acid of lemon juice instantly penetrates into the fish meat, neutralizing the greasiness while awakening the taste buds; dip a mouthful of sesame salt, and the salty and fragrant particles burst on the tip of the tongue. Paired with a little wine and a drink with teammates, it is comfortable and satisfying. Watching teammates squint their eyes and praise "drunkenness and dreamlessness", at this moment, there is no need for gorgeous words, the happiness in the fireworks is quietly overflowing, and food and company are the most healing appearance of life.

Cold Cloud Fungus and Onion

This "cool with mushrooms and onions" is a refreshing and appetizing cold dish, perfect for summer. The onions are cut into thin pieces and marinated with a little salt, which not only removes the spicy taste but also brings out the sweetness; the mushrooms are scalded and then chilled to keep them crispy and bouncy. The seasoning uses sesame oil, soy sauce and garlic, which is simple but fragrant enough. Finally, some coriander is added to enhance the flavor, which makes the whole dish a little more fresh. The finished product tastes fresh and not greasy, with a savory and slightly sweet flavor. It is equally suitable as a side dish or snack.
