As the Mid-Autumn Festival approaches, the air fills with the vibrant colors of lanterns and the cheerful sound of drumbeats. In this warm and festive atmosphere, mooncakes are an indispensable treat, carrying traditional flavors and deep cultural significance. Nowadays, mooncakes are not limited to classic baked or snow skin types but have become more diverse and abundant. Let’s dive into the details with Chus in this article!
Most Popular Mooncake Varieties
1. Mixed Filling Mooncakes
Golden-brown crust with rich filling - mixed filling mooncakes are the traditional symbol of Mid-Autumn season
Baked mooncakes with mixed fillings are always the top choice during every August full moon season. Familiar ingredients like lotus seeds, chestnuts, pork skin, Chinese sausage, and candied winter melon blend together to create an unforgettable rich flavor. The golden-brown baked crust, fragrant when cut, brings the warm feeling of traditional family gatherings.
What's special is that modern producers have creatively added many premium ingredients like roasted cashews, shredded chicken, and even abalone to create more luxurious mixed filling versions. These types of cakes often appear in CHUS Mid-Autumn gift boxes, helping you give complete and refined gifts.
2. Mung Bean Mooncake
Creamy, sweet green bean filling - the beloved choice of all generations
Mung bean mooncakes have always been a favorite for many thanks to their sweet and rich taste. The ingredients for mung bean filling are simple but exquisite, consisting of mung beans, sugar, flour, and salted egg yolk, creating a familiar sweet and rich flavor.
After being boiled, the mung beans are finely ground and simmered with sugar for about 45 to 60 minutes. This stage is crucial to achieving the perfect sweetness and moisture, ensuring a soft, smooth texture and a rich taste. Mung bean mooncakes are best enjoyed with a hot cup of tea to balance the sweetness, making the experience complete and satisfying.
Besides the usual mung bean mooncakes, there are also vegan versions with just mung bean filling, perfect for those who prefer vegetarian options during the full moon festival.
3. Snow skin Mooncakes with Green Bean and Lotus Seed Fillings
Silky smooth white skin, soft mooncakes bring the pure beauty of autumn
Snow skin mooncakes have a crust made from fine white glutinous rice flour, mixed with pomelo blossom water and sugar syrup, creating a soft, smooth, and fragrant texture. The filling is very diverse, ranging from sweet mung beans, rich red beans, to aromatic durian, each offering a different taste experience.
According to the culinary tastes of Hanoi people, they often prefer brands with sweeter snow skin mooncakes compared to those in the South. Besides the pure white snow skin cakes resembling snow, there are also pastel pink, light green, and other visually appealing variations.
This isn’t just a traditional delicacy but also a cultural symbol of family bonding and happiness.
