September 2017 Home Cooking DOTM: BALL SHAPED FOOD

[VikingKaj (Retired !)]

Aren’t these kind of ball shaped ?

Savory mooncakes

I have tasted this savory Shanghainese mooncake only once in my life and many years ago in Hong Kong. Actually I prefer this than the more common sweet version. I think traditionally the dough is flaky and made with lard, like the baked barbecue puff (Char Siu puff or Char Siu Sou). Does anybody has any information or recipe to make this dough? Will the fact that using the ready made puff pastry would make a big difference? [image] [image] Image credits: the woks of life and Serious Eats.
