PREPARATION

AZUKI BEAN FILLING
1. Combine whey protein isolate, azuki bean paste and melon seeds. Mix well and set aside.

MATCHA SKIN

Gently heat light corn syrup, glycerine, and tapioca starch while stirring continuously until a homogenous paste is formed.
Remove from heat and transfer the paste into a mixing bowl. Add the canola oil and mix at low speed for 30 sec. Add skimmed milk powder and matcha powder and continue mixing at low speed for 1 min.
Add the whey protein isolate and mix slowly at low speed for 2 mins until well incorporated.

Assembly

Knead the matcha dough to soften it slightly.
Portion 22 g of matcha dough and roll into a ball. Flatten the dough and place 18 g of azuki bean filling into the center of the dough. Wrap it up tightly, sealing the edges.
Place the ball into a small mooncake mold (pre-dusted with toasted tapioca flour). Gently press to form shape.
Tap and remove from the mold. Chill before serving
