Chicken Floss Mochi Suzhou Mooncake @ 鸡肉丝麻糬苏州月饼

This chicken floss mochi Suzhou mooncake is a bit messy. It was cut while its still hot. Its my fault cause I am too anxious to find out the result. My heart beat is running wild when slicing up the thing. Luckily no heart attack ! haha.....

And here is the pastry when it is cut after cooled. You can clearly differentiate layer by layer easily. The bottom layer is the pandan flavour mung bean paste, the middle layer is the mochi dough and the top layer is the meat floss. I am thrilled ! I did it again successfully. Hopefully, I can produce as many kinds of mooncake as possible this year. And all my guests can enjoy all kinds of mooncake throughout the weeks before the mid-autumn festival arrived.

This is simple steamed mochi dough that I made. Please refer the recipe here.
