Ingredients

  • All-purpose flour - 100 grams
  • Golden syrup - 50 grams
  • Vegetable oil - 30 grams
  • Baking soda - 1/4 teaspoon
  • Water - 30 milliliters
  • Red bean paste - 50 grams
  • Assorted fresh fruits (such as mango, kiwi, and strawberries) - 100 grams, diced
  • Sesame seeds - 1 tablespoon

Steps

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, golden syrup, vegetable oil, baking soda, and water to form a smooth dough.
  2. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes at room temperature.
  3. While the dough is resting, prepare the fruit filling by mixing the diced fresh fruits with the red bean paste in a separate bowl.
  4. After resting, divide the dough into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a small ball.
  5. Flatten each ball into a disc and place a spoonful of the fruit and red bean paste mixture in the center.
  6. Carefully fold the edges of the dough over the filling and pinch to seal, shaping it into a round mooncake.
  7. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  8. Place the mooncakes on the prepared tray and gently brush the tops with a little vegetable oil, then sprinkle sesame seeds on top.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until lightly golden.
  10. Allow the mooncakes to cool completely before serving.
