Prepare 550g of purple sweet potatoes, 300g of sago pearls, 30g of cornstarch, and 200g of granulated sugar, don’t forget the mooncake molds. First, soak the sago pearls in water for 30 minutes, drain, mix with 30g of cornstarch and 100g of granulated sugar until dough-like.
Next, peel and wash the purple sweet potatoes, steam for 20 minutes until soft, let cool and mix in the remaining 100g of granulated sugar, mash into a mashed sweet potato mixture for later use. Shape the mashed sweet potato mixture into small round balls.
Meanwhile, knead the dough into round balls as well. Take one dough ball and wrap it around a mashed sweet potato ball, ensuring a tight seal to prevent fillings from overflowing during steaming.
Place the shaped mooncake into the mold, press to form the shape, then place in a steamer over high heat for about 25 minutes. Once the mooncakes are steamed, the translucent snowskin reveals the purple sweet potato filling, releasing a faint and enticing sweet aroma when freshly cooked.
