Konnyaku Pandan Soya Mooncake with Red Bean Filling

 

I want to bake some mooncakes but I don't have any filling with me now. So I started this year mooncake making with konnyaku mooncake with red bean filling.

This year I'm lucky to have new jelly mould from Doreen of My Little Favourites DIY. The patterns are very lovely! Actually this konnyaku mooncake is inspired by her agar-agar mooncake recipes. Looking for creative agar-agar mooncake? Then you must drop by her blog for steps by steps mooncake making recipes. Thanks again Doreen!

 

 

Ingredients: yield about 8 pcs big mooncakes
(A) Pastry
10g konnyaku jelly powder
150g sugar

 

650ml water
350ml non-sweet soya milk
20ml homemade concentrate pandan juice
*blend few pandan leaves with some water. Leave inside fridge for few days before used.

(B) Filling
100g cooked red bean


Methods:
1. Put the konnyaku jelly powder and sugar in a bowl. Mix till well combined. Set aside.

2. Bring the water to boil. Scoop some of the hot water into jelly powder mixture from step (1). Stir until most of the konnyaku jelly powder dissolve.

3. Pour the step (2) mixture back into the remaining hot water. Stir and bring to boil. Cook until all the sugar and konnyaku jelly powder dissolve.

4. For the filling, measure 150ml of cooked konnyaku mixture into red bean bowl. Stir to well combine. Pour into small jelly mould and leave to set.
*I only pour 3/4 of small mould. It is perfect size as 'filling'.
*once set, remove from mould and set aside.

 

 

5. Add in soya milk and pandan juice into the remaining cooked konnyaku mixture. Bring to boil again. This will be pandan soya pastry mixture.


~ Assemble
1. Scoop some pastry mixture and fill about 1/4 of the mould. Leave aside to set.
* I keep in fridge to fasten the setting process.
* you might need to heat up the pastry mixture if harden.

2. Once the pastry set, place red bean filling in the center.

3. Pour pastry mixture up to the top. Leave to set and chill in the fridge.

4. Loosen the side of the konnyaku, invert and gentle press the jelly out of the mould. Enjoy!
