Matcha Snow Skin Mooncake (Japanese Green Tea Snow Skin)| MyKitchen101en
Yields: 10 mini mooncakes (47 g each)
Ingredients for Matcha snow skin: (Yields: 270 g)
- 40 g glutinous rice flour
- 35 g rice flour
- 15 g wheat starch
- ½ tsp Matcha powder (Japanese green tea powder)
- 40 g icing sugar
- 145 g milk
- 15 g cooking oil* (Update: You may increase the amount of cooking oil to 30 g)
Other ingredient:
- 200 g Matcha Mung Bean Paste (Please refer: Matcha Mung Bean Paste Filling for Mooncake)
How to make Matcha mooncake with snow skin:
1 Mix together glutinous rice flour, rice flour, wheat starch, matcha powder, and icing sugar. Add in milk, and mix until smooth. Add in cooking oil, and mix until combined. Sieve mixture into an oil-coated heat-resistant bowl. (Reminder: You may increase the amount of cooking oil to 30 g, the hardening of snow skin will be slower if it is oilier.)
2 Put into the steamer, and steam over medium heat for 25 minutes.
3 Mix until smooth with a spatula while still hot. Set aside until slightly cooled, then wrap with cling wrap and chill for 30 minutes.
4 Prepare hand-coating flour: Stir-fry 1 tablespoon of glutinous rice flour in a dry pan over medium-low heat for 5 minutes and set aside to cool.
5 Divide Matcha Mung Bean Paste into 10 portions (20 g each).
6 Divide Matcha snow skin into 10 portions (27 g each).
7 Flatten snow skin into a round shape, top with filling, then fully wrapped filling with snow skin. Lightly coat with hand-coating flour, then print the pattern with a small mooncake mould (60-g size).
8 Chill the snow skin mooncakes for 1 hour before serving for a better texture. (Update: For storage, put snow skin mooncakes in an airtight container and freeze, thaw in the refrigerator before serving. I usually finish within 5-6 days. )

Hi is wheat starch referring to tepung gandum?
Wheat starch (kanji gandum, or in Chinese is 澄面粉), t is different from wheat flour, it is the starch of wheat.
