Taro Mochi Swirl Mooncakes (芋頭麻糬酥)

Mooncakes are a traditional Chinese pastry enjoyed during the Mid-Autumn Festival. This year, I decided to challenge myself by baking Taro Mochi Swirl Mooncakes (芋頭麻糬酥) instead of the snow skin mooncakes I usually make. Unlike the traditional mooncakes, these have a thousand layers with a flaky shell. It may sound complicated, but I found the process quite fun and enjoyable.

Foolproof Ombré Taro Purée

One of the delights of working with taro and ube (purple yam) is their natural, vibrant colors. Recently, I decided to make a simple and foolproof Ombré Taro Purée using leftover taro and ube. This recipe requires only four basic ingredients and results in four beautiful shades of purple without any artificial food coloring or preservatives. With minimal sugar, this versatile purée pairs wonderfully with toast, milk, or yogurt.
