About Moon cake with egg yolk

Moon Cake with Egg Yolk is a traditional Chinese pastry, commonly enjoyed during the Mid-Autumn Festival. It consists of a tender, golden-brown outer crust made from flour, sugar, and oil, encasing a thick filling of sweetened lotus seed paste or red bean paste. At the center lies a salted duck egg yolk, symbolizing the full moon. This delicacy is rich in flavor, combining sweetness with a touch of savory. While moon cakes are high in calories and contain significant amounts of sugar and fat, the salted yolk adds a source of protein and essential minerals like selenium and zinc. However, they should be consumed in moderation due to their caloric density and high cholesterol levels. Moon Cake with Egg Yolk is a cherished symbol of family unity and cultural tradition, best enjoyed as part of a balanced diet during festive celebrations.
