Zongzi-shaped Mung Bean Cake (Children's Pastry) 25 그램

• Appearance & Shape: As the name suggests, it mimics the shape of zongzi, usually in a small triangular form. Some are decorated with matcha powder or cocoa powder to outline the appearance of zongzi leaves and ropes, vivid and cute, making it eye-catching.

• Ingredients: The main ingredient is high-quality mung beans, which are soaked, steamed, and ground into a smooth mung bean paste. Butter, sugar, and milk powder are added to enhance the milky aroma and sweetness. Some versions use matcha or cocoa powder for coloring, while fillings like cream cheese, salted egg yolk, or dried cranberries add layered flavors.

• Taste & Flavor: With a delicate and soft texture that melts in the mouth, the mung bean paste is smooth and slightly sticky, blending rich bean fragrance with milky or matcha notes. It is sweet but not cloying, and even more refreshing when chilled—an ideal summer treat.

• Cultural Implication: Mung bean cake is a traditional pastry, where "cake" (gao) sounds like "high" in Chinese, symbolizing progress and success. Combined with zongzi (traditionally eaten during Dragon Boat Festival), it carries the auspicious meaning of "scoring high in exams," making it a great gift for students preparing for tests.

• Application Scenarios: As a special Dragon Boat Festival pastry, it’s perfect for family gatherings or as a festive gift. It also serves as a delicious tea-time snack with coffee or tea, suitable for office afternoon tea or friend gatherings.
