  • Preparation: 40 min
  • Cooking: 30 min
  • Makes: 1 serving (117 g)
  • Difficulty: Hard
  • Diets: Vegetarian, Dairy-free
  • Contains: egg, gluten

Ingredients

  • 30 g Flour, all-purpose
  • 12 g Vegetable oil
  • 25 g Mung beans, dried
  • 20 g Sugar
  • 20 g Durian, raw
  • 10 g Duck eggs, raw

Method

  1. Steam the mung beans until soft, mash smooth with the sugar, then cook briefly with the durian flesh over low heat, stirring, until it forms a thick paste; let cool.
  2. Mix the flour with the oil and a little water into a smooth dough, then roll and fold it over itself a few times to build flaky layers.
  3. Flatten a portion of dough, place a little mung bean-durian filling and a small piece of the duck egg (standing in for salted egg yolk) in the center, and wrap the dough around to seal into a round, flat disc.
  4. Place seam-side down on a lined tray and bake at 180 °C (350 °F) for 25-30 minutes until lightly golden.
  5. Cool before serving; this makes one portion (one pastry), so multiply for more.
