Hunan-style mooncake

Hunan-style mooncakes are traditional Chinese pastries originating from Hunan Province, known for their distinctive, thick, and flaky crust. They typically feature a savory filling, often combining salted egg yolks, pork, vegetables, or other regional ingredients, reflecting local flavors. Unlike the sweet, dense mooncakes popular elsewhere, Hunan-style mooncakes emphasize a hearty, flavorful profile with a crisp exterior. They are often enjoyed during festivals like the Mid-Autumn Festival and highlight regional culinary traditions through their unique texture and ingredient combinations.
