Do the same with Chinese sausage, boil until cooked, dice. Dice the char siu immediately, no need to process.

How to make simple moon cakes for Mid-Autumn Festival using an air fryer
When making the cake, you should pay attention to the ratio of crust and filling so that it is reasonable. Normally, to make a 200g cake, you need to take 150g of filling and 50g of crust dough.
To make quality cakes, please refer to the detailed steps below!
Step 1: Roll out the dough, put the filling in the middle and close it up. Then put the dough into the mold and press lightly to shape.
Step 2: Bake the cake at about 180-200 degrees Celsius for 10 minutes, then take it out and brush a thin layer of the prepared coloring mixture.
Then put the cake back in the oven for another 8-10 minutes. After taking the cake out of the oven, it should be left to cool for 12 hours before eating or giving it as a gift because at this time the cake will have a more beautiful golden shine and look.

3. Notes when making baked moon cakes
Before putting the cake into the mold to press, you should sprinkle a thin layer of flour into the mold and then pat it out completely so that the cake does not stick or break or crack.
The first baking must ensure the cake is fully cooked. When brushing on the coloring mixture, only brush on 1-2 thin, even layers to make the cake look nice.
After baking, the cake should be cooled completely before packaging. If the cake is packaged while still warm, it will quickly spoil and become moldy.
