I plan on making yours rather than the chinese version because I want to mail them to friends and family, and since you said that these do not need to be refrigerated, I'm hoping they will ship well.

As I understand the chinese version is served/stored cold and the pastry should be thin and soft like the pastry of baked moon cakes (the main "attraction" is the filling). <BR/><BR/>On the other hand, the vietnamese version is served/stored at room temp. and the main attraction of the cake is the pastry skin not the filling (that's why the ratio of skin to filling is 2:1). The pastry skin should be soft and chewy.<BR/><BR/>With that being said...the reason why chinese recipes call for a lot of shortening is because the shortening helps create a tender pastry to resemble the pastry of baked moon cakes. For that same reason, vietnamese ping pei uses very little oil (just enough to keep the cake from drying out). The syrup helps capture the chewy texture from the flour, this is also why chinese recipes don't use syrup.hoangtam/tthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02251158612536272046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17589132.post-1157087601953676152006-08-31T22:13:00.000-07:002006-08-31T22:13:00.000-07:00hi tt!

I've been searching for recipes for Ping Pei mooncakes and this one seems different in that it uses a syrup base and very little shortening, where as most of the other recipes I've seen uses a lot more shortening and water and sugar. Do you know what the different is in taste or texture?
