If the mung bean layer keeps cracking, add 1 or 2 teaspoons of water or oil and work it into the paste. Note also that if you reduce the amount of sugar significantly, this increases the chances of cracking. See note 3 for more info.
If the cake gets stuck to the mold, clean out the crevices of the mold with a toothpick. Then, rub a thin layer of oil (any neutral-flavored oil like sunflower or vegetable oil) over the large balls of dough before fitting it into the mooncake mold.
If you are using a square mold, you’ll want to shape the large ball of dough into a slightly oblong, oval shape. When you insert the dough into the mooncake press, the dough won’t scrape against the sides of the press.
If any of the bean paste is sticking to your hands, grease your hands with some oil a neutral oil or coconut oil would work.
