Thank you for watching. I wish that you and your family, just like the round moon on Mid-Autumn Day, be bright and perfect. 中秋节快乐！ What is your favorite mooncake flavor? For those of you who want to buy the mooncake molds, here is the link - curatedkitchenware.com/products/hand-pressure-moon-cake-mould-with-16-pcs-mode-pattern-for-4-sets
Have tried both basic mooncake and classic mooncake, fillings taste are very nice not too sweet. Your explanation is very well-planned and vdo length is not long and very well done. Appreciate your sharing recipes a lot.
The classic one is the best for me. I discovered the moon cakes during Chinese New Year at an Asian grocery store and loved it. Quick question: how do we stop eating them - they’re so tasty but we need to eat them in moderation 😸
I have always loved Mooncake but always bought them at the Chinese Grocers but knew that fresh ones homemade is the way to go and so thank you so much for the recipe and explaining everything to us step-by-step . Wonderful and I can't wait for September now .
Content like this - where things are explained clearly, but never dumbed down is a treasure. We need more of this so even people who don't want to take on this project can truly understand what goes into their favorite treats. Always a pleasure!
I completely agree! Never in my life have I been inclined to make moon cakes, since they're not super expensive and plentiful, but after this video my mold press has been ordered and I'm ready to give them a shot. Definitely love seeing these highly detailed videos, especially when they cover why and why not certain methods or products were chosen!
Absolutely agree! There is a time and place for “quick and easy” simplified recipes, but so many of us out there want to take the long, meticulous route. I’ve learned so much from this channel.
I feel you give us an extra special gift when you share these recipes of your heritage that are close to your heart. ALL of your recipes are excellent, but the ones like this are just even more so. Thank you❣️
I love your recipes because you put the ingredients list and measurements in METRIC. So many recipes out there are made by Americans or only give imperial measurements and I can never know what that translates since it has so many different conversions online. And like what most people say, you explain things so clearly !! thank you so much.
It never ceases to amaze me the cleverness, patience, and brilliant practicality that goes into a traditional Chinese recipe. Mandy you are the best! I bought your wok and have tried several of your recipes, and I’ve also learned so much. Thanks for being such a high quality channel!
The mooncakes may be the star as you had said, but so are you! Your step.by step instructions are invaluable. I will try your recipe...allbeit my cakes will be too late for harvest moon festival this year. I have to order the molds first lol. Thank you! Take care. Will report back on how well the cakes turn out. Happy moon Festival!
My sister works for a Chinese financial institution, and every now and then the employees are given free souvenirs and snacks from China by their employer. Whenever she brought mooncakes home, it is always me who have taken a large portion of it because it's so good. I especially liked the lotus mooncake and the one with red bean filling (I don't really what they're called...) So good!!!
Honestly, the hardest part for me would be waiting 2 days after baking to eat them! Thanks for sharing the recipe, they look absolutely delicious! Happy Moon Festival!
Your instructions are so clear in every step, almost feel like that I can attempt this intimidating project someday, thank you so much! This is so much better than store bought, no preservatives and much tastier!
I followed this recipe to make my first mooncakes ever. I couldn't find salted egg yolks so I made my own and they ended up a bit flat. The irregular shape of them being stacked up made it hard to wrap and press. The odd shape left me with a couple air gaps after baking. I used honey and bought lotus seed paste since it was available and the seeds weren't at the Asian supermarket. The dough turned out excellent! The lye water did even out the colour making it golden and glossy. The kids enjoyed the pastry but were a bit unsure about the lotus seed paste. They asked me to make it again with the pineapple filling from your other video. Thank you for your expert guidance! I think this will become a family tradition.
That is the best explained video about mooncakes I have ever seen. It is perfect for beginners and I now completely understand why and how to do them right. This Year I'll give it a try with this recipe.
I have watched many other mooncake making videos. But I must say yours is the best as the explanation is very clear. I have saved this video right away! Thank you for such a nice video.
i love how you explain some of the ingredients at the beginning. it's very helpful to know what exactly i'm cooking with, considering these things aren't often used in western cuisine. thank you!
I watched this video to learn how to make mooncakes for my fiancée so that she will feel at home around this time of year. Thanks for the tip about the lotus seeds. They turned out delicious and I can't wait to try the other recipes!
This is the first recipe that I’ve seen that presents everything so clearly and isn’t scary looking. I think I want to try this instead of purchasing this year! Thank you.
I have hated the taste of mooncakes (store bought) from childhood. But I now have a new appreciation for them watching how they are made how much work you put into them 💖
probably store bought mooncakes tastes different from homemade. I used to love pirozki and pelmeni made by my mom and aunts in childhood. But now that I live separately, I hate the taste of supermarket/store bought pirozki and pelmeni they taste completely different, nothing like from my childhood.
This channel thinks of things to explain that I would never consider. I love the attention to details 👏. My favorite mooncake I've tried recently is pineapple mooncake with salted egg yolk. Kind of weird sounding, but my current obsession.
I really love how you explain every step, and best practice. I have made mooncakes in the past year...rather successfully. I never knew that if using honey, you probably don't need to use the lye water. Thank you for all of your invaluable information!!
This is one of those thing that I'll probably never get to try, but I really would like to. Something about the mooncakes makes them really appealing to me.
I bet you could order them, they're popular in Chinese and Vietnamese markets, too. There are gift sets that come with them prepackaged, so shipping might not be a problem.
If you have a local Chinese Grocers they always sell them there right before the Chinese holidays : Chinese New Year and Moon Festival ... that is usually in September but I don't know if they do another one in March . They're really good I love them but always did wonder about the recipe and so I am so grateful for her to painstakingly explain everything in detail . Those little cakes are very dense and heavy and therefore very filling
I made this recipe (with different fillings) -- it was my first time making mooncakes and they came out perfect. I 100% recommend this recipe. Follow all the measurements to a T and you'll have no difficulties.
It’s truly amazing the process to make something as good as moon cakes. You are an extraordinary culinary chef Mindy to video the process and having much patience. Thank you
Omggggg I totally think this video is gold !!! I Mexican and my husband is Chinese and honestly I try my best to cook and make stuff he will enjoy. Now we have 2 kids and I thought I want to keep a tradition going but I found moon cakes 🥮 to be kinda intimidating! !! But honestly you made me feel like is sooooo easy omg ! Thank you! Thank you 🙏
Why i only see your video only now. I already made following Cici Li video, oh my mooncake got burned because she said oven temperature is 400F or 210C and only bake 5 minutes. So my mooncake got burned. I really like your video you shared step by step and all your secrets so unselfish. I love you Chef
This is the best method Iʻve come across. The final product was anazingly delicious❤. Thank you, Mindy for sharing your method of making traditional Cantonese moon cakes
I really feel like I could make this now. You explained everything so clearly. I appreciated the verbal and video descriptions as well as the still shots of the text recipe summaries - not everyone does that and it's so helpful. Also appreciated all your tips along the way - I definitely might have tried using a rolling pin but you preempted that thought and explained why hands only was best.
I'm trying this ! I've been subscribed for years and have tried many of your recipes, always great. You've really advanced so far since you began your channel.
Fascinating RUclips algorithm recommendation. I've heard about mooncakes before but it's interesting to see what they really are by seeing how they're made. I also liked how you did the video: clear and concise without being overly simplistic, like you're speaking to peers rather than an aloof or patronizing approach. Quite nice.
Mooncakes are one of my favorite chinese food but only the two egg yolk and those made in Hongkong or San Francisco for quality. Thanks for a very clear step by step cooking instructions, how to choose better ingredients without unnecessary long chinese conversations.
I wanted to start making mooncakes. I love eating them and now I want to learn to make them. You make it sound so easy! Thank you so much for sharing tips and making it easy to understand. Well done! ❤️ 🎉
Thank you for sharing. I like the fact that you are also showing the actual packaging of the ingredients because I cannot read Chinese characters. Mooncake 🥮 is my absolute favorite
honestly seing u n is like having a great teacher ( sifu)in front had really inspired me n hv learnt a great deal from it n I thanked u from bottom of heart for sharing yr tips n excellent experience with us I hv attended classes but all hv not shared their recipes n after watching u n I n saw my mistakes n u hv help solved with it with me! n as I loved moon especially the nuts n lotus paste ones too tk u again may all is well blessed n safe ! thank you again!!👍👍🙏🙏⚘⚘😍🇸🇬

i love your channel. thank you so so much for making these videos. this is the second video of yours that i've watched and your explanations are so good!! wow!!!! you're an amazing cook and an even better teacher.
Thank you fo rsuch detailed explanation. I have asked the substitute for lye water in other videos but I have never obtained an answer. It is nice to have step by step explanations. Very easy to understand and follow. Can't wait to try this out. 😋
Hi ☺️ thank you for sharing. I received my Mooncake mould this week. I waited three months. Could not find most ingredients in my country so had to do homemade version mostly with regards to lye water, syrup and salted egg yolks. I had to opt for red bean paste as filling. This will be my first time tasting Mooncake. Finished baking them two hours ago, they are resting in an airtight container till Sunday afternoon. Tried to add pictures but yes 😂 doesn't seem like I can
My first time to your channel. I’ve been wanting to make moon cakes but never went as far as searching for a recipe. I’m glad I found your channel. I could listen to you all day. Also, this is the best guide to moon cakes I found. Thank you - I’ll be trying it this week! (It’s April but I wanna practice before the actual time is here 😅).
Thank you for the detailed step by step guide. Being in Malaysia. I am spoilt by the hundreds of choices of mooncakes on sale... but none is better than baking them yourselves. I baked the mini ones. the egg yolk is THE star.
Such a superb demonstration of your recipe and making the mooncake. Easy and illustrative teaching. Kudos! keep it up. Wonderful to have you in the industry. Love your recipes and your teachings. Thumbs up.
I have made several of your recipes but I doubt I ever go to the trouble to make these. BUT!!! They look delicious and I want one!! I really enjoy your channel. You are my go to chef when it comes to Chinese food. Thanks!
I've been searching for a clear and informative moon cake video forever! Thank you for explaining in so much detail and taking us through all the steps and substitutions; I can't wait to try this
You're excellent as a tutor, sweet voice and precision was just perfectly executed....love your blogs and I learned a lot from you regarding oriental recipes.... can't wait to watch more interesting and delightful recipes 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Hello Mandy Thank you for your crystal clear, step by step explanation. I have a small 50g mould. Now inspired to try the bigger 100g one. My favourite mooncake has FOUR yolks! Heart attack stuff but it's only once a year! 😂 Best wishes to you from Singapore.
What delicious they are. I agree with you: the Lotus paste- salted egg are the best. I love the flavour of the "skin" of the mooncake: there is nothing like that
This is my favorite every month of september i was buy it in Chinese bakery at China town now i knew it how to make it to bake thank you so much to share this traditional Moon cake recipe more power to your page 🤗🥰👏👏👏👏👏
Honestly, I'll probably never be a good enough cook to make these. But, I *really* enjoy learning about the special ingredients and their uses. Lovely video!
THANKS so much for this recipe Mandy! I've tried it for the first time for mid autumn festival this year! I used liquid honey (from Reunion island where I live, it's a French island😉) and didn't use egg yolks ( I'm not so keen on them)... All my friends said my mooncakes were excellent 😋and refined 😁😁😍😍😍 Last year, I made snow skin custard mooncakes too. Different but good !! 😃
You are too cute! I love your moon cakes. You make them look so beautiful and yummy. Thank you for sharing such a detailed recipe. Taking the time to show us the ingredients you use and how to compare them makes you a good and skillful teacher. I am definitely going to try this recipe. M goi!
I really appreciate the small details, e.g. what type of Lotus seeds works better, because it's those little hints that make things work (or not, if ignorant about them.) Thanks for having learnt the hard way for us😆❤
Thank you for this wonderful mooncake video! I'm not much of a cook even though I am in my sixties, but during this pandemic I've been trying new recipes. My lotus seeds are in the instant pot now! Thank you for your wonderful youtube videos!
2:34 NaOH or sodium hydroxide is not a legal food additive in the US and therefore can't be used by US companies wishing to market their products in the US. Still, it's not dangerous. We have been using lye for pretzels for centuries.
Wow! Certainly not a recipe you'd just STUMBLE onto... They look beautiful I'd love to try one before attempting to even THINK about making them! Thanks for posting
Talk about a labour of love!! Something that I soooo respect is the amount of time some Chinese cuisine takes. Thank you for sharing such a detailed explanation. I want to try the chestnut and mixed seeds uts\fruit types as well. I agree with the one comment about eating it before you can get it assembled lol. : ) Do you think the weights would be very different with the different fillings? There is a real science to flavour balance.
Very detailed and wonderfully made. Thank you! I remember having a mooncake nearly 20 years ago... I can still remember EXACTLY how it tasted--so delicious!
Thank you for sharing. They look so yummy and pretty. I will try to make this. I made the soft dough, no baking, with your recipe, they turn out so tasty. Best wishes and stay in good health.
So nice to see how these are made. The ones with seeds and nuts are our favorite and this year we found them in the small, about 1-1/2" diameter, size. Such a wonderful way to celebrate the beginning of the autumn season. Thank you for sharing.
This is my first time to view such a wonderful, very clear and creating a scenario of how a moon cake is being prepared. I learned a lot and I realized the fact that it’s not easy to make one, thus, justifies the cost of preparing down to its price. Wow, so awesome really. Right now, after viewing, I wanted to grab one piece of the moon cake to satisfy my craving. Xiexie. Hoping for more beautiful and informative videos. Congratulations and more blessings.
I love watching your mooncake tutorials. They look so yummy. Im from South Africa. Many of the ingredients are not available here. Maybe someday I'll be so fortunate to taste a mooncake...
Thank you for watching. I wish that you and your family, just like the round moon on Mid-Autumn Day, be bright and perfect. 中秋节快乐！

I am addicted to mooncakes especially with the lotus paste. Thanks so much for teaching me how to make it. You are such an amazing teacher

Homemade is better flavor and texture. At least my 4 year old will always choose my mooncakes over the store. Haha.
Thanks alot for talking about these ingredients ❤❤❤❤❤❤

@@eirikastokes9652 Why are they so expensive when the ingredients are so cheap?
Returning to this video 1 year later to make mooncakes again for my family who loved them last year! Thank you for this video!!

Wow, the amount of effort and time put into mooncakes is eye opening, but it is worth it! Love this time of the year because of mooncakes!
That's why they're so expensive. $6 a piece would be cheap.
@@violetviolet888 I think it's mostly the cost of ingredients, especially the lotus seed paste and the duck eggs yolks.
You're excellent as a tutor, sweet voice and precision was just perfectly executed....love your blogs and I learned a lot from you regarding oriental recipes.... can't wait to watch more interesting and delightful recipes 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Can' wait to try it. Instructions were explicit and detailed. Thank you.
Hello Mandy
Thank you for your crystal clear, step by step explanation.
I have a small 50g mould. Now inspired to try the bigger 100g one.
My favourite mooncake has FOUR yolks! Heart attack stuff but it's only once a year! 😂
Best wishes to you from Singapore.
tried this! it tasted really good! The wrapper was a bit dry but that was my fault. thank you for sharing!🥰
What delicious they are. I agree with you: the Lotus paste- salted egg are the best. I love the flavour of the "skin" of the mooncake: there is nothing like that

Very good work. Nice video!
And you are a very good and learning teacher

Thank you!
Food is a way to learn about different cultures. Never heard of eggs fixed that way as dessert . So will have to try it soon. Thanks .
My Chinese teacher let my class try some and I feel in love with it😍
THANKS so much for this recipe Mandy! I've tried it for the first time for mid autumn festival this year! I used liquid honey (from Reunion island where I live, it's a French island😉) and didn't use egg yolks ( I'm not so keen on them)... All my friends said my mooncakes were excellent 😋and refined 😁😁😍😍😍 Last year, I made snow skin custard mooncakes too. Different but good !! 😃
Omg!!! Thank you for the well detailed explanation of this recipe. ❤
You are too cute! I love your moon cakes. You make them look so beautiful and yummy. Thank you for sharing such a detailed recipe. Taking the time to show us the ingredients you use and how to compare them makes you a good and skillful teacher. I am definitely going to try this recipe. M goi!
I really appreciate the small details, e.g. what type of Lotus seeds works better, because it's those little hints that make things work (or not, if ignorant about them.)
Thanks for having learnt the hard way for us😆❤
Thank you for this wonderful mooncake video! I'm not much of a cook even though I am in my sixties, but during this pandemic I've been trying new recipes. My lotus seeds are in the instant pot now! Thank you for your wonderful youtube videos!
Its been a long time and finally you're here sharing my favorite moon cake recipe. Thanks for sharing and more power to your youtube channel!
The cute pup reflection in the oven took this video to the next level! :)
(Btw I love your content. Keep it up! ♥)
2:34 NaOH or sodium hydroxide is not a legal food additive in the US and therefore can't be used by US companies wishing to market their products in the US. Still, it's not dangerous. We have been using lye for pretzels for centuries.
Wow! Certainly not a recipe you'd just STUMBLE onto... They look beautiful I'd love to try one before attempting to even THINK about making them! Thanks for posting
Very clear instructions and procedures . It looks perfect and should taste very good.
Thank you for the compliment. Glad you enjoyed the video.
Talk about a labour of love!! Something that I soooo respect is the amount of time some Chinese cuisine takes. Thank you for sharing such a detailed explanation. I want to try the chestnut and mixed seeds
uts\fruit types as well. I agree with the one comment about eating it before you can get it assembled lol. : ) Do you think the weights would be very different with the different fillings? There is a real science to flavour balance.
Very detailed and wonderfully made. Thank you! I remember having a mooncake nearly 20 years ago... I can still remember EXACTLY how it tasted--so delicious!
This is so beautiful. I’m considering making it for my friend, who is Taiwanese, for the Mid-Autumn Festival. Thank you for sharing your expertise. ☺️
Thank you for sharing. They look so yummy and pretty. I will try to make this. I made the soft dough, no baking, with your recipe, they turn out so tasty. Best wishes and stay in good health.
Perfect explanation 💖 Very detailed and full of love. Thank you ❤️
So nice to see how these are made. The ones with seeds and nuts are our favorite and this year we found them in the small, about 1-1/2" diameter, size. Such a wonderful way to celebrate the beginning of the autumn season. Thank you for sharing.
Really like your clear step by step instructions and explanation.
I love your videos! You are so thorough with all the details! Thank you so much for the yummy content!
I like your Video your you explain your recipes in very details, step by step. I will sure try your recipe one day. Thank you for sharing it.
The fact that you translate grams to measurements gives me hope into actually being able to make something like this one day!
This is my first time to view such a wonderful, very clear and creating a scenario of how a moon cake is being prepared. I learned a lot and I realized the fact that it’s not easy to make one, thus, justifies the cost of preparing down to its price. Wow, so awesome really. Right now, after viewing, I wanted to grab one piece of the moon cake to satisfy my craving. Xiexie. Hoping for more beautiful and informative videos. Congratulations and more blessings.
