    June, thank you for sharing this piece of your culture with us. Delish, if you're going to make June go to a lot of effort for content, this is the type of stuff I'd love to see.

    June - I have been an AVID fan of yours for years. I have rewatched every one of your videos at least a dozen times.
    I just went to my local Asian grocery store for the first time and WOW. I actually recognized and knew a lot about so many ingredients, all because of you! ❤ I felt like you were there with me. Thank you for all the joy, knowledge, and culture you share with all of us. You really make a difference.

    As someone who does make mooncakes every single year, this is a really solid recipe. I do keep lye water around for noodles and moon cakes especially but I'll give this pastry a try. A note about the filling, if you want to make yours dairy free, vegetable oil will give you a cleaner flavor, but fats that are solid at room temperature make it easier to work with.

    • @ToshaWilliams-kc9hv

      Where do you purchase the lye water? Since lye is corrosive, do you use gloves when making the moon cakes?

    @arosegaming4793 2 года назад +3

    I had an idea for budget eats! You always do so much with so little, I'd love to see a 'luxury' edition, where you get double your usual budget for one week so you can use pricier ingredients (think beef over chicken type thing, not like Wagyu beef over hamburger patties, that wouldn't be budget eats at all lol.) I'd also love to see you making one or more bento boxes and your thought process for what items and seasonings to pick- since the heart of a bento box is eating the food cold or room temperature, and you have a limited space to fit all the elements of a meal including carb, protein, and sides such as fruit and veggies, into not a small space per se, but its generally a tight squeeze.

  • @abbiem3231
    @abbiem3231 2 года назад +5

    Every year I love going to my local Asian grocer and seeing stacks of mooncake tins in all flavours as tall as me! It really is a hallmark of the Autumn season for me now. My favourite filling is lotus seeds, sometimes with the yolk, sometimes without. You make the recipe look so easy... I really want to try now!

  • @rachelong3755
    @rachelong3755 2 года назад +4

    My mom actually taught me to split a mooncake into 8 pieces using the petals on the edge as a guide. Then we would only eat one piece a day during the week leading up to Mid-Autumn. It makes a lot of sense now: if they take basically a full week to prepare, I can see why you would want to savor them for just as long! They are also a very rich dessert by Chinese standards, so I'm sure it has to do with portion sizing as well.

    Sorry all you other Delish people but June is my favorite, if you guys were honest you'd probably all love her most too. I love watching the videos she's in. OK, yah sometimes she's a wee bit weird but it's the right kinda weird. Thank you for letting her be part of your online family. Pretty sure she's a fan favorite.

  • @TheLadyLuck523
    @TheLadyLuck523 2 года назад +3

    Thanks for breaking the recipe down into manageable parts! I love double yolk moon cakes. Slight preference to the red bean but the lotus seed is tasty too. The mix of the sweet and salty is so good. Remember guys! It's very rich. With the small ones that June made I'd have a half of that one as dessert. With the standard size ones I'd have only a quarter of it.

  • @fabioconsonni3232
    @fabioconsonni3232 2 года назад

    Hallo from Italy.
    I made a lot of mooncakes, with a lot of traditional and creative fillings. Made them from scratch (even the salted eg yolks). My favourite is the classic lotus paste/egg yolk, but a cocoa muffin paste/dried apricot is also very good. I love those filled with rusui, with chestnuts, with violet sweet potatoes, with red adzuki... I could go on and on. This is the first time I see the skin of the mooncake made with those ingredients: I use to make it with flour, jianshui, golden syrup and oil and et it rest for at least two hours.
    Fantastic cake!!

    growing up in NorCal and then living in Korea for 5 years, I guess the type of moon cakes we had were Taiwanese because they never had an egg yolk in the middle, but the fillings were super interesting, black sesame and mango and green tea were my favorite

  • @t0xicichig0
    @t0xicichig0 2 года назад +1

    We always get moon cakes when we were younger because my paternal grandma is a Chinese teacher in a Chinese school. Her students and co teachers plus the school itself gives moon cakes and rice cakes every new year. We play Moon cake festival games too were we threw dices and get prices depending on the pattern. Good ol' days ❤️ my grandma is still alive but she is retired now and resides in San Francisco. Nowadays we have to buy our own moon cake if we want to. No more giveaways. I would try this when I moved out next year when I get my own kitchen.
