Mooncakes are not as difficult to make as you might think! Why not make your very own homemade mooncakes at home this year? Traditional baked mooncakes, a Chinese bakery product, are usually eaten during the Mid-Autumn festival. This festival is also known as the Moon Cake Festival (Zhong Qiu Jie 中秋节 ), because a special kind of sweet cake (yue bing 月饼) prepared in the shape of the moon and filled with sesame seeds, ground lotus seeds and duck eggs is served as a traditional Chung Chiu delicacy. Mooncakes are regarded as an indispensable delicacy on the occasion and are offered between friends and relatives when celebrating the festival.
There are indeed many varieties of mooncakes available today. However, my favourite mooncake would still be the simple traditional baked mooncakes filled with lotus seed paste and 1 egg yolk or better still, 2 egg yolks with the skin baked and glazed to a shiny golden brown. The salted egg yolk in the middle of the mooncake symbolizes the full moon. These mooncakes are quite filling and they are usually cut diagonally into small wedges and shared.
---------------------------------------­------------------------------
其实，做月饼并没有想象中的复杂！今年在家里亲手准备月饼吧！传统的烤月饼是一种中式烘培食品，也是中秋节的节令食品。农历八月十五，中秋节也被称为月饼节。月饼是一种特殊的传统甜糕，如满月的形状，里头有芝麻，莲蓉与鸭蛋。月饼是中秋节的必备食品，也是送给亲朋戚友的佳节礼品。
如今的月饼有各种各类的花样。但是，最经典的月饼仍然是传统的烘月饼，简单的莲蓉内馅再加上一粒咸蛋黄，更好的当然是双黄，再烘至漂亮的金黄色。月饼中的咸蛋黄象征的是满月。月饼吃起来是相当的腻，所以人们平时都会把月饼切成小片，再和亲友们一起享用。

Best snack. My friends mom made these they are so good. I cant find them here.

[@Huangkitchen]

Thanks for your comment. Enjoy!

[@GraceLum]

What about red bean filling?

[@lolodee3528]

So, the snow skin type mooncake is more like a fondant or fudgy candy sort of confection.

[@nini8112]

Thanks

[@TheYaya1971]

If you don''t have alkaline water, is there any substitute for alkaline?

[@TinyewPoon]

put baking soda into boiling hot water, or microwave the water with baking soda in it, after the bubble gone and the water cool down , you'll get the alkaline water.

[@王愛玲-v7r]

Huang Kitchen. Thanks for letting me know. I am living in Australia. They don't sell the product here. My brother lives in Hong Kong. I ask him to buy it for me. The Lotus mooncake you made look so yummy and beautiful👍

[@Huangkitchen]

+Jenny Wong Homemade mooncakes are always the best 👍😄. Thanks for viewing. Enjoy!

[@王愛玲-v7r]

+Huang Kitchen Yes it's true. Last year I made the 75gm lotus mooncake I send to my cousin and chinese friends, teachers and doctors they say 月餅很好吃! This year a family more busy to make mooncake.

[@meckamistoso6562]

Huang may I ask how to make salted egg used in that recipe thank you. I love mooncake

[@minibrowndog7532]

Hi there you done a wonderful job by making the mooncake look so stunning,it looks so tasty and lotus paste filling and salted egg yolk are my favorite , i really want to give it a try but where can i find alkaline water in malaysia.Another question i wanna ask, is possible to use pumpkin seed instead of melon seed.Thanks so much !!!😅😄

[@Huangkitchen]

+Kimmy Seah If in Malaysia, alkaline water is easily available in most Asian grocery stores. Its also called lye water or air abu. Yes, I will say you can use pumpkin seeds in the lotus paste but they will be bigger in size and may have a little difficulty cutting through the mooncake. Otherwise, I think its fine. Actually the melon seeds are optional. Some mooncakes dont have it in them. Hope this helps. Thanks for viewing our channel. Enjoy!

[@minibrowndog7532]

+Huang Kitchen when comes to mooncakes,i like little crunch as well so i will put some seed in it.By the way ,thanks so much for reply back , that help a lot and yours cooking channel are favorite malaysia cuisine channel.😉

[@Huangkitchen]

+Kimmy Seah Thanks and stay tuned. 👍

[@cecilia2737]

[@E100035]

Can I replace golden syrup with Honey ?

[@luminariel3765]

Gorgeous

[@peacenowar4309]

the flour after rest 4 hours just knead and mix together , or just for dusting on the working space ?,

[@Huangkitchen]

+Peace NO War yes, just knead the flour mixture after rested 4 hours into a firm dough.

[@cocong3091]

老师请问一下你用的是多少g的模型？谢谢你

[@theLizc]

may i know what is the size of your mooncake mould?

[@王愛玲-v7r]

What size mould do you use? last year I order the adjustable mould 200 gm and 125 gm from aliexpress pay money but the product didn't come, just the size mould 75 gm I received...Where I can buy the mould?

[@Huangkitchen]

+Jenny Wong The mould I used for the baked traditional mooncakes is 200gm. You can actually adjust the size of your mooncakes according to the size of mould. I usr the ratio of skin: filling = 4:6. Eg If u use the 75g mould, then I will use 30g skin and 45g filling. The moulds are available in most chinese bakery shops that sells baking ingredients. Leg me know if u still gave problem buying and i will see if i can help. Thanks for viewing.

[@jbabella45]

Super !!! thanks

[@Huangkitchen]

+Jesus Abella thanks for viewing. 😄

[@Esgrth]

This is awesome

[@Huangkitchen]

+John Esgarth thanks for viewing. Enjoy!

[@ckrislozway]

Hi can i ask why 120g is to add on after 4 hours ? pls advice thanks

[@Huangkitchen]

Its a method to get a smooth and soft mooncake dough skin. You can also try my other mooncake recipes where all the flour is added together with the golden syrup, oil and alkaline water.

[@ckrislozway]

@@Huangkitchen thanks for rely will watch more others video.. appreciate the effort..

[@jenjtsh]

My. Mold is 180gm, can I use this recipe, the filling and skin ratio?

[@Huangkitchen]

Yes, you can. Try mooncake skin 60g and filling + egg 120g.

[@jenjtsh]

@@Huangkitchen Thanks so much for your reply...

[@talentvinmusic3370]

Tq for the video.may I know how can we get the yolk oil seen flowing after cutting the mooncake.

[@oliviacrown3571]

Please help where to buy the moulder

[@sallyfern2765]

I'm from Malaysia. Why Mooncake skin become sticky/wet after 2 days?

[@Huangkitchen]

+Sally Fern It is advised to leave the mooncakes a few days before consumption to allow the oil i side to be released to the surface and infuses the outer layer of dough hence making the texture soft and moist. Hope this helps to clarify. Enjoy!

[@aspire1]

where did u get mooncake press from?

[@raysashi6395]

Hai if used 75gm mould..how much dough to use

[@Huangkitchen]

Skin 25g filling+salted egg yolk 50g

[@anneshiao988]

請問那裡可以買到蓮容，還有月餅Mould.

[@jessicateh2314]

How many mooncake can be made with that quantity?

[@Huangkitchen]

+Jessica Teh It all depends on the size of the mould you use. Do check in on the notes for making Traditional Baked Mooncakes in my website at www.huangkitchen.com/traditional-baked-mooncakes/ to know the size of the mould you are using and the details. Thanks

[@anonymous-zk3mi]

never eaten them, are they good?

[@Huangkitchen]

+Finnel Gudenz Yes, you should try them. Its eaten as a chinese dessert once in a year during the mooncake festival. It has a doughy fragrant sweet skin, sweet and savory filling because of the salted egg yolk. A great accompaniment with brewed hot chinese tea.

[@orchidpassion7042]

hi, how to keep the bean paste from contamination for long time??

[@Huangkitchen]

+Orchid Passion It must be kept air tight. Enjoy!

[@sammyli6073]

what is the use of alkaline water? can I replace it with tap water or cooled down boiled water?

[@Huangkitchen]

+Sammy Li 4. Alkaline water is a very important component in this recipe. It neutralizes the acid in the golden syrup so there will be no sour taste in the moon cakes. It also helps in browning and making the skin of mooncakes soft and fluffy. You can't replace with tap water or boiled water. Hope this helps.

[@sammyli6073]

+Huang Kitchen thank you for replying, I was wondering what alkaline water did you use in this video/which alkaline water would you recommend?

[@Huangkitchen]

+Sammy Li It's also known as lye water (kan sui) available in most Asian stores. No specific brand. Thanks.

[@meipotote5731]

Where did you buy moulds from please?

[@Huangkitchen]

Depending on where you live, you can get the moulds from Asian bakery shops, or get them online too.

[@nicole6467]

Can I don't use the salted egg

[@Huangkitchen]

+Nicole Ong sure you can. Some prefer no eggs, so its vegetarian mooncakes. Just increase the amount of filling in it. Enjoy!

[@fenniekoh2818]

Hi, if my mould is 125g, how i count the weight for paste and filling? This is my 1st time to make mooncake, so i don't know how to count the weigh for each ( 125g mould )..

[@Huangkitchen]

+FeNniE KoH Since its your first time, use the ratio of 4:6 skin to filling. That means 50g skin and 75g filling. If you are adding salted egg yolk, then its the total weight of paste + yolk = 75g. Hope this helps. Thanks for viewing. Good luck & enjoy!

[@fenniekoh2818]

+Huang Kitchen thank you very much... Will make tomorrow... Hope can success...😁

[@Huangkitchen]

+FeNniE KoH do share with us your mooncake creation 👍. Enjoy!

[@fenniekoh2818]

+Huang Kitchen hi, thanks for the recipe.. Im done with ur recipe... All saying nice... Hehehe...😁😁😁

[@Huangkitchen]

FeNniE KoH Glad to you. Enjoy!

[@evertime123]

I had my first mooncake at my colleges international food festival yesterday, I can't wait to make my own!

[@Huangkitchen]

+evertime123 Thanks for viewing.😄

[@flinflon6601]

is there any way to substitute the golden syrup? I can't seem to find any!

[@Huangkitchen]

+Maya Satwant you can replace with honey. Choose one that's transparent, runny and not too strong taste. Hope this helps. Enjoy!

[@flinflon6601]

ok thanks for the help! great video!

[@Huangkitchen]

+Maya Satwant thanks. Enjoy!

[@Evelyn-ly4qx]

Can that water be replaced by smth else ? Its like we dont have it in my country and im using honey instead of gloden syrup does it work ? T^T and thnk u so much *.* looks good

[@Huangkitchen]

+Cristal Wu You can replace with honey but choose one that is runny, transparent and not too strong in taste. The alkaline water gives the mooncake a beautiful golden crust. You can skip it if its not available, the mooncake will only have a lighter colour. Thanks for viewing.

[@hellshet]

hi why do we need to set aside the dough for 4 hours?

[@Huangkitchen]

+Al Huang you need to rest the soft dough skin so that its pliable and able to wrap the mooncake filling. Thanks for viewing. Enjoy!

[@hellshet]

+Huang Kitchen hi thanks for the reply. i was trying it out yesterday and the finished product is ok except the pastry crust doesn't stick to the filling. it kinda separates once i slice it or even before slicing the top part is sort of inflated.

[@hellshet]

+Huang Kitchen aside from the wrapping technique. i wasnt able to set aside the dough for 4 hours due to time constraint i used the pastry immediately after mixing and the dough i was able to produce was a bit thicker in consistency and seems drier than in the video. does this have anything to do with my pastry being inflated after baking? or all points to the wrapping technique?

[@Huangkitchen]

+Al Huang you need to rest the dough before working on it. Anyway, I have another mooncake recipe going to be posted this weekend where you only need to rest the dough for 30 mins. Hope this can help to address your time constraint. But you must make sure to wrap the dough over the filling in the manner mention earlier. Good luck. Enjoy!

[@hellshet]

+Huang Kitchen thank you so much for the help. will do what you suggest and will let you know what happens. 😁

You can for me know your moon cake mold . How many gram ?

[@Huangkitchen]

Kim Tran Its 190g

[@jenjtsh]

@@Huangkitchen but your written notes mentioned 170gm mold. Which is correct?

[@yellowjacketsgamer]

what is a golden syrun? where do I get it?

[@Huangkitchen]

+Feneud Hedd Golden syrup is actually light treacle. It gives the mooncakes a nice brownish crust without over baking them. It can be store bought or homemade. The brand name available in US is LYLES. It's normally found in the international foods section. Hope this helps.

[@yellowjacketsgamer]

Huang Kitchen thanks ,I will look for it :)

[@thepurplecollection]

May I know how many grams for the filling and skin if I'm using 50g mold?

[@THUYNGUYEN-tv7xs]

Hi there, you didn't mention the size of the mold. what size did you use for your recipe?

[@Huangkitchen]

+THUY NGUYEN My size mould is 170g. However, it depends on the size of the mould you are using. If you check on my website, I mention the ratio of 4:6 skin to filling. So you first determine the weight of your mould by putting some skin dough into the mould to the brim. Then use the ratio recommended. Hope this helps. Thanks.

[@cowlin5433]

May I know how long can I keep the mooncake skin in the fridge?

[@Huangkitchen]

+Cow Lin Not sure if you can keep the mooncake skin as never tried. Not advisable though as it may dry out so it may be difficult to wrap the lotus paste. Just make as much mooncake skin dough as needed and if there is excess, perhaps you can make the doll mooncakes. Hope this helps. Thanks for viewing.

现在木制月饼模比较难买得到。若你去新加坡，可以去Phoon Huat, 或Chinatown里的厨房用品老店看一下。最重要的是选刻纹比较深的餅模，效果就会很棒。

[@sjmat3793]

Why r those eggs covered with charcoal?

[@Huangkitchen]

+SJ Mathi its actually salted charcoal paste to make the salted eggs instead of using brine solution. Hope this helps to answer your question. Thanks

[@sjmat3793]

Though i ate them in moon cakes ,i never realize they were 'salted eggs' (never heard too) .Just seen salted version preparation.Got it.Thanks

You should keep for about 5 days before cutting to eat. And it can keep for weeks. You can also chill in the refrigerator and leave to room temperature before consume.

[@telvinciby1977]

what size mold press was used?

[@Huangkitchen]

+Telvin Ciby For this recipe its a 170g mould. Every mould press is different. To get the size, you just fill the mould with the mooncake dough (skin). Then you weigh to get the weight. After that you use the ratio of eg 4:6 that is 4 parts for the skin & 6 parts for filling. Weight of salted eggs has to be taken into account if use. Hope this helps. Thanks for viewing.
