[@zindyluu]

Hi chi Trang I just went to pacific market here in Portland and was told that FDA did not allow any of the roasted flour from VN in to the states. which is the reason the stores for now does not have the pre-packaged bags.

[@RunAwayRice]

+Zindy luu That explains the shortage this year! Thanks for the research!👍

[@RunAwayRice]

Awesome, please stop back to share your results. I'd love to hear about it.

[@l337g0g0]

They were amazing Thank you. My girlfriend and her family loved them. I didn't have a scale, so i rolled the doe in one big long tube, and folded it and cut evenly into 6 pieces to get my 12 portions of doe proper. ;) And I guess the size of filling and the early ones were a bit big, the last ones were perfect, but couldn't make 12 cause I messed up the filling at the start. Next time I'll have a scale. :) I surprised my Chinese girlfriend with these on the Mid-Autumn Festival. I was planning to make these for months, and bought a 4 set mold set, 3 were Chinese writing, and one was a heart...

[@l337g0g0]

Ohh and she bought me one with persevered egg yolk and lotus. She said this one is the traditional one. :P :D

[@marypham7243]

Hello, Chi. What brand of syrup that you used? Can I have the brand please. Where can I buy it? Thanks chi nhieu.

[@RunAwayRice]

Hi Mary, I use the Safeway brand breakfast syrup in this recipe. They have 2 varieties: Old-Fashioned and Original Syrup. Both work well for this recipe. (Depending on where you live Safeway stores are called Von's.) Hope that helps!

[@sriasia3634]

Hi, can i use honey to replace the sugar syrup for moon cake? Thanks,

[@RunAwayRice]

I've found honey makes the dough really sticky. Use the breakfast (pancake) syrup, Lyle's golden syrup or agave nectar. Good Luck!

[@sriasia3634]

@@RunAwayRice okay and noted with so much of thanks.

[@dslrlearner5890]

vo banh cua em bi cug qua chi?nhan banh thi ngon.

[@RunAwayRice]

+DSLR Learner Hi em, if you let the cakes rest and they did not soften, next time around, you can try adding more vegetable oil or using another brand of syrup when making the dough. Good Luck!

[@jadehuynh4280]

Hello, I was wondering if the smell of the syrup was overpowering or distinct after baking? I have the same syrup from Von's but I'm not a fan of the smell. I've read that honey can be used as a substitute for golden syrup but I have not seen anyone use it.

[@RunAwayRice]

+Jade Huynh Hi Jade, sorry to hear you didn't like the syrup. Typically, the aroma of the cakes is from the sesame oil that is used in the egg wash. Did you use an egg wash? For the syrup, did you use the original or the old-fashioned with molasses and brown sugar?

[@chihaibe69]

Hi chi Trang, what kind or branch name cake flour should I use? Thanks chi 😀

[@RunAwayRice]

Chào cô , cám ơn cô đã chia sẽ công thức làm bánh , xin cho tôi hỏi hiệu nước đường cô dùng là hiệu nào , cám ơn cô nhiều.

Hi Trang, I bought the syrup at Von's/Safeway stores. It's the Safeway brand of breakfast syrup labelled "Original Syrup". The "Old-Fashioned Syrup" also works well. Good Luck!

+Kay Moua Hi Kay, I am not sure which dumpling soup you mean. Can you describe it more? What is the filling made of? Noodle soup? vegetable soup?

[@amypetit5533]

Thanks for this great recipe! Can I ask why you recommend leaving out for 24 hours after baking?

[@amypetit5533]

I just baked mine and I have a quick question. Instead of using syrup, I use the agave sweetener. My dough turns out to be so dry after baking. Please advise. Thanks!

[@RunAwayRice]

The resting period allows the cake to soften and the flavors to meld.

[@emeraldtabbycat148]

I'm curious. Is it possible to place peanutbutter into a moon cake?

[@RunAwayRice]

I think you can definitely make a peanut butter filling but may need to mix it with something else to make it easier to roll.

[@emeraldtabbycat148]

I'm guessing the same would go for a pumpkin pie filler?

[@RunAwayRice]

Pumpkin pie filling works great and it's really delish! Check out this video I shared earlier on how to make a pumpkin pie filling ball. You can then use the filling for the mooncakes kzbin.info/www/bejne/fZjReoetaZJ_ic0 Good Luck!

[@zindyluu]

Hi chi Trang I can't buy roasted Glutinous flour here can I substitute it with something else?

[@RunAwayRice]

+Zindy luu Hi Zindy, roasted glutinous rice flour is very unique. There are no substitutes but you can skip it if you can't find it. (It helps the filling stick together.) Just roll into balls while the filling is hot. Good Luck!

[@moymoy123ish]

Should we use lye water? I saw other recipe use it, so I wonder about.

[@RunAwayRice]

I don't use lye water in my recipe.

[@mparthur144]

Corn flour to combine the ingredients?

[@jacquelineissenmann1045]

Hello..thank you for sharing! I'd like to try but I have several "problems" I live in a small town in France so Asian products are not handy! For the coconut, can I use the dessicated one - soak in water (maybe)? For the syrup, is that pancake syrup? Can I replace it with just some granulated sugar and some water or just sugar cane syrup? (The French don't eat pancakes. They eat crêpes with nutella or powdered sugar and not maple syrup) And, what is cooked glutinous rice flour? Is that the flour that has been heated in the oven or frying pan? Thank you in advance for your reply! Warm hello from France!

[@RunAwayRice]

Hi Jacqueline, your small French town sounds just lovely. For the coconut, yes, you can use the dessicated variety and rehydrate with a bit of water. The syrup is pancake syrup. Feel free to substitute it with any available syrup. Someone mentioned they tried honey and it worked well. Sugar cane syrup would work as well. "Cooked glutinous rice flour" is glutinous rice flour which is roasted and is fully cooked. It has a wonderful roasted rice aroma and is a binder for the filling. As a substitute for this, please replace with 1 Tbsp corn starch or all-purpose flour. I love that you're willing to adapt a recipe to what's locally available! I hope you stopped back to share your results. Good Luck!

[@jacquelineissenmann1045]

Thank you for the reply! I'll try it when I get to order the molds (having a hard time choosing the designs :)) The glutinous rice I have doesn't say "cooked" on the package and the ingredients which are glutinous rice and water don't say it being cooked either. Does that mean I need to find one which says so on the package? Can I assume it's cooked or maybe I can heat it in the oven or frying pan? Or how about tapioca flour? Will let you know once I make them. Cheers...

[@RunAwayRice]

Cooked glutinous rice flour is difficult to find unless you have a well-stocked, larger Asian grocer. If the package isn't labelled "cooked" or "roast" or "fried", it's the raw glutinous rice flour. I've tried cooking raw glutinous race flour at home (pan-fry and steaming) and it's not right. The flour still tastes very raw and shouldn't be used. I hope that helps. Cheers!

[@jaeboy19]

Can I use something else besides peanut oil?

[@RunAwayRice]

Hi, Yes. I recommend a mild tasting vegetable oil like canola, corn or soy bean.

[@kimmyphung2237]

I'm having trouble finding the pomelo essence. What can I use to substitute or where could I find it?

[@georgcantor7172]

According to Wikipedia, Pomelo belongs to the Citrus family, and its scientific name is Citrus Maximus because it looks like a huge grapefruit. Wiki states that Citrus Maximus tastes like a mild grapefruit. So maybe you can use a grapefruit instead. I'm not crazy about grapefruit; but I love oranges, lemons, and limes. So, if I were going to make a coconut mooncake; I'd use the juice of an orange, lemon, or lime instead. :)

[@stephanieellis4919]

+georg cantor. Thank you! I will try orange or lemon too.

You can purchase pomelo essence at the Vietnamese grocery store. But if you can't find it, substitute with another citrus essence or extract. Good Luck!

May I know baking time for 50 gram cake?

[@RunAwayRice]

Bake for about 6-7 minutes. Good Luck!

Can you use "tropical starch" in place of cook glutinous flour?

[@RunAwayRice]

I believe this is either tapioca starch or arrowroot starch. Unfortunately, these are raw starches and cannot be substituted for cooked glutinous rice flour.

[@xuanlam7040]

Jaclyn Nguyen you can make your own cooked glutinous rice flour . Put reg glutinous rice flour . 100 grams or 200 grams in a baking pan . Heat oven 300 degrees F bake . 10 min stir it even . Repeat 3 time will be ok . Will see the colour change .
