This is very step by step video. Thank you. Should it be put in the freezer if i going to use it the next day?

[@MyKitchen101en]

Yes, freeze the paste, return to room temperature before using.

Hi, may I ask if I want to make more, can I just double up all the ingredients? Thanks

[@MyKitchen101en]

Yes.

MyKitchen101en Thank you

[@judielin8031]

Thank you for sharing your recipe. May I ask if the stove fire should be in low or in medium?

[@MyKitchen101en]

Cook over medium heat for about 30 minutes, stirring constantly until a smooth and shiny paste formed. Cooking time may vary.

This can use Asian style pancake, thanks

[@sharongautama7046]

Hi! Seems like the paste was too soft and my mooncake couldn't stand up right after I baked it. Any ideas what I could do? Thanks!

[@MyKitchen101en]

Filling use for mooncake should be dry as shown in the video. The paste should be able to hold the shape on its own. The skin of the mooncake is soft and very thin, it is not able to provide much support to the structure. Follow the recipe as it is and cook until it reach the consistency as shown in video.

@@MyKitchen101en After soaking the beans can I store them? I didn't know that I have to wait two weeks before using my golden syrup as I already started soaking my beans.

[@MyKitchen101en]

You may cook the red bean paste first and freeze for later use. Return to room temperature before using.

Hi, can I use this red bean paste for tang yuan(Chinese dumpling)? Thank you.

[@MyKitchen101en]

Yes, but this is less sweet version. For red bean filling for bread, pao, alkaline dumpling or tang yuan, you may refer another red bean paste recipe: mykitchen101en.com/how-to-cook-smooth-red-bean-paste/

Hi,thank you for your quick reply.😊😊

I don’t have glutinous rice flour, any substitute?

I haven't tried with other yet.

Can this paste used for mochi and Pao too?

[@MyKitchen101en]

Yes, should be ok.

[@zharkynai-maratova]

what can I replace glutinous rice flour?

[@MyKitchen101en]

Haven't tried with other yet.

[@dwi5759]

Hi dear, i reduce the sugar to 80g, 200g it's to much for me, do it's will change the texture? Or I need to give the glutinous flour more or I need to cook it more longer to make it hard like yours? Thank you

[@MyKitchen101en]

I have not tried with such low sugar, the paste might be more crumbly, slightly increase the glutinous rice flour if that the case.

[@dwi5759]

@@MyKitchen101en yes it is, so hard to make it round :'( I'll try to add more glutinous rice, thankyou ^_^

[@novitatjung5030]

Hi dear, 15glutinous rice flour =...tbsp ?

[@MyKitchen101en]

Not sure, you may need to find the conversion online.

[@ellaapril194]

What is the difference between this one and the other red bean paste recipe you have?

[@MyKitchen101en]

This is less sweet, suitable for mooncake. The other is sweeter, used for filling for pao, bread...

[@MyKitchen101en]

Filling for mooncake should be slightly dryer, it should be able to hold the shape as shown in video.

[@ellaapril194]

@@MyKitchen101en alright thank you for clarification.

[@littlemidget4764]

Helloooo has anyone tried cooking the beans in pressure cooker to save time? I dunno if I should put the same amount of water. Any ideas guys? Help please?

[@MyKitchen101en]

You may put less water, as long as it doesn't dry up.

[@littlemidget4764]

@@MyKitchen101en OK thanks for the reply. Wish me luck! This is my first time making mooncake. Been living in England for 18 years! I've tried many of your recipes when I miss home food. I'm originally from Indonesia. We do have mooncakes here in Chinese shops but I want to make it myself so I can reduce the amount of sugar. I've followed your recipe on the salted chicken eggs. Let's hope it will turn out okay 👌

[@MyKitchen101en]

@@littlemidget4764 Try not to reduce too much or it will affect the texture.

[@littlemidget4764]

@@MyKitchen101en hiya I used a slow cooker instead and put 500ml water. Turned out really nice!! Consistency is perfect just like yours in the video. I'm going to use it for mooncake. And I've also followed your recipe on the salted egg . I'm leaving it longer to make sure it's salty enough tho. Thanks for the recipe xx
