White Lotus Paste Recipe for Mooncake | MyKitchen101en

[@JenSpice]

I'm making mooncakes this year! Of course we have the Hong Kong cakes in reserve should it all go wrong. Thank you so much for this recipe, the lotus paste was sold out and I was going to have to get 'creative' but lotus paste is my favorite filing for these! I also made mooncake shower steamers with the press! Love the beautiful designs. Big thumbs up from one Creator to another! 🥮Jen

[@lannguy7545]

yum! I like all your paste recipes 😋

[@chengwon]

Good video. May I know the reason for adding glutinous rice flour?

[@MyKitchen101en]

For the stickiness, with it the paste will be crumbly.

[@tamikaallison2492]

Awesome! Is this the same paste to make flowers ?

[@jenicegunawan1296]

Thank you for sharing this recipe, can I used golden syrup instead of the sugar?

[@MyKitchen101en]

Haven't tried that.

Hi My kitchen 101en. White lotus paste. Can i put some Pandan juice. How many Pandan leave blend ml water. Now i waiting u reply me ok thanks

[@MyKitchen101en]

You may try draining out the water from cooked lotus, blend with 2-3 pieces of pandan and extract the juice, then add back to cooked lotus and blend, see how is the result.

[@MackerelCat]

This has always been my favourite bean paste and I’m so happy now I know how to make it!!!!

[@wonghewyeng1459]

Hi, what should i add into if i would like to try to do pandan lotus paste?

[@MyKitchen101en]

You may try adding pandan juice to glutinous rice flour (instead of water).

Is this is for inside or the skin of mooncake. Do you have any recipe's for "skins"? Thanks P.S. I made a snow skin mooncake with purple yam filing and it was amazing

[@MyKitchen101en]

Excuse me, If I use fresh lotus seeds how many grams should be used ? Thanks a lot

[@MyKitchen101en]

No sure about fresh seeds, you may try 200g and adjust the sweetness accordingly.

[@tranhoangman6372]

I will try, thank you so much

[@meylin9221]

Can I reduce the sugar? Thanks so much sis.

[@MyKitchen101en]

Most of my recipe are already using minimum sugar, reducing further might affect the texture.

[@meylin9221]

@@MyKitchen101en oh okay 👌 thanks so much 👍 sis.

[@lgwkevin1]

Possible to sub the sugar for honey instead?

[@MyKitchen101en]

Honey is not suitable I think.

@@MyKitchen101en OK thanks!

[@falanke1]

thanks. i have tried. how long can i store it?

[@MyKitchen101en]

Try to freeze it, up to 1 week.

@@MyKitchen101en you mean freezer right?

[@MyKitchen101en]

Yes.

[@LinhHoang-zi9mt]

Thank you so much. I'll make this for mooncakes!

[@olgarakoto5728]

hi, it takes too long to cook the paste, why not reduce the water before mixing ?

[@chanmummy]

Hi, my lotus pastes is alittle oily because my pan is non stick pan.So can I use oily lotus paste or do I need filter oil? please reply to me.

[@MyKitchen101en]

You may remove the excess oil.

[@chanmummy]

Thanks for reply My lotus paste is not sticky ,I think over cook. Any solutions?

[@MyKitchen101en]

Try adding some water and cook again, see if it works.

[@ropetshop2775]

Hi, why is my paste become crumbly after I put it in the refrigerator?

[@MyKitchen101en]

Try to freeze the paste for storage, return to room temperature before using.

[@louisetieh4845]

Hello. I cooked this paste till a smooth paste is form but it kept weeping oil. Is it too much oil or is that normal?

[@MyKitchen101en]

How much oil did you add? It shouldn't have too much oil coming out.

[@louisetieh4845]

MyKitchen101en hello. I followed the same amount. I actually did a 2nd batch and this time took it out of the pan once it reached dough consistency. Could it be the first one, I overcooked and it started weeping? Because I tried to use the first batch, it’s so dry now...

[@MyKitchen101en]

Don't chill the paste, freezing is better, return to room temperature before using. If you chill it, it will become dry.

[@ginating4860]

Why is the paste too soft? Is it because i didnt cook it long enough? Can i still save the paste and recook it and make it stiffer?

[@MyKitchen101en]

Yes, you need to cook until drier. You may try.

[@ropetshop2775]

Can I add maltose to this recipe?

[@MyKitchen101en]

I haven't tried that yet.

[@wendyward2585]

How long do you let the cooked seeds cool before you use the hand blender?

[@MyKitchen101en]

About 10 minutes.

[@fooalice5478]

Hi, Is it possible to cut down sugar to 50gm only?

[@MyKitchen101en]

The texture might be affected if too little sugar is added, you may need to add more oil for a smoother paste.

[@wendyward2585]

What is the brand and size [cm? ml?] is the saucepan that is used to cook the lotus seeds? It looks very durable.

[@MyKitchen101en]

The 28-cm frying pan, same as the one for red bean mooncake.

[@wendyward2585]

the fry pan is used to dry out the paste. The saucepan is used to cook the seeds. It looks live a stainless steel saucepan

[@louisetieh4845]

Hi. My paste is quite hard to roll. Is it because I undercook it?

[@louisetieh4845]

I mean when I try to roll, it’s a bit soft...

[@MyKitchen101en]

If it is too soft, cook it a little longer, otherwise the mooncake shape will no hold very well.

[@louisetieh4845]

MyKitchen101en ok, so ok to recook the paste again?

[@MyKitchen101en]

@@louisetieh4845 You may try.

[@louisetieh4845]

MyKitchen101en also another thing, if I continue cooking for too long, oil starts to weep out from the dough, that means it’s overcooked?

[@evangeline2846]

Hi I try and follow the instructions, how come my paste still look dry and cracked and not smooth as urs one? Any solution?

[@MyKitchen101en]

Do not make any changes to the recipe, follow as it is. Detail recipe at mykitchen101en.com/lotus-seeds-mooncake-paste-recipe-white-lotus-paste/

[@evangeline2846]

I never change any step or the instructions

[@MyKitchen101en]

Are you using normal pan to cook? You may need more oil if not using non-stick pan. Do not reduce the amount of sugar too as it will affect the paste too.

[@-shell--5262]

Hi, if I make a half recipe of this then should I reduce the boiling time? Thank you 😊

[@MyKitchen101en]

You need to cook until it is very soft to get a smooth paste. Probably not much time reduction.

[@-shell--5262]

Thank you so much for your reply, already tried this.. It's really delicious 😋❤️ thanks again for this recipe 💕💕

[@sarahsabol5474]

Do you have any recommendations on the brand of lotus seeds? Also, can they be purchased from Amazon?

[@MyKitchen101en]

I bought from grocery shop, there is no brand, not sure if it is available at Amazon.

[@irenethong8656]

Hi, how can I incorporate fresh pandan juice to make pandan flavour lotus paste? Tq 🙏🏻

[@MyKitchen101en]

[@cindyyee5142]

Hi, if want mix lotus paste with pandan can know how much pandan extract needed?

[@MyKitchen101en]

I haven't use pandan extract before, you may try with 1/2 tsp first, add more if not enough.

[@cindyyee5142]

Okay, thank you.

[@donnakhiong]

Hi. What is the glutinous rice flour for? Can I omit it?

[@MyKitchen101en]

Glutinous rice flour will yield sticky texture, else the paste will be easily crumbles.

[@donnakhiong]

[@MrAlvinSinfulSong]

If i want to infuse flavours into already made paste, how do I achieve that?

[@MyKitchen101en]

Not sure what you mean, do you need to add other flavor to a store-bought paste?

[@MrAlvinSinfulSong]

@@MyKitchen101en yeah or if I already made the past previously and I want to add in a flavour.

[@MyKitchen101en]

For homemade paste with different flavor, the flavor is added before cooking into paste.

Hi there After freezing it .. I used it like a week later for steamed buns and returned it to room temperature before using but it becomes very dry and crusty .. how do I make it “sticky” and “flowy” again?

[@wendyward2585]

If I am not able to use the paste immediately, how long can I keep it in a sealed container in the fridge or freezer? How do I reheat it when I am ready to make the mooncake? Will you be making a video how to incorporate durian with the lotus seed paste to create a traditional mooncake, not snow skin?

[@MyKitchen101en]

Wrap the filling with cling wrap when completely cooled. Put into airtight container and keep refrigerated. I usually finish using the filling within 4-5 days. To keep longer, you may try to freeze it. If the paste is dry, add in some water and cook over medium-low heat until softened before using. I have try to incorporate durian into mung bean paste, not yet with lotus seed paste. You may try adding 170g -180 g of durian flesh, blend together with the cooked lotus seed and sieve. Reduce sugar to half or to taste. All the mooncake paste fillings are suitable for both traditional and snow skin mooncakes.
