The use of lye water in the recipe, while traditional, is actually a culinary myth. Lye water is thought to promote browning of the pastry skin in the same way that pretzels are dipped in lye water before baking to achieve that deep brown colour. However, as you can see from the mooncakes in the video, those didn’t turn out very brown at all. The colouration is due mostly to the egg wash and not the lye water. To achieve the colour that you see in the commercial bakeries, ditch the golden syrup and lye water and use the same quantity of treacle, molasses or a very dark honey instead. The mooncakes also looked a bit thin. This is due to the wrong size press being used (too big) or the mooncakes being too small. Every press will have a number, usually stated in grammes somewhere on the outside and this is the total weight of the filling and pastry skin for each mooncake that will comfortably fit in the press. The size of the presses are usually multiples of 50g up to about 250g. A ratio of 50% filling and 50% pastry skin by weight is usual but you can go up to 60% filling and 40% pastry skin, bearing in mind, the thinner the pastry skin, the more elegant the mooncakes will be. And on the subject of thin pastry skins, the video appeared to omit the need for resting time when making the pastry skin. This step is critical. Once the dough is made, it needs to rest for 30 mins to an hour at room temperature before using it to wrap the filling. If you have a well-rested dough, you won’t need the cling wrap at all. You should be able to form a “cup “ of dough with your hands into which the ball of filling goes into. Finally, the reason why the mooncakes shouldn’t be eaten immediately after baking is because of a process known as 回油 or literally “returning oil”. It’s traditional to allow the mooncakes to rest at room temperature (and not in the refrigerator) so that the oil from the filling has a chance to permeate and moisturise the pastry skin. Which is why when you’re making the filling, while it’s possible to drastically reduce the amount of oil used in making the filling (in fact, the Japanese method of making red bean anko uses no oil at all!), it’s best not to skimp on the oil because it’s helps the pastry skin to achieve the level of moisture needed. On the subject of red bean and lotus see pastes, substitute dark brown sugar for white sugar in the red bean baste and that makes for a tastier red bean paste. The lotus paste in the video is what’s known as “white” lotus paste. Traditional “golden” lotus paste is made in the same way except instead of granulated/caster sugar, the sugar is cooked into a (dry) caramel before being added to the lotus seed purée, which is then cooked into the paste like is shown in the video. White lotus is useful if you want to add mix-ins such as matcha powder or pandan. And don’t forget the seeds/nuts in the lotus paste. Use whatever you like. Shelled melon seeds are traditional but 🤢🤮. I put toasted pine nuts, sunflower seeds or macadamia nuts in mine 😋

@jeremychoo934

Kate Kramer Lye water is definitely optional, especially if you’re using molasses or treacle. The traditional recipe calls for invert sugar rather than golden syrup and it may well be that golden syrup contains invert sugar but invert sugar is something you can easily make at home by heating a sugar syrup with lemon juice until it turns a golden colour and then leaving it to cool. You can choose to neutralise the lemon juice with some bicarbonate of sofa but that’s optional.

There’s different mooncake varieties depending on the Chinese dialect groups. The ones that contain salted egg yolk are from the Cantonese; while the Hokkien, Hakka, Teochew and Shanghainese each have their own varieties. We Malaysians even make them using agar-agar or snow skin (yum!) and unconventional filling flavours such as matcha, milk tea and some from fruit purées (including the infamous durian)! They contain considerably less calories as opposed to the traditional ones. Sadly Joshua, you missed the date to upload the video haha.

There are two ways to do that tho, you can stuff the whole egg yolk in the cake (traditional one), or smash the egg yolk into a paste and mix with little sugar and milk to be (奶皇), this is the lighter one and more popular one in recent years.

Also can I just say the quality of your videos is incredible. I've been here for awhile and the quality has improved so much without losing the integrity and passion for cooking! These videos are WORKS of ART now. Keep it up!!

Fun Fact: Moon Cake in Chinese is 月饼（yue bing) Yue means moon and bing means cake

餅 is more commonly referred to as ‘biscuit/cookie’ we would use 糕 (gāo) if referring to cakes However in this context of ‘mooncake’, 餅 is usually translated to as ‘cake’

@@LeukipposOfAbdera Idk, kinda sounded like a Betty impression to me. I don't remember any particular ties to moon cakes in that movie other than China, but still

I'm so glad you included a lotus paste version they're my favorite! Time to save this for the next mid-autumn festival lol

Thank you for this video. I was afraid to try doing this recipe before. But now I'll definitely give it a try

This video is really entertaining but also very informative! I've been wanting to make mooncakes for a while now, I think this video is the final push for me to buy a mooncake presser and just do it :)

i clicked this video and IMMEDIATELY had the urge to watch Wendy Wu: Homecoming Warrior

Traditionally, you would fry the red bean paste in lard, not vegetable oil.

They remind me of my FAVOURITE cake wich looks exactly like this but has date paste filling instead of red beans and its AMAZING

Thank you so much for this! I love red bean anything and I’m gonna have to try this recipe. 🖤

Great job as always. Stay healthy for you, Josh!❤

Yeah it’s widely available in England (and I’m talking most shops here, it’s a staple) but I’ve heard that corn syrup is often used as a replacement if that helps at all

Looks delicious, will save it to prepare it some day.

Thanks so much for making this look so doable. And for making me laugh at the same time!

You can also cook those beans in 45 minutes (+20 for cool down) in any pressure cooker without the overnight soak. Throw an orange peel (dried or fresh) into the pressure cooker with the red beans for a really nice fragrance.

My kids loved the Over the Moon movie. We had never heard of mooncakes before. I have been wanting to make them! I just bought everything to make them! I stopped at 4 out of 5 asian markets near me and none had lye water or the golden syrup so i will be making my own lye water and i bought the golden syrup on amazon. I am so excited to make these and they will be ready on Tuesday for the festival! I loved the video. I cannot wait to try these. I have never had one before.
