Red Bean ‪Mooncake Recipe, Happy Mid-Autumn Festival! 🥮🥮🥮 CiCi Li - Asian Home Cooking Recipes 

Many of you have this question on the replacement of lye water, so here's an option. You can bake 1 tablespoon of baking soda in the oven under 250 degrees F for 1 hour. After 1 hour, the baking soda will shrink to about 1 teaspoon. Then mix in 3 tablespoons of water. There you got yourself a substitute for lye water.

Over the moon brought me and my daughter here 😊❤💫

I’m half Chinese and I only live for Mid Autumn and moon cakes T^T

Those look amazing!.. Thank you Ci Ci, I have learned a lot and I love how to take your time to explain everything.

Thank you for sharing! Your instructions was clear and definitely will try making it!👍🙏

Ci Ci you spoil us! 😊Thank you for letting me know about another traditional goodness! and congratulations to you, you have much grace and you are very good

Love it , thanks for your generous spirit

Your voice is so soothing and lovely! Thank you for this recipe

I love moon cakes, thank you! The mold is very beautiful too.

Thanks, Cici. I love the red beans with the eggs, good combination.

So nice that you tell a story by baking

as usual very clear tutorial thank you

Thank you Miss Cici, definitely going to try this🤭🤩😍

I tried your recipe yesterday. It was great. We had fun shaping them and they were very good. Thanks for sharing.

Looks pretty easy and tasty. I'll try these next year

I just wanted to tell you that I made your recipe and it was sooooo good! I have tried a couple of other recipes, and something just didn't seem right. Your dough works very well, and is easy to work with. I used just one bag of red bean paste to make several red bean mooncake. I used the same dough for three other flavors: nuts, date & walnut, and pineapple! The last three I made up the recipes for the fillings just using intuition and what I thought would taste good. What fun! Thank you so much for a wonderful tutorial!

Great job on the video and editing. I enjoyed watching you make my favorite moon cake and I enjoyed your storytelling. Thank you Angel from The Bay

🥮 that looks so good!

It's September 10 this year! I'm very excited, I'm not chinese but follow chinese tradition and custom, though I've never had the chance to celebrate any of the festival's, now I do! Thank you for this!

Thank you for recipe, I just found your youtube, awesome, greeting from Netherlands

I’m American and I have never tried these moon cakes so thank you for doing this recipe. I’m writing it down right now.

Amazing! So beautiful, I'm definitely trying this recipe; thank you!

My favorite is the lotus seed paste with the salted duck egg.

I’m from The Caribbean first time I’m hearing this story thank you for telling us also your moon cake looks so delicious I never try it I hope to one day you enjoy dear

Thank you Cici for such an easy to follow video with interesting history as a bonus! I’ve just followed your video and for a first attempt they look amazing! Some patterns disappeared so am thinking I may not have pressed hard enough on the mold. My husband is Chinese and has said he doesn’t know anyone who has made mooncakes before! I’m now going to watch your other mooncake video, thank you again! 谢谢

red bean is my fav.

This is my fav😋

Like your video. Very well presented!

Wow

Wow! It is so good. You did eat the quarters off so fast at the end!! 😁😉

First I thought moon cakes very hard to made after I watching you made it is so easy to made moon cakes 😊 I like watching your cooking made things easy

Cici you are so cute! Love the meaning behind this recipe!

Ci Ci you are awesome! 👍 Watching you're videos in making mooncakes, I was thinking that it is so hard to make. And by the way keep it up the good work 👍

Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!! Lotus is my favourite! But I like the red bean paste too! 😋

It looks like one of the most delicious Algerian sweets which called Makrout. I want to try it to know if it's similar in the taste or not😆

So good

im not a chinese but I wanna make it for my mom, thankyou sister for sharing

Came for the recipe and instruction, but stayed for the folklore.

Good

I love wonton

😍😍😍😍👍

❤❤❤❤

Thanks for the recipe. I've only tried the lotus seeds salted egg one.

Just ordered some molds and will make these ASAP! No Asian bakeries near me 😔 so always have to make my own

Amazing, I'm definitely trying this recipe. May I know where did you store the mooncake for 2 days?

maravilhoso, sou do Brasil e estou fazendo sua receita na YAZ Doceria.

Where did you get your mooncake mold? Thank you so much for this video! It's amazing! I'm super excited to make my own :)

Yum! Is there a substitute for lye water? I really want to make these since I cant get to my favorite Asian bakery in Boston, I love the lotus seed one too without egg and the seed & nut filling ones also. Love your channel you make these look so easy 💖 Happy Harvest Moon Festival to everyone 🌕🌕🌕

My​ favorite​ is​ 5​ kernels

I want to make a white bean paste filling, would it follow the same measurements as the red bean paste?

While this has nothing to do with traditional tastes or this excellent traditional recipe - where it seems the Chinese like all of their pastries rather sweet ;-) I wish they had a recipe for spicier (Sichuan or Hunan) style mooncake and various steamed baozi - as a spicy bean baozi would be glorious! - and a great healthy lunch or snack ;-)

I love the movie over the moon now I want to make some Mooncake I love Mooncake but I never made them before and I want to share them with my family after I make them because I'm half Chinese

Hi, in the recipe, when you specify cup, it is how much in grams for solid ingredients or ml for liquid ingredients?

woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow

How you get the moon cake filling from

Need to know what size the moon cake mold you used? Is 50g mold will be too small for you recipe? 🙏

Do I put it in the fridge when I store it in an air tight container?

Great Job! Love mooncakes, without the egg please.

Hi! Thank you for the receipe! Do I need to use an egg yolk? Or can I maybe replace it somehow?

Cicii thank you for the recipe! But i have a question can you really just use any kind of oil? And what to do if you don't have alkaline water? Is there a substitute for it?

💚🫖 Thanks so much 🌕🥮⏳

Hi everyone! I made another mooncakes recipe this year. The instruction is a little more in depth. I hope that you like it. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-SC1Lfc77OvQ.html

Hey Ci Ci! How big is this mold? I have bought one for 100 grams, do you have tips on how to adjust recipes? : ) thankyou

Where can you buy the mold? I live in Chinatown in nyc, but don’t see any?

Is there any substitute I can use for the lye water? It's not available here in Australia (or is hard to get) because it's considered a poison.

I bought a 250g mold. How much dough and filling do I need?

Can I use honey against Golden Syrup, for the dough of the mooncake? I saw it in some recipes

Nice do share more recipes using red bean paste recipes plz ! What’s the replacement of golden syrup

For the dough, can it rest overnight? Can it be put in the fridge?

Is peanut oil a must??? I can't seems to find at my side.. Can i replace with sunflower oil?

hi where did you get it moonvake mold from?

🥳🥳🥳

Man, something is up with my hormones today. This made me cry. Why? Haha

How much peanut oil please?

I'm wondering how you get the whole egg yokes in there after watching you make these! My favorites are the non-traditional ones. When I lived in Singapore, I used to buy banana, strawberry, melon and mango flavored ones. They had an uncooked skin (well at least not golden), that was soft and flexible. I actually dislike the ones with yokes inside, but I don't mind the lotus paste.

More than one sun, that sounds almost intelligent

Can you substitute maple syrup?

Can you make a chocolate and (blue)Berry version on the baked style!? :D

What is LYE water cici?

Can I use a different oil for the moon cakes?

Hi do you refrigerate it for two days or leave it out?

Ube flavored mooncakes

The link for this recipe is broken, can you please let me know what it is? Thank you!

你好啊，我也是中国人 hi I’m chines but I live in uae

Can I make dough 1 or 2 days ahead n freeze or refrigerate? Secondly, is it OK to use maple syrup instead of golden? Or honey maybe?

I'm going to be trying this out today and I did have a question. Should the mooncakes be left to rest for 2 days in a refrigerator or at room temperature?

What was the size of the mould you used?
