    June, thank you for sharing this piece of your culture with us. Delish, if you're going to make June go to a lot of effort for content, this is the type of stuff I'd love to see.

    June is the reason I watch delish. She is amazing and I do not think she and her gifts are as appreciated by this company as she should be. You are a treasure June.

    June - I have been an AVID fan of yours for years. I have rewatched every one of your videos at least a dozen times.
    I just went to my local Asian grocery store for the first time and WOW. I actually recognized and knew a lot about so many ingredients, all because of you! ❤ I felt like you were there with me. Thank you for all the joy, knowledge, and culture you share with all of us. You really make a difference.

    As someone who does make mooncakes every single year, this is a really solid recipe. I do keep lye water around for noodles and moon cakes especially but I'll give this pastry a try. A note about the filling, if you want to make yours dairy free, vegetable oil will give you a cleaner flavor, but fats that are solid at room temperature make it easier to work with.

    • @ToshaWilliams-kc9hv

      Where do you purchase the lye water? Since lye is corrosive, do you use gloves when making the moon cakes?

    Every year I love going to my local Asian grocer and seeing stacks of mooncake tins in all flavours as tall as me! It really is a hallmark of the Autumn season for me now. My favourite filling is lotus seeds, sometimes with the yolk, sometimes without. You make the recipe look so easy... I really want to try now!

  • @arosegaming4793
    @arosegaming4793 Před rokem +3

    I had an idea for budget eats! You always do so much with so little, I'd love to see a 'luxury' edition, where you get double your usual budget for one week so you can use pricier ingredients (think beef over chicken type thing, not like Wagyu beef over hamburger patties, that wouldn't be budget eats at all lol.) I'd also love to see you making one or more bento boxes and your thought process for what items and seasonings to pick- since the heart of a bento box is eating the food cold or room temperature, and you have a limited space to fit all the elements of a meal including carb, protein, and sides such as fruit and veggies, into not a small space per se, but its generally a tight squeeze.

  • @rachelong3755
    @rachelong3755 Před rokem +4

    My mom actually taught me to split a mooncake into 8 pieces using the petals on the edge as a guide. Then we would only eat one piece a day during the week leading up to Mid-Autumn. It makes a lot of sense now: if they take basically a full week to prepare, I can see why you would want to savor them for just as long! They are also a very rich dessert by Chinese standards, so I'm sure it has to do with portion sizing as well.

  • @Dogsnark
    @Dogsnark Před rokem

    I was gifted a box of moon cakes this year in advance of the moon festival. I had never seen real Chinese moon cakes before, let alone eaten one. They are such elegant little confections and I wondered how they were made. Now I do! Thanks for this video.

  • @TheLadyLuck523
    @TheLadyLuck523 Před rokem +3

    Thanks for breaking the recipe down into manageable parts! I love double yolk moon cakes. Slight preference to the red bean but the lotus seed is tasty too. The mix of the sweet and salty is so good. Remember guys! It's very rich. With the small ones that June made I'd have a half of that one as dessert. With the standard size ones I'd have only a quarter of it.

  • @fabioconsonni3232
    @fabioconsonni3232 Před rokem

    Hallo from Italy.
    I made a lot of mooncakes, with a lot of traditional and creative fillings. Made them from scratch (even the salted eg yolks). My favourite is the classic lotus paste/egg yolk, but a cocoa muffin paste/dried apricot is also very good. I love those filled with rusui, with chestnuts, with violet sweet potatoes, with red adzuki... I could go on and on. This is the first time I see the skin of the mooncake made with those ingredients: I use to make it with flour, jianshui, golden syrup and oil and et it rest for at least two hours.
    Fantastic cake!!

    We always get moon cakes when we were younger because my paternal grandma is a Chinese teacher in a Chinese school. Her students and co teachers plus the school itself gives moon cakes and rice cakes every new year. We play Moon cake festival games too were we threw dices and get prices depending on the pattern. Good ol' days ❤️ my grandma is still alive but she is retired now and resides in San Francisco. Nowadays we have to buy our own moon cake if we want to. No more giveaways. I would try this when I moved out next year when I get my own kitchen.

    So many types of mooncakes now. Ice cream, snow skin etc. Some sweeter than others. In China I find people usually have a small piece at a time as they are so dense. Western people like me, chomping on them like a cookie quickly get full. 🤭 First time I have seen this channel. Great.
