In reply to Jessi. You can find lye water on Amazon, but it can be challenging to source good quality lotus seeds online. Red Bean Paste makes a good substitute for mooncake fillings.

Hi I was wondering if you had any recommendations for online stores that sell lotus seeds and lye water. Unfortunately I live in a town where the Asian markets don’t sell it. Thank you!

In reply to Josie. Thanks Josie! I haven’t personally tried freezing them after baking, so I can’t say for sure how the texture would hold up. If you do give it a try, I’d love to hear how it turns out!

In reply to Sandy. Hi Sandy! I haven't tested a recipe for homemade golden syrup. Hope you'll find one else where.

Wow this recipe looks great but after baking is it okay to freeze the moon cakes?

Great recipe to follow specially for a first timer like me. My friends and family loved them. I used cute Labubu mooncake molds that were so cute and tasty with the recipe.
