Add a little bit more water and oil and then re-fry the paste.

Hi! Thanks for the recipe.
I made the lotus paste, left it to cool without covering.
The paste became not sticky and super dry. Would you please advise how to salvage it?

Sorry, Amanda. I failed to measure the paste so can’t provide the precise amount. But it should be around 400 grams.

Your recipe looks wonderful! Do you know how much lotus paste this recipe makes? Just trying to figure out how much to make for my mooncakes! Thanks

Sure! Sugar is only for flavoring in mooncakes.

As my husband is pre diabetic, mooncakes are usually on the sweet side. Now I can follow your recipe and maybe use stevia instead of regular sugar. Will I still get the same results ?

Once a year I buy a box of moon cake pastry from my Chinese market. The box contains two mung bean paste cakes, two lotus seed paste cakes, and red bean paste. Each has two yolks. The box says “Made in Hong Kong.” Everyone in the family love a slice of variety of flavors.

Is the paste pliable enough to make edible lace?

Hi RD,
I have already posted my recipe for mung bean paste and red bean paste. The method for making kidney bean paste is almost the same with the two previous ones.
