Mooncakes filled with lotus seed paste are very tasty, but when we went to buy it, we were a little worried about its purity. Just like Dad said, “You don’t know how much powder is added to it if you want to be beautiful.” Yeah, then. Just do it yourself, healthy and delicious.
The lotus paste filling for mooncakes is suitable for use with dried lotus seeds. There is a lot of fresh water. My hands are really sour when fried. If you soak the dried lotus seeds a little bit softly, press them in a pressure cooker. Below I will use dried lotus seeds as an example to write the ingredients. "

Tips:
1. You can also pack it in a fresh-keeping bag and press it with a rolling pin.
