How to Make Moon Cakes

This is not quite a dumpling, though it does involve dough, filling,
shaping and a mold! The recipe is in my cookbook, "Into the Vietnamese
Kitchen" (Ten Speed Press, 2006). Moon cakes are called banh trung thu in Vietnamese. My family brought this recipe from Vietnam and it's been in our family for over 30 years.

@allaff628 As mentioned in the video caption, this video is meant to go with the recipe in my cookbook, Into the Vietnamese Kitchen (Ten Speed Press, 2006). If you'd like the complete recipe, go to the library or a bookstore. Thanks for your interest.

My girlfriend is from China and I am from America...so I had never heard of these until she raved about how much she loved them....so I want to learn how to make them for her :) Thanks!

I think the hole on the side of the mold is a release hole from the vacuum created when you press the moon cake inside the mold, it releases easier .
