Homemade mooncake filling - lotus paste filling

Overview

The mooncakes filled with lotus seed paste are delicious, but when we went to buy them, we were a little worried about its purity. Just like what Dad said: You may think it’s beautiful, but you don’t even know how much powder is added to it. Yes, then make it yourself, it’s healthy and delicious. When choosing the lotus paste filling for mooncakes, it is suitable to use dried lotus seeds. There is a lot of fresh water in them. My hands are really sore from frying. It would be better to soak the dried lotus seeds slightly and use a pressure cooker to cook them thoroughly. Below I will use dried lotus seeds as an example to write down the ingredients.
