We didn’t want to let another Mid-Autumn Moon Festival pass us by without learning more about mooncakes. What better teacher than legendary chef and Yan Can Cook television host Martin Yan? Martin escorted us to the heart of San Francisco’s Chinatown where the folks at AA Bakery shared a hands-on tutorial for making traditional mooncakes from scratch. From shaping the lotus paste dough to perfecting the salted egg filling, we got an up-close look at everything that goes into making these festive treats.
