Aunty Yochana said...: Hi,

yes you definitely can sub agar agar strands with powder. I can't advice you how much because I have not been using strands for many many years. My rough guide is : use same weight. which means if the recipe ask for 10 gm. powder then weigh your strands 10 gm. too.

Aunty Yochana said...: Hi Sarah,

Snow skin has no eggs too so it's vegetarian... Mochi is definitely vegetarian.

Asan said...: Aunty Yochana, I tried making the snow skin mooncakes last week but had a diffcult time wrapping the filling and forming the balls...the filling was prob too wet but I just can not form balls with evenly distributed skin...one end (gathered edges) was so thick ...can you give some tips or suggestions, maybe a video? Thanks a million!; September 08, 2008 1:38 am
Aunty Yochana said...: hi Asan.

I will open up a class on Mooncakes (from top to bottom) making sure that you will succeed in all your mooncakes. hahaha..but that will be next year cos i think it's too late now. it's better to attend a class and see it and can also do hands-on otherwise you will waste a lot of money on trial and error.

I happened to see mochi flour in Phoon Huat when I was out shopping for ingredients this afternoon.

Can I use the flour to do these mooncakes?

Aunty Yochana said...: Hi Olivia,

I've never used Phoon Huat's mochi flour before. I have many friends and blog fans who commented that the mochi flour is no good and it turned hard even after a few hours. The one I bought from Anna Phua and Zhong Yong are really good...
