Quê Hương Lotus Seed Mooncake with Two Egg Yolks

Quê Hương's Lotus Seed Mooncake with Two Egg Yolks takes the classic Vietnamese bánh trung thu and doubles the savory center. Two whole salted duck egg yolks sit within sweet, smooth lotus seed paste, so almost every slice reveals a golden, slightly sandy yolk against the mellow filling and tender baked crust.

Warm the cake briefly to room temperature, then cut it across the middle into thin wedges so both yolks are shared evenly among guests. The doubled saltiness makes it especially good with strong, unsweetened tea such as oolong or pu-erh, a balanced pairing for Tết Trung Thu reunions and gifting boxes.

Each cake is 5.5 oz (RQ552), a single round mooncake meant to be portioned into small slices for several people. Inside, lotus seed paste encloses two salted egg yolks under a soft baked skin. Store it cool and dry, or refrigerate or freeze for longer keeping, then bring it back to room temperature before serving.
