It falls on the 15th day of the eighth month in the lunar calendar, which is in September or early October – this year it lands on October 1, 2020 when the fullest moon will appear. It’s day to celebrate the harvest, spend quality time with your kids – spoiling them with toys, their favorite foods, paper lanterns & treats such as mooncakes. I’m sharing my Instant Pot recipe for Bánh Dẻo Trung Thu / Snow Skin Mooncakes, the mooncake wrapper is soft and chewy (similar to mochi) with a sweet coconut flavored mung bean filling.
