Mooncakes are a korean chuseok food typically eaten during the Mid-Autumn Festival. The festival celebrates the harvest and moon, and mooncakes are thought to represent the moon. Mooncakes are round or rectangular, and are often imprinted with the image of the moon or a Chinese character. They are filled with a variety of sweet or savory fillings, including lotus seed paste, red bean paste, date paste, or egg yolk. Mooncakes are usually eaten in small wedges, and are often served with tea.
