Harvest Moon Festival Menu

In Korea it’s Chuseok, in Vietnam it’s Tet Trung Thu, in China it’s the Mid-Autumn or Harvest Moon Festival. Whatever you call it, the fall festival is celebrated in several Asian countries, around the time of the full moon. It’s a time for families to come together, and often to give thanks for the harvest, leading to a natural comparison with Canadian and American Thanksgiving.

The recipes we’ve gathered here aren’t strictly traditional, but if you’re looking for a pan-Asian menu infused with incredible flavour and cannabis, this is it. For a more classic, but still cannabis-infused meal, try adding our cannabis-infused sesame oil to your traditional favourites – it’s delicious on Japanese soba and Korean japchae noodles.

Vietnamese Pomelo Salad

It's not a traditional Tet Trung Thu recipe, but this Vietnamese-inspired salad is simple and tasty. For easy serving, prep ingredients in advance, and toss together at the last minute.

Hempster Dreamy Dumplings

Who doesn’t love dumplings? They take some time to prepare, but we promise your efforts will be rewarded with great flavours, not to mention the gratitude of your satisfied guests.

Cannabis-Infused Bao

This classic bao recipe can be stuffed however you’d like. Serve it with shredded pork ribs, barbecued shrimp, or boiled egg slices. It's also great dipped into Chef Ronnie's Everything Sauce.

S’Mores Bao

Our s’mores baos are delightful fusions of soft, fluffy bao buns and soft, fluffy marshmallows, all smothered in cannabis-infused chocolate sauce. They're a dreamy way to end any meal.
