Homemade red bean paste

Overview

It’s the end of the year, whether making steamed buns or pastries, red bean paste will be used. The red bean paste I buy is always too sweet and a bit cloying, so I don’t feel like making it myself is more suitable for my taste. In fact, it is very easy to make it yourself. If you want larger grains, you can not crush the beans too much. If you want the sweetness to be suitable, you can control the amount of sugar according to your preference. Moreover, making it yourself is safer and more reliable. You can also eat it as a snack if you can't finish it. This recipe is the electric pressure cooker version, which is easier and less troublesome to operate.

Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 First rinse the red beans with water and soak them in water for several hours

   

2. 2 The beans should be soaked until the beans are enlarged

   

3. 3 Pour it into the electric pressure cooker and add water until it is 1 cm above the beans. Because the beans are soaked, you don’t need to add too much water. Too much water will boil them out and make them very dilute and difficult to handle. Click on the beans button to steam

   

4. 4 After cooking, drain the water. If there is too much water, you can control the approximate amount of water, then put it in a pot and add a little butter to fry it dry or bake it in an electric oven for a while

   

5. 5 Add melted butter to the semi-warm beans and crush them with a spoon. If you want them to be thinner, you can use a stick for pounding garlic, or you can wear disposable plastic gloves to grasp them with your hands. If you don't like butter or don't have butter, you can use vegetable oil instead. Of course, you can also add no oil

   

6. 6 Add sugar to the finely processed bean paste, mix well and let it sit for a while. The amount of sugar in the recipe is just a reference. When making it, you should increase or decrease it according to your preference for sweetness

   

7. 7 The red bean paste can be rolled into balls or pressed into various shapes with molds and eaten directly, or wrapped in steamed buns for pastry. When not in use, seal it in a bag and store it in the refrigerator. Try to use it within three days
