Moon cake - red bean paste filling
Overview
Washing bean paste is a very traditional method. When fried, the bean paste will be delicate and taste good. It may seem complicated but it is actually very easy. You might as well give it a try. The bean paste sold outside is really inedible. It is just like eating starch lumps. A lot of starch is added to it. It is better to make it yourself. It tastes really good

Ingredients
Steps
-
Soak the beans in water overnight
-
Wash it clean
-
Add an appropriate amount of water, bring to a boil over high heat and simmer over medium to low heat. Stir halfway and add boiling water to prevent it from drying out.
-
Cook for about 30 minutes. Use a spoon to press the beans to see if they are crispy. If not, you need to simmer on low heat. Basically, they will be cooked through in less than an hour
-
Next, wash the sand, put a small basin with an appropriate amount of water under the filter, and scoop a small amount of the cooked bean paste into the filter
-
Press the bean paste with a spoon and the bean paste will filter into the basin with the water
-
All that cannot be filtered out are bean shells, so remove the bean shells
-
After everything has been filtered, put it into a cotton bag together with the water and bean paste in the basin. The texture of the bag should be very dense. Do not use too thin gauze. After filling the bag, hang it up and drip it until there is no more water. Then squeeze it with your hands and fry it
-
Pour into non-stick wok
-
First stir-fry over medium-low heat until slightly dry. Add sugar and stir-fry. Keep stirring
-
Pour in the oil in three more batches, and stir well after each pour before pouring in the next time. After pouring the oil, stir fry quickly to avoid oil splashing and scalding your hands
-
Fry until non-stick pan and non-stick spatula
-
Use a spatula to press it and it won’t spread. It’s basically fried. It looks very delicate
