Red bean paste (豆沙) is a common filling used in Asian breads and pastries. Use it in mooncakes, mochi, or as a filling in my pineapple buns! This recipe explains how to make a smooth red bean paste. See note 1 for directions on how to make a chunky red bean paste.You can easily adjust the amount of sugar used in this bean paste. If you want something less sweet, I recommend using 6 tablespoons (or 72 grams) of brown sugar. You can also add more if you like.
