The pan-fried glutinous rice bean paste pancakes have a crispy exterior thanks to white sesame seeds, while the glutinous rice inside is soft and elastic, wrapped in a delicate and dense bean paste filling. The sweet aroma blends with the natural flavors of the grains. A gentle bite and the warm pancake melts on your tongue, revealing a uniquely warm and delicious combination of soft, sweet, and slightly crispy textures.

Red Bean Paste Layered Rolls

When making this red bean paste bread, I deliberately avoided cutting or braiding it, mainly to prevent the red bean paste from drying out after baking in the oven, which would greatly affect the texture. Instead, I layered the red bean paste into the dough, creating a flaky, layered texture similar to puff pastry. This avoided the problem of biting into a mouthful of filling that was cloyingly sweet, and allowed the sweetness of the red bean paste to blend perfectly with the softness of the bread. Every bite offers a delightful combination of creamy red bean paste and fluffy dough, with rich layers that make it incredibly satisfying to eat.
