Cucumber itself is rich in nutrients (rich in dietary fiber, vitamins, etc.). This dish can not only satisfy the taste, but also add nutrition and layering to the diet, making it suitable for daily consumption.

These coconut-flavored red bean buns are a classic Cantonese dim sum treat. The surface is dazzlingly shiny, smooth and without any air pockets—the quality of being purely handmade is immediately apparent!

One bite is soft and warming, a truly authentic Cantonese flavor, a must-order comforting dim sum for dim sum, becoming more fragrant with each chew!
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.

Creative cooking ingredients: used for decoration of dessert platters, fruit salad or smoothies, can also be added to yogurt, oatmeal to make healthy light meals, and even embellished in Chinese sugar water (such as red bean paste, mung bean soup) to enhance the appearance and taste diversity of dishes.
