red bean paste query...

My daughter likes an (red bean paste) sandwiches--something suggested by a

of them? Any other good ideas? Thanks!

It's commonly used as the filling in steamed buns. You can also wrap brioche
dough around it and bake, you can make red-bean-paste ice cream, or you can
smear pork strips with it prior to slow-roasting.

Thanks, Bob. I was hoping for some TNT recipes, but I guess
no one has played with it!

It is possible to buy it in a tin in any Asian market if the quantities
you make are too large.

The little pancakes filled with red bean paste are wonderful! Can also
enclose filling in a sweet yeast dough and steam them.

Or try this:
(from a Wei Chuan book)

Glutinous rice balls

1 cup red bean paste for filling cut into 16 pieces

Skin:

2 cups glutinous rice flour
5 tbs sugar
2/3 cup water

sesame seeds for coating

Mix the skin ingredients until smooth. Knead and cut into 16 pieces.
Flatten each piece into a 2 inch circle. Place a piece of filling in the
middle and gather the edges to enclose; pinch to seal. Roll each filled
skin into a ball. Dip in water and coat with sesame seeds.

Deep fry until expanded and golden. Remove, drain and serve.

Thanks, Arri! I think I'd better peruse my Asian cookbooks
too. I'd better do whatever it is quickly--or freeze the
excess.

It freezes perfectly well. Just stir it up after defrosting the paste.

Not certain what you mean by TNT other than as an explosive LOL.

Is this a paste that is a dull red brick color and very sweet, almost
like an almond paste? I was once given something wrapped in a banana
leaf which held this oversized potsticker-like thingie full of this
sweet red paste. It was quite tasty, but I have no idea what is was.

Do you make your own or purchase a commercial version? i have 2 recipes
one simple and the other adding tangerine peel and lard. Making your own
might give you better control over quantity.

Other than an hour or so to cook the red beans, the rest of the cooking
and preparing of the red bean paste takes about 5 - 10 minutes. The
simple version is just red beans, sugar and peanut oil.

Often used as a condimnet for poultry.

It is possible to buy it in a tin in any Asian market if the quantities
you make are too large.

The little pancakes filled with red bean paste are wonderful! Can also
enclose filling in a sweet yeast dough and steam them.

Or try this:
(from a Wei Chuan book)

Glutinous rice balls

1 cup red bean paste for filling cut into 16 pieces

Skin:

2 cups glutinous rice flour
5 tbs sugar
2/3 cup water

sesame seeds for coating

Mix the skin ingredients until smooth. Knead and cut into 16 pieces.
Flatten each piece into a 2 inch circle. Place a piece of filling in the
middle and gather the edges to enclose; pinch to seal. Roll each filled
skin into a ball. Dip in water and coat with sesame seeds.

Deep fry until expanded and golden. Remove, drain and serve.

Thanks, Arri! I think I'd better peruse my Asian cookbooks
too. I'd better do whatever it is quickly--or freeze the
excess.

Yes, I do freeze it sometimes but need to find better
containers for that. It is VERY hard to wrestle the lids off
the small ones I have....

My initial query may turn into looking for something my 15-y-o
daughter would cook. Maybe buns... Probably baked and not
steamed, because the baked ones would be better for school
lunches.... Since she makes pizza dough from scratch, I'm
sure she could also make buns.

Yup. Let's face it: we are all capable of finding numerous
recipes that may not have been tried. It's always better to
find something that other folks have cooked and deemed
meritorious.

That's most likely what it was--and your comparison to almond
paste makes me think of using it in recipes that normally
contain almond paste. Interesting!

BTW, there are also black and yellow bean pastes--and, I
think, off-white too.

Fair enough. The majority of the recipes I post here have been used by
me. When that's not the case it's mentioned as such.

Why stop with red bean paste, all sorts of veggies can be pureed to make
this type of paste, as well as other beans. Sometimes these are egged
and bread crumbed and sautéed or baked in a shape (with cheese?) that
can then be used to make a sandwich with. It is not uncommon to puree
various animals flesh, but especially sea food to add to this "paste".
Im partial to the garbonzo base for this 'humus' iirc?

Making balls or patties of humus and taking a small container of a
lemon, garlic vinaigrette to pour over them or any dip to go with them
is something i often do for my 'brown bag' and i like them at room temp.
There's a lemon cucumber yoghurt dip a local "eat a pita" place sells
that i have never been abel to quite duplicate but which they will sell
by the pint.
