Hello,
Last month, we spent almost four weeks traveling in Asia specially in Malaysia and Thailand. I'm slowly catching up on my blog posts from the last couple of months. It's just a bit too much of Asian food when we were in Asia and now it's time to track back my food and calories intake.
This afternoon, I made steamed red bean buns, but for the red bean paste I have made it one day earlier. When we were in Malaysia, we used to buy the baked version of red bean buns that we can find everywhere in the small or big shops.
STEAMED RED BEAN BUNS
Ingredients;
For the paste
200g red beans
1/2 cup brown or white sugar
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Dough
250g flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 tablespoon butter or vegetable oil
1/2 cup warm water
1 packet dry yeast
1 tablespoon sugar
METHOD;
For the red bean paste:-
- Soak red beans in water overnight.
- In a medium saucepan, add red beans and water about 3 cups and bring to boil over medium heat for at least 30 minutes.
- Once the red beans are almost soft, transfer the red beans with the water to a blender or food processor and blend red beans until it becomes a paste.
- Transfer back the paste into saucepan and add sugar, simmer over low heat until the paste reach the desire thickness.
- Add in 1 tablespoon of oil and stir a while before turn it off. Allow the paste to cool, keep in the fridge.
For the dough:-
- Dissolve sugar and dry yeast with 1/2 cup of warm water. Allow to foam for 10 minutes.
- In a bowl of standing mixer, mix flour, baking powder, butter or oil and a pinch of salt.
- Add in the yeast mixture and knead the dough for 5-7 minutes or until smooth.
- Remove the dough and divided into small balls, about 8-9 balls.
- Flatten the ball and place about 1 tablespoon of red bean paste in the center, Gather up the edge to seal and shape into round ball.
- Place the ball on the small square baking paper.
- Arrange the bun in a tray and let the buns rise for another 15-30 minutes, in a warm area.
- Prepare the steamer, I used the bamboo steamer and place the buns in a steamer and steam for 7-10 minutes.
- Once it's done, transfer the bamboo steamer away from the water, remove the cover and take the buns out. Continue to steam the rest of the buns.
- Buns also can be frozen and steam for 5 minute before serve.
Enjoy the buns!
