red bean cake

1

Put the dried glutinous rice flour into a container, cover with plastic wrap, and steam in cold water for 30 minutes.

2

Clean the red beans, put them into an electric pressure cooker, and add clear water until they are as high as one finger. Add sugar at the same time. Press the button on the electric pressure cooker and cook for about half an hour. Wait until the heat in the pan has been cleared before boiling.

3

After boiling, the red beans are soft and rotten, and there is no water in the pan.

4

Put the cooled red beans into a blender and add appropriate amount of cold boiled water.

5

Stir the red bean paste to the state shown in the picture.

6

Boil the bean paste over low heat until thick.

7

Mix the steamed glutinous rice flour, orange flour and red bean paste together and knead into a soft and non-sticky dough. Finally add a little oil and knead well.

8

Use a mold to press the shape and place it in an oiled plate.

9

Pour cold water on the pan and steam for 15 minutes.

1. When steaming glutinous rice flour, cover the container with plastic wrap to prevent the steam from turning into water droplets in the flour. Poke the plastic wrap a few times with a toothpick.
2. When cooking beans, add a little more sugar, because glutinous rice flour and orange flour will also be added later. If you add less sugar, you can also add more later when you cook the bean paste.
3. Don't cook the bean paste too dry, otherwise you won't be able to knead it into a ball later. If it is too dry, add water to dilute the dough while kneading it.
4. If you use finished bean paste, pay attention to the water content and sweetness, and add water and sugar as appropriate.
5. This method is also applicable to mung beans.

Note: Because I use the already made bean paste, the photos of making bean paste in the step are taken before. It is posted here to let everyone have a complete understanding of the detailed process.
