Red Bean Filling

Red Bean Filling

400g Red bean
200g Sugar
160g Oil
37g   Cooked glutinous rice flour
37g   Melon seeds

Method:

1. Rinse the red bean and soak for at least 3 hours, or overnight.
2.  Use a large pot, add red bean and water to cover and cook on medium-high heat. Bring it to boil. Reduce heat and simmer until tender. 
3. Drain out the red bean with a slotted spoon. Transfer into a food processor and grind into a smooth paste. Pass through a fine sieve if you want the finest texture.
4. Use a non-stick frying pan, combine the red bean and sugar. Cook over medium heat, until the sugar dissolves completely. Add in 1/3 of the oil at a time, combine well until the oil is incorporated well between adds. Stir constantly and cook until the red bean is thickened. 
5. Remove from the heat. Let cool completely. It’s ready to use. 
6. The puree can be stored in an air-tight container and keep in fridge up for 2 to 3 weeks, or stored in the freezer for longer time.
