Ingredients
- 1Â 1/2 c. Red beans, washed well
- 4 c. Water
- 1/2 c. Vegetable shortening
- 1 c. Sugar
Directions
- (Sweet red bean paste can be bought in the store, and used straight from the can for filling, but this is how to make it from scratch)
- Place the beans and water in a saucepan, cover, bring to boil over medium high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook for 1 1/2 hrs, or possibly til beans are very soft.
- Strain the water from the beans, and blend them into a puree in a blender or possibly food processor.
- Press the puree through a sieve, discarding the skins, that will be left in the sieve.
- Place the puree in several layers of cheesecloth, and gently squeeze to remove excess moisture.
- Place the thickened puree back into the saucepan, together with the sugar and vegetable shortening, and heat over low heat, stirring till it becomes a thick paste. Stir and scrape vigourously so which it does not stick to the bottom.
- Remove from heat and let cold before filling buns.
