🌱Red bean paste Steamed bun🌱

For the very first time i have tried this dish in Bangkok. Now its one of my favourite..

“Dou Sha”means “bean paste””Bao”means “bun”in Chinese.We can call it Chinese Bun.

The dou sha (red bean paste) sweet but not overwhelmingly sweet, even savoury person can like it.

Dou sha is actually straight forward to make. You only need red beans(Small red beans or azuki beans)sugar, and water. A good dou sha filling for steamed buns should be “stiff” and thick.Classic Bao is made of maida, here i have used whole wheat to make it healthy!
