Foodnote: So I have some red bean paste left and trying to clear it. This recipe looks easy and simple. No need to use my mixer and I have all the ingredients. I made 6 bread rolls and 6 buns with red bean fillings. Very good recipe and I made it while WFH hehe. The dough is very easy to manage too.
