Cooking Steps

1. 

   Step1:Wash the white kidney beans into water. Put them in the refrigerator and soak them overnight. White kidney bean has strong water absorption. Add more water when soaking. In addition, it should be soaked for at least 12 hours. The pickled bean skin will wrinkle up. It can be easily peeled off.

2. 

   Step2:Soak until the white kidney bean is fully swollen. Tear off the skin of the white kidney bean with your hand. Beans must be fully soaked. That is to say, bean skin can be easily peeled. If it can't be peeled, it means that there is a hard core. Hard core will affect the production of bean paste.

3. 

   Step3:Put it into the electric pressure cooker. Add water that has not been used for white kidney bean. Press for half an hour with the pressure cooker. What? Do you have a pressure cooker? If you don't have a pressure cooker, you can also use a soup pot. Add water that hasn't been used for beans. Boil it over high heat and turn to medium low heat for about an hour.

4. 

   Step4:Cool the stewed white kidney beans and pour them into the cooking machine. Beat them into a delicate mud. The stewed white kidney bean is very soft. It can be easily pressed into mud with a spoon. But I have tried not very good results. The granular feeling is still quite obvious. With the help of the cooking machine, you can get particularly delicate kidney bean paste. There is a cooking machine at home. Happiness will be improved a lot.

5. 

   Step5:Pour into a non stick pot. Add 35g of sugar. Stir over medium low heat.

6. 

   Step6:Add 10g salt free butter when frying until slightly thick. Continue to stir fry with a small and medium heat scraper. In addition to the milk flavor, butter can also provide a delicate and soft taste. It is more suitable than corn oil and other vegetable oil.

7. 

   Step7:Stir fry until the kidney bean paste is very thick. There is basically no water. Turn off the fire if it can form a ball.

8. 

   Step8:Set aside. Cover with a damp cloth to cool down.

9. 

   Step9:Add the peeled chestnut to the pressure cooker. Add the fresh water without chestnut. Press for half an hour with the pressure cooker. The season of chestnut fragrance is coming. So I choose chestnut as filling. But the filling can be very diverse. If you like bean paste filling, change chestnut into red bean. Remember to soak the red bean in advance. Because I have used white kidney beans for the crust. In order to reduce the intake of beans, I used chestnut as the filling. In fact, there are many other options, such as lotus seed filling. This season's lotus seed filling is also very good.
