Red Bean Pau/Bao
Red Bean Pau/Bao Pau/Bao is a type of yeast, filled bun in traditional Chinese cuisine that is smooth and silky. There are many variations in fillings,sweet and savoury. Today I'll be showing you how to make the sweet version. Growing up in a small town with a mixed race community, we were well accustomed to different kinds of cuisines. I was exposed to all types of foods but one of my favourites was the pau/bao especially the ones with a red bean filling. The sweetness from the red bean is just exceptional as it is not too sweet and compliments the texture of the bun perfectly. I even had pao/bao every day when we were holidaying in Japan. To this day it remains a favourite snack of mine. This is how I made it.
