Red Bean Paste Ball

These are my latest food obsession. It is a fried dough ball with red bean paste inside. According to what I’ve read they can usually be found at Chinese bakery. They are very popular around Chinese New Year.

Outside fried part is a very thin dough, nothing like the fried dough you would get at an American fair, although it is just as greasy. Inside is just at bit of bean paste considering the pastries size. The sweetness of the beans is very subtle, but the texture may be a bit odd if you are unfamiliar with Asian deserts. However if you can get past that you are in for a real treat.

YUM!!
