Cooking steps
  1. 1

    In a bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, and salt. Gradually add water, mixing until a smooth, slightly sticky dough forms.

    Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces. Flatten each piece into a 3-inch disc with your hands or a rolling pin.

    Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat to 340°F (medium-low), ensuring even temperature for gentle frying.

  5. 5

    Fry cakes in batches for 2–3 minutes on each side, turning occasionally for even browning, until golden and crisp outside. Drain on paper towels before serving.

Personalized Q&A
Q. What's the key ingredient in this Fried Red Bean Paste Cake recipe?
The core ingredient is sweetened red bean paste, which lends the dessert its signature sweet, earthy flavor and creamy texture. The outer dough made from all-purpose flour provides the crisp golden shell.

Maintain medium-low heat (around 340°F) when frying so the cakes cook through and become crunchy without burning. Fry the cakes in batches and avoid overcrowding the pan for even browning.
Q. How do I prevent the filling from leaking out during frying?
Pinch and seal the dough tightly around the red bean paste, then gently flatten into a puck. Ensuring a proper seal and not overfilling helps prevent leaking and ensures a crisp exterior.
