Strawberry Rice Cakes

Steps

1. Step 1

   Rinse the red beans. Put the red beans in a pot and add the water (6 cups).

2. Step 2

   Simmer it until they turn out to be easily crushable. (I boiled it for 40 minutes and the paste turned out to be a bit rough still. So if you want to make really fine red bean paste you need to boil it a lot longer with more water. )

3. Step 3

   Take out the beans, leave them to cool down for 5 minutes and put them into a mixer.

4. Step 4

   Blend them.

5. Step 5

   Add the water (1 cup), honey, white sugar, and salt. Blend it again.

6. Step 6

   Put the blended red bean paste into a pot or wok and dry it on medium to low heat until the moisture evaporates enough so it is a paste.

7. Step 7

   Sieve the glutinous rice flour, salt and sugar two times.

8. Step 8

   Add the water and mix them well (it will now look like milk).

9. Step 9

   Put it into a microwavable container.

10. Step 10

    Cook it on high for 3 minutes in a microwave. (I don’t know how your microwave works, but that is how I did it. The purpose is to make it doughy)

11. Step 11

    Take out the container and stir it well.

12. Step 12

    Put it back to the microwave and repeat steps 4 and 5 two times more. (So, you use the microwave for a total of 9 minutes.)

13. Step 13

    Let it cool for 5 minutes.

14. Step 14

    Spread well some starch powder on a plate (cover the plate throughly) and pour out the dough from the container. Put the starch powder onto the dough so that it doesn’t stick on your hand.

15. Step 15

    Divide the dough into 3-4 pieces.

16. Step 16

    Spread the dough on your hand and add the red bean paste and a strawberry on top.

17. Step 17

    Serve it on the plate. (You need to eat it within 2 hours after you make it. Otherwise the dough will go soggy.)
