Red Bean Pastry (红豆酥)

I had this plan to make Red Bean Bun (豆沙包) with the red bean paste that I bought but when I saw the ready made puff pastry in my freezer, I decided to make this quick snack, Red Bean Pastry (红豆酥) instead. Surprisingly, everyone in the family love this snack and kept asking for more. A simple and easy snack that can make anytime.

Ingredients

Store bought Puff Pastry
Red bean paste
White sesame seeds
1 beaten egg, for brushing

Directions

1. Take puff pastry out from freezer and place a sheet of pastry on board. Slice pastry into 3 long parts and 1/2 each long parts to form a rectangular (you can cut the pastry according to your preference sizes).

2. Place base pastry on a baking sheet and spread red bean paste. Cover the top with the other 1/2 rectangular pastry.

3. Press edges of pastry together with a fork. 

4. Brush the top of the puff with some egg wash. Sprinkle the white sesame seeds on the top and bake at 180 deg C for 25 mins or until golden brown.
