red bean bun
Filled Asian bread
A red bean bun is a sweet pastry filled with red bean paste, common in East Asian cuisines—particularly Chinese, Japanese, and Korean.
The filling is made from adzuki beans cooked with sugar until smooth or slightly chunky.
The bun itself varies: soft and fluffy in Chinese bakeries, often made with a brioche-like dough in Japan.
I grabbed a red bean bun from the bakery for breakfast.
