red bean buns
Filled Asian treats
Red bean buns are soft, sweet buns filled with a paste made from adzuki beans, popular in East Asian cuisines—especially Chinese, Japanese, and Korean.
The filling is dense and subtly sweet, with an earthy flavor unfamiliar to Western palates.
In Japanese, they're called anpan; in Chinese, dousha bao.
Often steamed or baked: We picked up red bean buns from the bakery.
