(Adapted from Yan Kit’s Classic Chinese Cookbook)
Ingredients:
1 large egg, lightly beaten
5 tablespoons all purpose-flour5
1/2 tablespoons water
4 tablespoons canned red bean paste
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
Cooking oil for deep frying
Method:
- In a mixing bowl, blend the egg, flour, and water together to form the batter. Divide the batter into 2 equal portion.
- Put a smear of oil on an 8-inch flat, non-stick frying pan and wipe all over with a paper towel. Pour all but 1 teaspoon of one portion of the batter into the frying pan and tilt it to let the mixture run evenly to the edges, forming a thin layer.
- Cook over low heat for about 2 minutes, or until it becomes a thin pancake but without any brown spots. Do not turn the pancake over.
- Loosen the edges and using a spatula, lift the pancake to a lightly oiled plate or a flat surface.
- Make the other pancake the same way.
- Spread 2 tablespoons of the red bean paste across the middle third of each pancake, leaving about 1 inch at either end. Fold the near flap over the bean paste and the side flaps inwards and then the far flap over towards the center. Seal with a little of the leftover batter smeared on the edges.
- Smear sesame seeds on the surface of the pancakes. Seal with the leftover batter.
- Heat the wok or deep fryer (to 350 degree) and deep fry the pancakes until they turn golden in color.
- Remove the pancake from the oil and drain on paper towels.
- Cut each pancake into strips and serve immediately.

Banana Pancakes Recipe

Nothing beats waking up and having a feel-good breakfast that is loaded with all the nutrition one needs for the rest of the day–protein, vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates, and more. I am not a big fan of traditional pancakes; I…

you’ve inspired me to pick up red bean paste :D
Yum! I love these for dessert or breakfast. :) Your pancakes look delicious!
My impression of red bean pancakes not like this leh! Ya, maybe coz your pancake is very thick. And the texture is more crepe-like. Your pancake looks more like -Mi Chiam Kueh (hokkien)- pancake of those with peanut fillings, or even closer to those Japanese red bean 炭烧饼!
This looks like a lovely desert! What no more red bean recipes? :-(
i can see u’re a fan of red bean eh? ;) btw congrats to the winning shot! ur pics are enthralling– as always :)
Now I have a reason to pick up some red bean paste! I looked all through my pantry, but couldn’t find any. Imagine that!
“After cracking the crabs for their sweet flesh in all its peppery glory, dessert does not disappoint either with a crunchy, melt in your mouth red bean paste pancakes!”
