Red bean cake is a type of Chinese cake with a sweet red bean paste filling. There are many regional varieties, including Taiwanese versions.[1][2]

Cantonese-style

[edit]

Cantonese-style red bean cake is made with hardened red bean paste that has been frozen. The cake is sweetened and sprinkled with sesame seed. It is generally tough to bite, and is served as a square block. Depending on the particular region within China, this may be seen as a year-round snack, or as a seasonal pastry consumed on certain traditional Chinese holidays.
