[Sca-cooks] SWEETENED RED BEAN PASTE

[Elaine Koogler]

I'm sure Master A's response will be better than mine, but yes, the filling you
speak of is red bean paste...as is the filling, oftentimes, of those lovely
steamed buns.  I understand, though I haven't had a chance to try it, that it
makes a lovely topping for ice cream.
