Red Bean Chinese Pastry

My foodie friends were asking me what I'm going to do with all the red bean paste that I made the other day! Well, I guess this is the answer! Actually, this is not the only recipe that is using red bean paste. You can find out more from my previous postings. Probably, you can use the bean paste in your pancake as well. I think that is creative enough! This is a very thin form of pastry skin which I think it goes perfectly well with the red bean paste. So, enjoy ladies!
