Red bean paste ingredients: 
250g red bean (boiled in a 2 liter pot of water until soft and thick. Then blend it into a paste like smoothie). Cook the paste in a wok with 250g sugar, 3 tbsp oil, 2 tbsp cornstarch in medium heat. Keep stirring until very thick and dry. Make sure it does not stick to the bottom of the wok. Flip and stir when getting thicker. Please caution from the volcano bubbles, it may pop out to your direction. Wear gloves. 

Bun dough ingredients: 
300g pau flour
3g baking powder
3g instant yeast
160ml water
