A hamburger made with krispy kreme's just doesn't sound right, although I would eat Monte Cristo sandwiches when I was a kid. Becca |

Funny... one of our oriental restaurants serves what appears to be a sweet bean paste-filled donut hole, covered with sesame seeds. I like them for dessert. They're small rather than supersized, the sesame seeds add nuttiness and the bean paste is not cloyingly sweet. And they're not dry as sand like the other dessert items at the buffet. It's funny because here in Parts Unknown we don't often get weird foods. Places that would be ordinary specialty shops in a larger town just can't make it here. It's only been the last two years or so that a coffee shop was able to stay in business. -- Terry |

Yes, I like those bean-paste-filled donuts. It's nice that you do get to enjoy them there since it doesn't sound like a foodie's paradise. -- Jean B. All truth passes through three stages.

Provided you can get the red bean paste, or are willing to make some. > > It's funny because here in Parts Unknown we don't often get weird > foods.

I love sesame balls. All of the ones around here are made with a rice based dough that ends up jelled not puffy. Sesame balls are the size of a donut hole but without any air pockets in the dough the texture is too far from a donut for me to call it that. Bean paste makes sense as a cooking ingredient. Peanut butter is pea paste. Frijoles refrijoles is bean paste. Almond paste is nut paste. All work fine as ingredients therefore paste made from sweet beans works fine as well. |

They may not have been fried at the right temperature. They are meant to be made from rice flour, usually the glutinous sort. > > Bean paste makes sense as a cooking ingredient.

Remove the skins, if they bother you, by pushing through a sieve or use a food mill. Add some sugar to taste and fresh lard. Usually about twice as much lard as sugar, by volume. Heat well, with stirring until a thick paste results. Let cool before using. Better than the tinned paste It freezes well but not for too long. |

But then I'd probably prefer some texture anyway. -- Jean B. |

Doesn't take that long. Or use a food mill, which tends to leave the skins behind anyway. Try it once at least. It does taste better than from a tin or jar. |
