Red Bean Paste 紅豆沙

Looks like a ugly mess, doesn't it?  This is in fact one of the all time favourite dessert fillings in all of East Asia.  I was going to buy some to fill some sweet zong but it is midnight and no store is open.  I had red beans so I made the paste myself.  The process is simple, cook the bean until opened then blend it smooth; brown some sugar in some oil then add the puree, cook out the water to form a paste, add more sugar and oil if needed.  How sweet it is.
