Method
- 1 Simmer the soaked red beans in water for 40 minutes until soft, then stir-fry with sugar and salt for 10 minutes until a thick filling is formed.
- 2 Beat the eggs with milk and sugar, then sift in the flour and baking powder and stir until smooth.
- 3 Let the dough rest for 20 minutes to rise evenly.
- 4 Heat the fish-shaped cake mold, grease it with butter, then pour the batter to fill it halfway.
- 5 Place the red bean paste in the center, coat with flour, and bake for 3 minutes on each side until golden brown.

Replace steps 4-5: heat the fish-shaped mold and place it on the middle rack of the oven at 220 degrees for 8 minutes, flip the mold and rotate the tray after 4 minutes; more cakes will cook evenly at the same time, but the edges will be less crispy than with a mold heated on the stovetop.
