Method

1. 1 Simmer the red beans until they are thoroughly cooked with sugar until the filling becomes thick and glossy; this is the part that makes the cake famous.
2. 2 Let the filling cool completely, then refrigerate for 1 hour to make it firmer and easier to wrap.
3. 3 Mix the flour with honey, eggs, and butter to form a very thin and soft crust.
4. 4 Wrap the shell around the filling so that the filling outweighs the shell, and smooth it evenly to avoid areas that are too thick or too thin.
5. 5 Flatten the dough, poke small holes with a stick for air to escape, sprinkle with black sesame seeds, and bake at 170 degrees for 15 minutes.

With an appliance

• Air fryer 1 hr 20 min

  Replace step 5: spray a thin layer of oil onto the sides of the mold, use a 185-degree hot air oven for 10 minutes, rotating the tray at minute 5. The strong airflow shortens the time by about one-third compared to a conventional oven and browns the surface faster.
