Received this as a suggestion from a reader. And since I have some canned red bean and water chestnut paste in my pantry, I decided to give it a go. I used my green tea yogurt muffin recipe and added a dollop of red bean and chestnut paste in the middle before baking. I thought red bean paste pair better with green tea flavor, so I tried it with green tea muffin. It yields 18 muffins for me, so again I have to give some away and freeze some for later consumption. I will take it out a night before and let it defroze and be ready for breakfast the next day.
Wow, that looks very interesting. :) I know you love green tea, ya. ;) Any idea why Peony doesn't allow comments now? :(

Your muffin looks very soft. Yummy!
Sig, Peony already answered below. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Gigi. Oh, this is not water chestnut paste, but red bean paste with tiny chopped water chestnut to provide the crunch. Not sure what it is called in Mandarin.
Thanks Sharon.

ReplyDeleteLooks delicious! How did you get the red bean paste not to burn or not to go soggy at the bottom?
ReplyDeleteThanks BBOven.
ReplyDeleteJust sharing an idea, baking fiend. :)
Implosion, I put some batter in the papercup, added a dollop of red bean paste, then covered the top with more batter. I also used the red bean meant for dessert topping, so it was thick and I didn't encounter the problem you mentioned.
hi
ReplyDeletecan anyone advise where to buy fat-free red bean/mung bean paste in singapore?
thanks so much in advance!
Anon,
ReplyDeleteYou know I can't help you with this but hopefully my Singapore readers can help answer your question. Over here, they sell fat free red bean paste in a canned (made of red bean, sugar and water).
Hi, for your kuih Bungan/kuih rose/honeycomb cookies, when should I sprinkle the seasame seeds and should I use raw or I have to fry before I use?
ReplyDeleteThank you.
Hi Anon,
ReplyDeleteJust add the raw sesame seeds into the batter before deep-frying.
Wish we are neighbors, I would love to share muffins. I'm a great fan of green tea and I like green tea cakes, chocolate, ice-cream, etc.
ReplyDeleteYum! I would love to use this recipe in activity kit for a new book by Grace Lin. Could we exchange the recipe for a free poster for your girls?
ReplyDeleteHi Curious City,
ReplyDeleteCan I exchange it for a free copy of Grace Lin's new book for my girls instead? :)
Yes, of course! Send me the name of your girls and your mailing address at kirsten@curiouscity.net and I will put a book in the mail (and a poster!). I will also reference your blog in my activity guide. Thanks!!

This sounds so interesting! I used to make green tea smoothies all the time, I would practically have them everyday. But this looks perfect
