Red Bean Paste

This fantastic paste can be used to make a sign style buns, Chinese or Japanese deserts, and it’s super easy with a Instant Pot pressure cooker.
You can make a smooth paste by passing the finished paste through a sieve, it’s a lot a lot of work, but it’s worth it. (But I’ve found I love the skin to the red bean since it means so much less work)
