  Its absolutely one of the most delicious pastries, like ever.
  
  Sorry for the poor pictures but I only had my phone to go by.
  
  Its standard soft dinner roll dough (home made or store bought, doesn't matter). You take about a golf ball size of dough, put in about 1~2 teaspoons of red bean paste, and fold the dough over and pinch it close. Make sure its closed well or the paste will asploded out of the dough when you bake it.
  
  Apply a small layer of melted butter on top with a brush, drop a few black sesame seeds, and bake.
  
  They're 1~2 bite size, so if you want a larger portion just scale larger.

  I already shared it all :<
  
  In my http://mabination.com/mabination-community/bean-rua/13937-talisman-board-game.html thread I already said there would be a lot of people over tonight.
  
  I had like 6 of them myself so I'm fine now (and feeling fatter QQ)
  
  EXTREME LAZY MODE: Take a bun, cut it open, fill it with red bean paste like you would jelly or butter. This is not recommended as it does not do the flavor justice. In fact, you should forget I said this because its like a crime to eat it like this when it could be so much better.
  
  Variation 1: Take pancake batter, and put it in some sort of a press (kinda like a waffle maker, cept I don't think that'll work as well). I actually have a mold for Taiyaki, so its very easy for me. Put in bean paste in the center, pour more on top, make.
  
  Should look like this (stole from google)

  Variation 2: Use rice buns. Its an entire different product at that point though. They're red bean buns. Instead of baking it, you steam it. Also courtesy from google:

  Variation 3: Include crushed ground nuts, walnuts, or hazlenuts in the mix. Makes it taste even better. Alternatives for red bean paste is lllama bean paste, but I personally don't like these as much. Try adding a small amount of coffee mix or green tea to the dough to add a bit more flavor. You can also apply a thin layer of egg yolk on the top like the butter before baking.

  I don't really like rice buns though. I used to, but then I had a rice bun for breakfast every day in my freshman year, and I ended up getting really sick of it. Especially the way it was frozen, and to make it properly I had to steam it, but I didn't have the time before school so I just got it wet and put it in the microwave.
  
  The result would be a partially hard, partially mush, partially too cold, partially too hot mess that would make me sick of rice buns forever.
  
  Though I still did enjoy a few meat buns.
  
  Besides, these rolls are chewy, sweet, slightly salty, and absolutely delicious.

  I'm good with almost any kind of asian bun :(
  
  Except I ate BBQ pork buns for lunch for two years and I got totally and completely sick of it.

  I've forced well over a few hundred people to try red bean rolls in my life, and you have got to be the first person I have ever known to not enjoy it.
  
  Most people literally keep in touch with me just to ask me to make them more.

  I try them all the time because I'm convinced I've never had one that was properly made. I have trouble believing that something that looks so good can taste so strange.
