Cantonese-style
Cantonese-style red bean cake is made with hardened
red bean paste that has been frozen. The cake is sweetened and sprinkled with
sesame seed. It is generally tough to bite, and is served as a square block. Depending on the particular
region within China, this may be seen as a year-round
snack, or as a seasonal
pastry consumed on certain
traditional Chinese holidays.
