Sweet manju pastry (만주)

www.maangchi.co...
Ingredients (for 8 manju):

1 cup lima beans, ½ cup sugar, ½ ts salt, ¾ cup flour and ½ cup extra flour, 2 eggs, ¼ cup sesame seeds, ¼ cup sweetened condensed milk, 2 ts of vanilla extract
Directions:

Let's make sweet filling first!
1. Soak 1 cup of lima beans in cold water overnight (for about 10-12 hours).

2. Pop the beans out of the skins with your fingers.
3. Place the beans in a heavy bottomed pot with water and bring to a boil over medium high heat for 10 minutes.
4. Lower the heat and simmer for about 35-50 minutes until the beans are very soft and spongy.
5. Mash the beans with a wooden spoon until they have the consistency and look of mashed potatoes.
*tip: If you need to make a large quantity, using a food processor will be faster
6. Add ½ cup sugar, ¼ ts salt, and 1 ts vanilla extract and keep stirring for about 1 -2 minutes with a wooden spoon. The filling should get stickier. Keep stirring so the filling doesn't burn or stick to the bottom of the pot.

7. Turn the heat off and cool down.
Make dough:
1. Add ¾ cup flour, 1 egg, ¼ ts salt, ¼ cup sweetened condensed milk, and 1 ts vanilla extract to a mixing bowl.
2. Mix it well with a wooden spoon until smooth

Make 8 manju:
1. Divide the dough and the filling into 8 same-sized balls on a floured cutting board.

2. Flatten out each dough ball by pressing it down with the palm of your hand.
3. Place a filling ball into the center of a flattened dough ball. Wrap the dough around the filling
4. Seal the edges of the wrapped dough and form into the shape of an egg or chestnut.
5. Dip the side of egg shaped manju into water first, and then dip into sesame seeds so the seeds stick to side. For chestnut shaped manju, dip the top into water, and then dip the top into seeds.
6. Brush the sesame seeds with egg yolk.
7. Repeat for each pastry, and place the manju on a cookie pan lined with baking sheet, with the sealed part of the manju on the bottom.
8. Bake in the oven at 350°F on the middle rack for about 20 minutes.
9. If you make chestnut shaped manju, bake them a little longer for a deep, rich color.
10. Serve as dessert or snack.

[@jacquelynemerick148]

Maangchi, I am obsessed with your channel!! I've watched your videos since before my daughter was born, she's almost 2, and you always make me hungry! I used your Mandu recipe for my husband's birthday and there was nothing left :D

[@Maangchi]

Jacquelyn Emerick I'm touched by your message! Good luck with your Korean cooking!

[@Maangchi]

***** Yes, when the lime beans are cooked and mashed, they really taste like fluffy chestnuts.

[@GirlSproket]

Just pulled mine out of the oven. Had to make a few adjustments. (Made the filling out of canned [rinsed] garbanzo beans, and made homemade condensed milk. Basically, used what I had on-hand instead of spending money on two ingredients.) I've never had manju before, so I can't compare the taste to the original recipe, but I like my variation. :)

[@Maangchi]

: ) cute!

[@Tamar1973]

Those manju are gorgeous. Shows that adzuki beans aren't the only beans that can be sweet.

[@naomiCENSOREDv2]

I just finished baking my first batch of Manju... OMG SO DELICIOUS!!! My mother loved them too! So excited to try another batch with the red bean paste I made yesterday! :) Thanks as always maangchi, for making this delicious world of Korean food accessible to me!! ^_^

[@Maangchi]

@yarima13 It will be ok in the fridge for a couple of days. Put it in a plastic bag and keep it in the fridge. Or Keep it in the freezer, up to 1 month then you can eat it anytime you want.

[@kyungsooseye5437]

Maangchi is my no 1 favorite cooking channel!

[@mdbuendia6806]

So excited to try all your recipe for my 3 girls. Especially they decided to go on a pack lunch this coming school year - September...God bless you more., Maangchi

[@bubbles02010]

i love it when my mom makes this (isn't this pastry supposed to look like a chesnut?) when i try to make it, it always seems like there isn't enough dough to cover the sweet bean paste! so i always put less filling inside to prevent it from opening.

[@AliCatt777]

I use canned cannelini beans, which has a more smooth consistency, but is also tasty :D

[@Nonotme888]

I love sesame balls w/ mung beans but they are usually deep fry. I'm going to try this healthier version.

[@yoyomax12]

I'm going to do this one on my channel I think , they look so tasty and interesting. A dessert made with lima beans. I will be sure to send people your way for the recipe. :)

[@Maangchi]

Turkish caption was submitted by one of our volunteer translator viewers! Thanks a lot! kzbin.info_video?v=PNaYmKGFQ6E

[@Maangchi]

yes, cook it at a really low heat. Or add more water and cook longer. Good luck with making delicious sweet red bean paste.

[@Maangchi]

yes, you can use sweet red bean paste, too.

[@Maangchi]

@boundbyheart yes, you can. Some of my readers have already posted some photos of manju made with sweet red bean filling on my website.

[@emyluvcutie123star]

I'm waiting 5 more years then I'm going to live in Korea with my cousin and we're gonna learn how to make Korean food but since I'm from Vietnam and and half Vietnamese we make seaweed soup too there really delicious

[@xpoisonxzombie]

I like the way you packaged them, very beautiful for a gift :)

[@chicagoduck3885]

Thank you for your cook and backing class that I really enjoy to learn. I'm korean but I live U.S.A. I don't have much experience for baking therefore I don't know multi recipes but I will learn alot from your video. Thanks again and I will try to make a someday I love lima bean. Happy new year 2014 !!!!

[@Monchichito]

These are absolutely beautiful. I will be trying them in my kitchen. I love lima beans and can't wait to give them a taste!

[@HamCubes]

Magnificent! Those look very pretty and tasty. Finally - a way to get kids to eat their Lima beans.

[@phthalo4673]

This is a great pastry! Would you please consider posting a video on how to make "Sesame Balls?" I don't know what the name is in Korean, but they're SO good, and I bet yours would be the best, and the video would be fun, because you make everything fun.

[@Maangchi]

Greek caption is available now. Sofia Anna did the caption for my Greek speaking viewers! Thanks a lot!

[@chowfun1976]

Maangchi this looks so delicious! It reminds me of the Chinese moon cakes my mom always got that were filled with sweet lotus seed puree. Tastes sooo good with hot tea :-)

[@Sanbika89]

I like it when the cooks have accents, like Korean cooks having Korean accents and French cooks have French accents...makes the food seem more authentic from a superficial point of view XD

[@moonstone1217]

Watching all your videos makes me SOOO hungry!

[@youngola8612]

Thank you maangchi i try all of your cooking and you are the prince chef .. 💙 💙 💙 💙 💙 💙 💙 💙 love yooooooou

[@Maangchi]

Young Ola love you, too! Happy cooking! : )

[@internationalrecipes5529]

Dear Maangchi, please don't take my joke personally when I said " I hate you with your cooking recipes coz they make me hungry". I usually browse them at night and in bed, just watching how it turns out, really, really makes me hungry, I cannot eat at those times due my medical condition, I am, in fact, placed an order for your new book for release in May, please, Don't feel bad, luv, luv your cooking, I'm bad, I apologize! Thanks and more power to you!

[@Maangchi]

@koolilaura yes, you can. Happy cooking!

[@Maangchi]

@kittyangel88880 yes, butter beans is the other name for lima beans. good luck!

[@Maangchi]

Hi, just wanted to thank you for sharing this recipe it was so simple to make yet delicious! I made this today and i loved it! :D i never expectdd it to taste this good considering that it had beans but it was realy good

[@Maangchi]

@cathy3305 touching story! When you make this, you will think about your mom. Good luck!

[@Maangchi]

You can use red beans (azuki beans).

[@Maangchi]

You can find these at any baking supply stores.

[@Maangchi]

@TensaiHimeSama Yes, some of my readers have already made manju with red beans.

[@Maangchi]

@kitsunesphere Yes, you can replace lima bean filling with red bean or mung bean filling, too. Check out a photo of manju that my reader made on my website. She used red bean filling.

[@Maangchi]

@sanzoparty1066 hopia! I should remember it. I'm glad to hear that your manju turned out good!

[@Maangchi]

@mouthsweet omg, it's great news! If you do it again, don't forget to take some photos and upload them with this story on my website. Many people will be impressed with your cooking skill and the fascinating story.

[@Maangchi]

[@Maangchi]

[@Maangchi]

@yarima13 wow, I'm impressed! You must be generally good at cooking because manju making is a little bit challenging for a beginner cook.

[@Maangchi]

@yoyomax12 I'm looking forward to seeing your manju! I am sure yours will look beautiful and delicious!

[@Maangchi]

@ninnagirl90 Was the dough too wet and sticky? If so, use flour just as I did in the video. Don't give up making beautiful manju. Practice makes perfect! cheers! : )

[@Maangchi]

@Yungliu yes, double the ingredients. Good luck!

[@zinamaspana]

Is it okay if I add food colouring to the dough so it can look different from the filling? And the manju pastry looks very delicious. I can't wait to try this. Nice video! :)
