When i used to live in Indonesia , we had this street vendor selling bakpao , or , steamed buns , that has so many different fillings , such as pork , chicken , or red beans or yellow beans . My favourite was always the yellow beans . Few days ago i learned to make the fillings for chinese pastry , or kue pia . And it reminds me of home .. and so , i thought last night .. why not trying it for the steamed buns . Although this is using lima beans .. it still tastes delicious , i am sure we can always use the yellow beans they sell at asian market . But i have no time for that .. i used lima beans , from regular grocery store at Mexican Aisle .. I soaked the beans overnight , and peeled them off this morning before cooking it . I am pretty happy with the result .. i’ve made 16 of them and i froze half of it . Here is what you need : Soak 1 cup of lima beans overnight with a lot of water .
