I had to rename these rolls as i made them for all the empresses who attended the asian ladies high tea. It was out of the theme as The Host Empress, Sumi had prepared a complete menu for an English high tea with jams and clotted cream to go with the scones, several platters of sandwiches and 5 pots of different types of tea to choose from. The table was set with Royal Dolton fitted for the Queen of England. Thank you Your Highness, Sumi for being such a gracious host.
Ingredients:
150 gm cake flour - steam for 30 minutes, cool then sieve
150 gm koh fun
300 gm powdered sugar
8 - 10 tbsp water
4 tbsp wheat starch(tung mein fun), mix with 4 tbsp very hot boiling water
2 tbsp oil/shortening
1/4 tsp banana essence or essence of your choice
400 gm of red bean paste
Method:
Mix all the above except the red bean paste and knead to a smooth dough. Leave to rest.
Divide dough and red bean paste into 4 portions.
Using plastic wrap, roll one portion of the red bean paste out to 1/8 inch thick rectangle and roll dough to the same size and thickness as the red bean paste.
Top the red bean paste rectangle with the dough rectangle and roll up both ends to meet.
Chill before slicing.

koh fun is cooked fried glutinous rice. you should be able to get from the oriental store.
if you could not find it, look at green tea mooncake and in this recipe i prepared the koh fun from scratch
Is cake flour same as all purpose flour?

since banana rolls are made with glutinous rice flour and so is this. it must be quite similar
When you say to steam the cake flour, do you mean dry? Does it stay powdery after steaming?
anonymous
yes, steam the cake flour in their dry form/ it will not be wet if the condensation does not affect it. Sieve it when it is cooled
Hi Lily,

Hi Lily's when u say steam the cake flour, do u mean steam it with covered or just uncover,n how long should I steam it ?

when steaming is concerned, it has to be covered so as to catch the steam. Steam covered for 30 minutes
