Ingredients

  3. Remove the saucepan from heat and let it cool slightly for about 5 minutes.
  4. In a mixing bowl, combine the red bean paste and the Genshin chopped Jueyun chili. Mix well to ensure the chili is evenly distributed throughout the paste.
  5. Gradually fold the agar agar mixture into the red bean paste, ensuring that the mixture is smooth and homogenous.
  6. Pour the mixture into a rectangular or square mold, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  7. Allow the mixture to cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes, then transfer to the refrigerator to set for at least 2 hours.
  8. Once set, remove from the mold and cut into desired shapes. Serve chilled and enjoy the delightful contrast of flavors!
