Deep-fried Yellow Bean Paste

Ingredients

110 gr moong beans
8 gr flour
6 gr curry paste
16 ml soy sauce
4 gr sugar
2 slices kaffir lime leaves
50 gr sugar
90 ml rice vinegar
1 gr salt

Instructions

In a mortar pound the drained moong beans to form a paste. Add the other ingredients in turn, stirring well. Pluck a small piece of the paste and form into a ball the size of a walnut.

Allow to cool before serving.
