How it's used

Refers specifically to the smooth, sweetened paste made from adzuki beans, which is a staple in traditional Cantonese dim sum and desserts. While it is often used as a filling for buns or pancakes, it is also frequently served as a warm, sweet soup known as 豆沙糖水. The texture is typically thick and velvety, distinguishing it from whole red bean soups.

Common mistake

Learners often confuse this with 蓮蓉, which is lotus seed paste. While both are common sweet fillings, 豆沙 is distinctly made from red beans and has a darker, reddish-brown color compared to the lighter, yellowish hue of 蓮蓉.
