My husband finally gave me an oven as his advance Christmas gift for me! Was so ecstatic I can finally bake lots of goodies! The first on my list was this: Manju! But I did not have any lima beans, could not find them so I used red bean – cinnamon filling instead. =) Yum! Thanks for the recipe Maangchi and I hope you had a wonderful Christmas! Happy New year! =)
Have a cool photo you want to share?
My cookbooks
Which to get? my first book has all the recipes for all the essential Korean pastes and sauces, but my second book Maangchi's Big Book of Korean Cooking has more recipes. Both are best sellers and either one is a good choice if you want to learn Korean home cooking.
