Recipe - Baa Yir (Deep-Fried Yellow Bean Paste)

4 ounce Beans, moong, dried
1 tablespoon Flour, allpurpose
2 teaspoon Red curry paste
1 tablespoon Soy sauce, light
1 teaspoon Sugar, granulated
2 Kaffir lime leaves
Oil; for deepfrying

THE SAUCE
4 tablespoon Sugar, granulated
6 tablespoon Vinegar, rice
One half teaspoon Salt

Soak the moong beans in water for 30 minutes; drain. Roll the kaffir
leaves into thin cigarettes; slice into slivers. 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. Do not mould too tightly. Deepfry the balls until
golden brown, drain and serve with the thick sweet sauce below.
THE SAUCE: Gently heat the three ingredients until the sugar dissolves.
Allow to cool before serving.
