Pressure cook them for 15 minutes until soft.

Remove it back to the counter, press it and divide it into 8 equal portions.

Make large lemon sized balls out of the red bean paste filling.

Shape the dough into a thick disc, place the filling inside and bring the sides of the dough to cover the filling.

Keeping the seam side down, use a pair of scissors to make cuts around the edge. Make 8 cuts leaving the centre intact.
