glutinous rice flour for dusting

step2: how??
1. heat the red beans paste in a small pot, stir it till dry. remove from the heat
2. in a bowl stir together the rice flour and sugar.while mixing with a spoon or small stiff spatula, pour in the water.
3.Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, and microwave for 1 minute.then stir it well and put it back into the microwave for another minute.
