Sweet white bean paste - What this mean ( and dont joke )

Answer 1

Sweet bean paste is a food ingredient used in several Asian cuisines. Within Chinese cuisine, it is primarily used as a filling for sweet desserts and Chinese pastry.

The beans are usually boiled without sugar, mashed, and diluted into a slurry. The slurry is then strained through a sieve to remove the bean skins. The resulting sandy liquid is then filtered and squeezed dry using cheesecloth, and then finally sweetened. Oil in the form of either vegetable oil or lard is usually added to the relatively dry paste to improve its texture and mouthfeel.

Oiled sweet bean paste is mainly found as fillings for Chinese pastries, while un-oiled sweet bean pastes can be used to make tong sui. Japanese sweets pastries use primarily un-oiled sweet bean pastes.

Although they are called "sweet beans" by many non English natives in Asia. This is one of the many examples of incorrect English utilized by many people in Asian Countries, especially Japan.
