Line a baking sheet with a parchment paper.
Bake for 20-30 minutes.

*skinned red bean paste can be purchased in some Korean grocery.

You can make it with canned lima bean or chick pea.
Drain beans, peel and grind in a food processor with some sugar to a fine paste.
I would add 2-3 tablespoons sugar to one-16 oz can.
Put in a pot, cook with very low heat to evaporate water so it becomes very thick paste.
