Honestly, take it from a demichino: red bean paste is garbage unless homemade. It's easy as fuck go mane from scratch, too, and no: it doesn't specifically have to be red mung beans. You can use red kidney with little, if any at all, discernible difference.
I make it vegan, not for any particular reason other than we've always got coconut oil in the house and seldom ever have lard. Just boil the beans, press them through a sieve to deskin them then cook in a pan with a little coconut oil (or lard), sugar, water and a pinch of salt. That's literally it. I have no idea what the shopbought version of something so simple is so awful but it is.
I spread that shit on toast, stuff it into crepe rolls, stuff it into compressed rice (lepet isi selai kacang merah), eat it as a layer in shave ice or just eat with a bread roll. It's good shit homemade. I use vanilla sugar in mine, which makes it uniquely delicious but do what you want.
