菓子 (Dessert)


黄身しぐれ Kimishigure (Steamed Sweet Bean Paste - Egg Yolk Dough with Matcha-flavored Bean Paste Inside)

This was my very first try and it was not a great success, honestly.
Here’s some pics that give you an idea of how these are made, if you’re interested.

I guess I made a mistake when copying the recipe … the amount of joshinko flour seemed too little, and I had to add more and more of it to make the dough handlable. So I couldn’t get the texture right. Ideally, the green color of matcha-flavored bean paste inside should have shown in the cracks… Well, I’m going to try making this dessert again, so better luck next time. :)

  6. Well, of course I was the only guest, and yeah, I was happy with the meal, but not so much with the washing part... :)
