Pound cake I made a pound cake with black beans and brown sugar. This time, I added 5g of black bean and brown sugar powder. The finished product had a dark appearance, but it didn't taste like kinako (roasted soybean flour). It seems I didn't add enough powder. Also, this time, the baking method [...]
Steamed bread This is my second time making Chinese-style steamed buns (with added soy sauce and baking soda). The finished product tasted more like store-bought ma lai gao than last time, but there still wasn't enough soy sauce (and sugar?). There was too much flour […]
Jelly This time, I tried using Mitsuya Cider to make carbonated jelly with plum syrup. The finished product had a different fizziness because I changed the carbonated drink. It seems the fizziness will be the same as the carbonated drink you use. Also, when pouring carbonated […]
Jelly This time, we made carbonated jelly with pineapple. The sweetness of the finished product was just right, so I think the amounts of sugar and syrup (from the canned pineapple) were good. On the other hand, perhaps because there was too much water (hot water used to dissolve the gelatin), the carbonation's fizzle […]
Jelly This time, we made carbonated jelly with plum syrup. The finished product, perhaps because I didn't add sugar, felt a bit lacking in sweetness if you only ate the jelly part. However, it was delicious when eaten with the plums. The fizzy sensation of the carbonation was refreshing and […]
Jelly This time, we made milk kanten with mitsumame. The finished product was delicious with the light sweetness of milk, mitsumame, and fruit, even without adding extra sugar. Mitsumame Milk Kanten Recipe (Ingredients) # Ingredients Grams (g) Calorie […]
Jelly Making carbonated jelly with canned mandarin oranges. The finished product was a bit loose, almost gooey when scooped, perhaps because there wasn't enough gelatin. On the other hand, the sweetness was just right, and it was delicious. The carbonation was a little weak, but it still had a fizzy sensation, and […]
Steamed bread This time, I tried adding baking soda (a pinch, about 0.5g?) to the black tea steamed bread. I wanted to see if this amount would make it rise enough and if it would reduce the unique smell of baking soda. The finished product, compared to using 2g of baking soda, had a slightly reduced fluffiness […]
Pound cake This time, I made a pound cake with raisins. To prevent the raisins from sinking, I thoroughly coated each raisin with flour (making sure the flour got into the crevices of the raisins). Unfortunately, when it was done, the raisins had sunk again […]
Steamed bread This time, I tried making a Chinese-style steamed bread by adding soy sauce and baking soda. The finished product had a flavor similar to the store-bought Malai gao (steamed cake), but the taste was too faint, likely because the amount of soy sauce was too little or the amount of flour was too much. I also added a small amount of baking soda to give it a yellowish color, but the color was also light. I need to rethink the recipe. […]
