Soufflé omelet. It turned out like a chiffon cake.

This time, I decided to make tamagoyaki using a pound cake mold, giving it a soufflé-like (with meringue) texture.   The finished product had the appearance of a chiffon cake, but since there were no ingredients to maintain its rise (like flour?), it didn't […]

Pound cake

Lemon pound cake. Based on muffin ingredient ratios.

This time, I tried making a lemon pound cake, referencing muffin ingredient ratios. The finished product was softer, lighter, and fluffier than my usual pound cakes. With 10g of lemon juice, it had a subtle lemon flavor […]

Steamed bread

Chinese-style steamed bun 3. Shrunk a lot, not enough steaming time?

This is my third time making Chinese-style steamed buns (with soy sauce and baking soda). This time, to make the flavor richer, I reduced the amount of flour (from 50g to 40g). The finished product had a richer flavor than last time, but perhaps because I reduced the amount of flour, or when steaming […]

Pound cake

Black Bean Brown Sugar Pound Cake 2. Increased black beans and brown sugar, with an enhanced kinako flavor and sweetness.

Making a pound cake with black beans and brown sugar. This time, I added 10g of black bean and brown sugar powder. The finished cake had a stronger kinako aroma and was sweeter than when I used 5g of powder. Also, this time I added about two pinches of baking soda, which made the ca […]

Steamed bread

Steamed bread with black beans and brown sugar 2. Increased black beans and brown sugar, enhanced kinako flavor.

This is my second time making steamed bread with black bean brown sugar powder. This time, I added 10g of black bean brown sugar powder. As expected, increasing the amount of powder resulted in a stronger kinako (roasted soybean flour) flavor. The texture was fluffy. Also, […]

Jelly

Carbonated jelly with mandarin oranges. 30g of sugar makes it perfectly sweet.

This time, I tried making a carbonated jelly with canned mandarin oranges.   The finished product had just the right sweetness by adding 30g of sugar. I used Wilkinson's strong carbonated water, but the fizziness was weak. Carbonated […]

Jelly

Mandarin orange milk kanten. Not sweet enough without sugar.

This time, I tried making milk kanten with canned mandarins.   The finished product, perhaps because I didn't use sugar this time, was subtly sweet and refreshing. I felt the kanten could use a little more sweetness. Depending on the canned fruit, [...]

Pound cake

Black bean and brown sugar pound cake. Dark in appearance, without a kinako flavor.

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

Chinese-style steamed buns 2. Not enough sugar and soy sauce?

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

Sparkling jelly with plum syrup. The fizz made with Mitsuya Cider changes.

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 […]
