A discussion of recent search trends

If you take a look at the latest Google search trends, you will see many keywords that at first glance are not directly related to sweets. However, we can decipher modern lifestyles and needs from them. For example, the keyword “8 hours of sleep” may be an expression of a deep desire to be free from daily stress and to relax both physically and mentally. These needs are thought to lead to interest in sweets that are easy to make and soothing, and healthy recipes that use ingredients that are kind to the body.

There is also a high interest in seasonal events such as the “Orionids meteor shower” and “Fireworks display today,” as well as sporting events such as the “Japan Series” and “Hakone Ekiden,” indicating a tendency to emphasize special experiences and shared enjoyment. For these occasions, sweets that are easy to share and can be enjoyed with family and friends, as well as gorgeous-looking homemade sweets that enhance the event, will be appreciated. The abundance of choices in the Rakuten Sweets genre suggests the potential of homemade sweets for these diverse life scenes.

Colors of a dreamy autumn night! Kabocha and Purple Sweet Potato Rice Flour Sticky Steamed Buns

Ingredients (for 6 muffin tins)

Material name amount
Rice flour (for confectionery) 100g
baking powder 5g
egg one (object)
Milk (or soy milk) 100ml
Light brown sugar (or sugar of your choice) 30g
Rice oil (or salad oil) 1 tablespoon
Pumpkin, without skin and seeds 50g
Purple sweet potato (without skin) 50g
(to taste) Cinnamon powder small quantity
Pumpkin seeds (for garnish) proper quantity

way of making

  1. [Let’s start with the prep!Peel the pumpkin and purple sweet potato, cut into small pieces, place in a baking dish, cover with plastic wrap, and microwave at 600W for 3 to 4 minutes until soft. When a bamboo skewer can easily pass through them, mash them with a fork or something while they are still hot to make a smooth paste.
  2. The first step in making magic dough!Crack the eggs into a bowl, add the cane sugar and mix well with a whisk. The key is to mix thoroughly until the sugar dissolves and the whole mixture becomes fluffy and white.
  3. [Adds a sense of moistness!Then add the milk and rice oil and mix gently until more evenly combined. Do not rush here, but mix carefully so that the mixture will blend well with the flours to be added later.
  4. [Let the powder shower down!In a separate bowl, sift the rice flour and baking powder together. Add this flour mixture all at once to the bowl of liquid you just added.This is the secret to good taste!Rice flour does not have gluten, so it can be overmixed, but it should be mixed crisply, scooping up from the bottom just enough to eliminate lumps. If you knead it too much, it will be too elastic, so just be gentle, until there are no more powdery bits.
  5. [Paint a two-color canvas!Divide the resulting dough evenly between two bowls. Add the mashed pumpkin paste to one and the purple sweet potato paste to the other. The bright golden color of the pumpkin and the fantastic purple color of the purple sweet potato. You will see two beautiful colors of dough spread before your eyes, just like an autumn sunset and night sky.
  6. Finally, pouring into the molds!Line a muffin mold or other container with glassine cups and pour in the pumpkin batter and purple sweet potato batter alternately with a spoon, or as desired. Mix lightly a few times with a bamboo skewer or the like, as if you were drawing a marble pattern, to create a fantastic gradation that looks more like a starry sky. Sprinkle pumpkin seeds at the end to make it look more festive.
  7. [Steaming with emotion!Bring water to a boil in a steamer and set the steamer with the mold in it when the steam rises well. Steam over medium heat for 12 to 15 minutes. A sweet and gentle aroma will gradually waft out from the lid. Steaming is complete when you stick a bamboo skewer into the dough and it does not stick to the dough. When cooking in a microwave oven, cover with plastic wrap and heat at 600W for 2 to 3 minutes, keeping an eye on it.
  8. [Enjoy the happiness of a hot meal!The hot steamed bread is fluffy and glutinous. The gentle aroma that spreads with the steam will gently envelop your tired body. It can be enjoyed even after the heat is removed, or reheated to give it a different appearance.

Here is the point!

The most important points of this recipe are the unique “glutinous” texture of rice flour and the beautiful “gradation of colors” created by seasonal pumpkin and purple sweet potato. Rice flour is not easy to overmix, but the trick is to mix it gently after adding the flours in order to create a fluffy texture. Also, the pumpkin and purple sweet potato should be heated thoroughly to make a smooth paste, which will mix evenly with the dough and create a smooth mouthfeel. Steaming time can be adjusted according to the equipment used at home, and if the dough does not stick to a bamboo skewer, it is a sign of completion. Please enjoy the harmony of colors and aromas while imagining the night sky in autumn.
