How to Make Tang Yuan

Thursday, 7 May 2015 / No Comments

Good day everyone, how was your day? Every day is our gift from God, so we need to enjoy our day in order to fill our self with blessed feeling.

Image taken from: chinasichuanfood

Well, today I want to share about how to make Chinese dessert. That’s Tang Yuan. This dessert is so much popular in China, served in many occasions like holiday and festival. The texture of Tang Yuan is soft and chewy maybe you can try this one at home.

To make the black sesame filling, we need black sesame powder or paste. You can try to search some in Asian stores or make your own toasted black sesame and then ground them into powders. In the next post I will share about how to make your own black sesame powder or paste.

Ingredients:

For Black Sesame

• 1 cup toasted black sesame

• 1 cup sugar or as needed

• 1/2 cup of lard or butter, melted

For Tang Yuan

• 2 cups glutinous rice flour

• 1 cup water

Instructions

To make the dough:

1. Mix the glutinous rice flour and water to make the dough. Keep kneading for couple of minutes until the smooth; shape the dough into a long log so that you can make similar pieces in the following step.

2. Take one piece and shape it to a bowl carefully. When shaping the bowl, we need to make the bottom thicker while the other parts uniform. If the bottom is too thin, the balls might break during the shaping process. Then scoop around 1/2 tablespoon to 1 tablespoon black sesame filling into the center. Seal the rice dumpling completely. If you are not skilled at sealing balls, try to shape the filling into balls too. This will make the process easier.

3. Shape the balls as round as possible gently.

4. Bring water to a boiling in a pot (the water should be at least 2 cm higher than the balls); cook the rice dumplings for 5-6 minutes or until they float on the surface.

5. Scoop out with the soup and serve with sugar, or sweet osmanthus or syrup.

Tang Yuan usually is served warm with syrup, sugar or fermented glutinous rice. In some parts of China, people love to eat meat dumplings with a savory soup base. You need to scoop one up and gently take one bite. Then say hello to the lovely filling.

Well, that’s all how to make this popular dessert. I hope you can try and enjoy this one. Have a nice day…

How To Make Dorayaki

Sunday, 3 May 2015 / No Comments

Good day guys, how was your day? I hope you have a great day.

Image taken from: itadakimasuanime

Well, since 2 weeks ago I have been intensively learning Japanese, so every spare time that I have is full of my best to practice Japanese. Today I practiced my listening with watching my beloved Japanese cartoon, that’s Doraemon. I’m sure Doraemon is such a popular cartoon not only in Japan, but in the world. Doraemon has a favorite dish that called as Dorayaki, if you are Dorameon’s fans I’m sure you want to try to eat a mountain of Dorayaki like what Doraemon did.

Image taken from: tstatic

Actually you can make Dorayaki by your own because the step is so simple, let’s see how to make Dorayaki by your own.

Ingredients:
- 4 large eggs
- 140 g (2/3 cup) sugar
- 2 Tbsp. honey
- 160 g (1⅓ cup*) all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp. baking powder
- 2 Tbsp. Water
- 1 tsp.oil
- 1 can Ogura-An or 18 oz/520 g homemade sweetened red bean paste

Steps:
1. Combine eggs, sugar, and honey. Whisk them well until the mixture become fluffy.
2. Put the flour and baking powder in the bowl and start to mix all together. Keep in the fridge to rest for 15 minutes.
3. Heat a frying pan over medium-low heat (close to low). The key to make the golden brown Dorayaki are, you need to dip a paper towel in oil and coat the bottom of the pan with the oil and then remove the oil completely. Pour 3 Tbsp. of the batter to create 8cm diameter pancakes. After the surface of the batter starting to bubble, flip over to cook the other side. Transfer to a plate. Cover up with a damp towel to prevent from drying. You do not need to oil the pan again. Continue making pancakes.
4. Put the red bean paste above the Dorayaki, put more in the center of Dorayaki so the shape of dorayaki will be curved. Wrap Dorayaki with plastic wrap until become ready to serve.

Now you can make and eat Dorayaki as much as Doraemon did. For a mother maybe Dorayaki can be a perfect idea to be served when your children need a snack. I hope you can enjoy Dorayaki and invite Doraemon to enjoy this sweet pancakes together.
Have a great day..
See you next time..
