Instructions

  1. Place Shiratamako In a microwave-safe bowl and add half of the water gradually while stirring continuously.
  2. Add rest of the water to combine well.
  3. Add Joshinko, sugar and cinnamon to the microwave-safe bowl and mix well. The mixture should resemble a thick batter consistency.
  4. Cover the bowl with cling wrap or a microwave-safe plate, leaving a small vent for steam to escape.
  5. Place the bowl in the microwave and cook on high power for approximately 1 minute 30 seconds on 600w.
  6. Open the microwave door carefully (watch out for escaping steam) and check if the dough has thickened and is slightly transparent.
  7. Using a spatula or wooden spoon, mix the partially cooked dough until smooth and put it back in the microwave for a further 30 seconds. Take it out and stir till all becomes transparent and cooked through.
  8. Dust your work surface with kinako soybean flour to prevent sticking.
  9. Transfer the dough onto the prepared surface and also dust more kinako over the dough to prevent sticking, roll out thinly and evenly about 1/16 inch (2-3mm) thick. Cut it into square pieces.
  10. Dust off the surface of Yatsuhashi with a brush and place 1 tsp of anko sweet azuki bean paste slightly off center of each square piece.
  11. Fold the edges of the dough over the filling, creating a triangle shape.

Notes

  • *1 You can replace cinnamon with matcha powder to make matcha flavoured yatsuhashi. 
  • *2 Cooking time does not include making Anko azuki paste time.
