The name of this steamed bread, ganzuki, means "goose moon," and apparently was inspired by the sight of a flock of geese flying in the night sky. This is a very popular snack to serve with green tea in my home region of Iwate prefecture.I learned this recipe from my aunt. If you add 1 tablespoon of miso to the batter, it becomes miso ganzuki.You can mix sesame seeds in the batter if you like too.I used a 22 cm diameter metal sieve, but you could use a spring-form pan with the bottom pan removed and line with parchment paper. If you don't have a pan or a flat sieve, just line the steamer directly with parchment paper and pour the batter. The steaming time depends on the size of the pan, so check for doneness with a skewer. For 18-25 cm [7.1-9.8 in] diameter steam mold or stainless steel sieve worth. see hints.. Recipe by La Land

I wanted to create a quick breakfast.After adding the flour, mix the batter with a spatula, taking care not knead or over-mix.The firmness of the batter will change with the addition of jam, so make sure to add just a little milk (the recipe says 1 teaspoon, though the amount required depends on the consistency of the jam).

When I was small, I used to pick wild Japanese mugwort from my neighborhood to use for cooking. Since I don't see them anymore, I used yomogi flour instead.To prevent the hot water splashing onto the bread, be extra careful with the amount of water you use. Also take care when you're removing it from the pan. You can prevent the hot water from dripping if you double the liners (or place muffin cups inside), in which case you'd only need to lift out the cups inside. Recipe by Pukuttopukumaru

This recipe is a variation of "Easy, Springy Non-Oil Steamed Bread".I had a craving for macrobiotic oatmeal steamed buns.You can use the oatmeal as is, but the texture will become moist and chewy if you take the trouble to pulverize it into a powder.You can prevent condensation from dripping onto the buns by wrapping the steamer lid in cloth, and fixing it with a rubber band. (Don't let the cloth catch on fire!) Recipe by Miyakojika

I wanted to create a recipe for a snack I could make easily with my children.Just mix it up and steam.If using a frying pan to steam the bread, use a deep one so that the tops of the puffed up bread won't get stuck to the kitchen towel.If you're using regular or extra-rich milk, I think you can increase it to 160 ml.

I really wanted to eat a chewy steamed bread so I tried it at first with shiratamako. That didn't go too well, since shiratamako is supposed to be used for dango dumpling-like recipes, so I tried with mochiko instead and it worked!Pancake mix is quite sweet but mochiko isn't, so it's better to use more sugar here than in a 100% pancake mix recipe.This bread has a very light flavour so it's most delicious when served with a sweet spread like jam. For 6-10 servings. Recipe by Pukuttopukumaru

This pull-apart bread looks just like takoyaki! The aroma of the sauce is delightful while baking. The key is the toothpick you stick in!The origin of this recipe: When I saw the round shape of the pull-apart bread, it reminded me of takoyaki, so I decided to try making it with takoyaki-style seasoning. The bread dough is super fluffy! The contrast with the flavor might be interesting...

This is a variation of the oatmeal cinnamon steamed bread.I wanted to make this cherry blossom flavored steamed bread, so I can feel spring.You can use the oatmeal as it is, but try pulverizing it to enjoy moist and chewy bread.Wrapping the lid of the steamer with a cloth and securing it with a rubber band can prevent the steam from dripping when you open the steamer. (Be careful not to let the cloth catch on fire!) Recipe by Miyakojika

I wanted to try out an easy recipe to make steamed bead for my friend who can’t eat egg or dairy.Now it's turned into my breakfast staple.In step 1, combine the dry ingredients well. You don’t have to measure exactly, don't worry too much about small differences.In Step 2, try not to mix the batter too much otherwise you won't get a fluffy bread.Be careful to adjust microwaving times with your machine at home.You can also add matcha powder or kinako soybean powder for variety. Recipe by Ruridama. This recipe uses 1 small tupperware container.

This yuzu teawas so delicious, so I wanted to use it to make steamed bread.To prevent the hot water splashing onto the bread, be extra careful with the amount of water you use. Also take care when you're removing it from the pan. You can prevent the hot water from dripping if you double the liners (or place muffin cups inside), in which case you'd only need to lift out the interior cups. Recipe by Pukuttopukumaru

I used to make carrot steamed bread as baby food for my eldest daughter when she was young. I was using pancake mix everyday but now I use cake flour to save money. The photo shows the ones with soy milk and brown sugar.In Step 4, make sure the kitchen towel (to prevent water dripping onto the bread) is tightly wrung or it will touch the bread. For those using a gas range, pay extra attention. If you are using shallow ramekins, I suggest using a steamer rack (available at 100 yen shops). Using ramekins works best and helps the bread to expand fully.I made them less sweet so adjust to taste.It would be great if you could let me what way you decide to make these. Recipe by Genkimaria

I based this on my recipe for "Oatmeal Cinnamon Steamed Bread".I love the crust of kusa mochi (it's the same as chewy yomogi). So, I tried making a steamed pan with that taste.You could use the oatmeal as is, but the texture will be moister and chewier with the extra step of pulverizing it into a powder.Prevent condensation from dripping onto the buns by wrapping the steamer lid in cloth, and fixing it with a rubber band.
