Light and Fluffy Sweet Egg Manjuu (Dumplings) Light and Fluffy Sweet Egg Manjuu (Dumplings)
I thought of a cute, egg-like sweet that uses high quality eggs.My microwave oven is 600 W. The microwave cooking time depends on your microwave and the humidity. I recommend that you microwave it for a shorter time in the summer.When wrapping the dough around the filling, put the dough that is waiting in a container and cover with plastic wrap to prevent from drying out.If you freeze the leftover egg white immediately, you can use it later for making other sweets, and it won't go to waste. For 8 dumplings. Recipe by iano

Chunky Sweet Potato Dumplings Chunky Sweet Potato Dumplings
I thought that this particular type of dumplimgs were available nationwide, but a friend from another region didn't know about them, so I made them for her and wrote down the recipe while I was at it too.Storebought dumplings tend to be heavy with a lot of dough, and are often very sweet, so I reduced the dough, increased the potatoes and cut down on the sweetness.By sprinkling the sweet potato with sugar to bring out their moisture, the potatoes will become soft and flaky!Apparently "ogre dumplings (oni-manjuu)" were so named because of their rough texture, which reminded people of the bumpy sticks that oni (ogres from Japanese folklore) carried. Serve them in a hearty pile to enhance their rough bumpy appearance.Don't leave the sweet potatoes in the sugar in step 1 for too long, or the potatoes will lose their flavor. For 6 large + 3 small dumplings. Recipe by noeruchi -

I received potatoes from Hokkaido, so I made these.In Step 1, soak the potato in a bowl of water briefly before cooking!In Step 4, cook the dumplings until they are slightly browned. They taste better that way when they're coated with the sauce, which will flavor the dumplings.If you like lots of sauce, double the amount of the sweet-savory sauce. Recipe by bvivid -

These dumplings are really easy and simple, and taste delicious cold. They contain lots of sweet potato, so they're a snack ideal for curing constipation. They are filling too, so perfect for breakfast!!The key to a glutinous, chewy texture is the golden ratio of 4 parts sugar: 4 parts white flour: 1 part shiratama-ko (rice flour). Adjust the amounts depending on how much potato you have.If you soak the cut up sweet pototoes for a long time, they will cook up to a pretty golden color.These dumplings are also delicious made with red sweet potatoes or kabocha squash.
