Wagashi "Komugi-Manju" with a Fresh Herb Wagashi "Komugi-Manju" with a Fresh Herb
The season of fresh green is coming after cherry blossom. We love to taste the unique flavor of Japanese pepper leaves. This recipe is for a plain "Komugi (plain flour) Manjyu" with a fresh young leaf of Japanese pepper on its top!※It seems difficult to wrap a bean jam ball with a soft & sticky dough for beginners. So I reduce a quantity of water and make bean jam smaller (less liquid ingredient and smaller fillings than in its basic recipe of Komuki Manjyu). Instead of using less liquid ingredient, I put some yoghurt to make the bun softer and moister.

"Jouyo-Manjyu" is a king of buns, a traditional Japanese sweet which is a bean paste ball wrapped with dough of grated Yamaimo & rice flour. Yamaimo is a Yam, a kind of root vegetables. When we just say "Kome-ko=rice flour", we mention "joushin-ko". But I recommend to use "Jouyo-ko" for making "Jouyo-Manjyu" it's finer than Joushin-ko. The texture is very soft and "mochi mochi". I made baby harbor seals with it! -
