‘Kinako’ is finely ground Roasted Soy Beans. It is a very popular food in many north Asian countries. As it is 100% Soy Beans, it is becoming popular as a healthy food in Melbourne where I live. This is my super quick and easy ‘Kinako’ Mug Cake recipe. I add 1 tablespoon ‘Kinako’ as I like subtle flavour of it, but you may wish to add more.

Steps

5 minutes

1

Combine Oil (OR melted Butter), Brown Sugar and Salt in a mug. Add Egg and mix well until smooth. Add ‘Kinako’ and Self-Raising Flour, and mix well. *Note: Chopsticks are the best tool to mix.
2

Microwave for 60 to 90 seconds OR until cooked. Try not to over-cook it as the cake turns hard and dry. I used 1000W microwave and 80 seconds was a little too long.

*Note: Today I enjoyed it with whipped Cream sweetened with Muscovado.
