Creamy Chocolate Mochi Dumplings Creamy Chocolate Mochi Dumplings
I made these for New Years, and everyone from the kids to my elderly grandparents loved them. These are great because they can be made whenever you feel like it, without taking much time, and can be made simply in the microwave. I think these would be really welcomed by the elderly as a Valentine's Day gift.The mochi dough is on the soft side, so if it's hard to handle, leave to cool down for 1-2 minutes. The dumplings should be on the small side, for a better flavor and texture balance. In step 3, you can blend the filling ingredients in a food processor. Please adjust the microwave time depending on your microwave oven. For 11-13 portions. Recipe by miyuki12

Melon Pan [Melon-Shaped Bun] Melon Pan [Melon-Shaped Bun]
Nope there is no melon in the bread. Thought I should note that first. Melon Pan is a Japanese sweet bread with a crisp cookie crust. It was originally made to resemble the shape of a melon. Newer recipes nowadays do incorporate melon, but here I am using pandan as the flavoring and the color.

Tangzhong Pai Bao (Hongkong Sweet Buns) Tangzhong Pai Bao (Hongkong Sweet Buns)
“Pai Bao” is a kind of Asian sweet buns, arranged and baked in long rows. Maxim’s Bakery Pai Bao in Hongkong has rich eggy and milky flavours, super soft and fluffy.Tangzhong (also known as a 'water roux') is a method used in breadmaking to create soft and fluffy bread which was originated by the Japanese. However, it was popularised throughout south-east Asia in the 1990s by a Chinese woman called Yvonne Chen who wrote a book called The 65° Bread Doctor. Using this method also allows bread to stay fresh for longer without needing to use artificial preservatives.Resources from Christine blog.
