Easy Manju
I don't have a steamer, so I just made this easy-to-make baked manju in the oven.
It's homemade, and only costs about 20 yen each. 1 manju = about 90 kcal.
When I say "leftover egg" at Step 6, I mean the other half of the medium sized egg, since we're only using one half for the batter. The butter can be salted or unsalted.
I wanted to add some richness and moistness, which is why I used condensed milk, but you can just make this with sugar (about 40 g in that case) as well. Recipe by TakiRumi
