When I made coarsely mashed sweet bean paste at home, I decided to use it up by making it into Japanese sweets.I referred to the way my mother-in-law makes yokan, and made a few changes.I didn't add sugar or salt, because the bean paste was already sweetened.You can make mizu-yokan (yokan jelly) using 200g of an (sweet bean paste) and 200 ml of water in summer.

This recipe is related to my "Thin Toasted Barley Flour Roasted Sesame Crackers", so from Step 3 onward, the process is the same. Both use a lot of sesame seeds that are great for intestinal cleansing.In Step 2, the dough will be a bit dry at first, but if you continue to mix it, the sugar will start to dissolve and help moisten the dough. If the dough is still dry, add a bit of milk. Adjust the baking time to suit your oven. For 1 oven tray's worth. Recipe by miyuki12

All of a sudden, I thought "Couldn't I make this with things I already have in my pantry?"If you add too much food coloring, the color will just look tacky, so watch over it.*The first picture looks slightly muted, but it's a much softer pastel color.

This dish is addictive for teens. I'm not exactly a teen, but I love it.

Just get tired of the same ole same ole. When I was a kid I was watching an episode of "Gomer Pyle, USMC" and he made bacon by frying in a pan then while it was set aside but still hot sprinkled sugar on top I tried it loved it as I got older I started deglazing with white wine so here it is hipe you enjoy!

The rule in our house is to eat the first chestnuts of the season simply by boiling them.I turned the leftover chestnuts into paste.It's so fun to think what I'm going to make with the paste.There is little syrup, so be careful not to burn it on the bottom in Step 3.If you have a dried gardenia fruit to add yellow color, add one at the syrup making stage.If you puree the paste in a food processor, a few little lumps will remain. If that bothers you or you plan to use it for something like Mont Blanc, I recommend passing the paste through a strainer. For about 400 g of paste. Recipe by Makunouchi
