Taro Manju with Sticky Sauce

I usually make croquettes with leftover taro, but since breadcrumbs are tricky to use and I'm watching my calories, I took a hint from my favorite taro mochi, and tried this recipe. It turned out great!
I pan-fried these, but if calories are not a concern, you can also deep-fry them!
The ankake sauce has a very strong flavor, so dilute with water if you prefer a thinner sauce. Recipe by John Lee Cooker

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Soften the taro roots by either boiling or steaming, then mash them while still hot and mix in the ☆ ingredients. Divide into 6 portions.
- 2
For rolling the balls in Step 4, wet your hands so the dough doesn't stick.
- 3
Combine the ● ingredients in a bowl and mix until sticky. Divide into 6 portions and roll into balls.
- 4
Roll out the dough from Step 1 with the center thicker than the periphery (as when making gyoza skins). Wrap the mixture from Step 3.
- 5
Form the manju into 2-3cm thick balls and lightly sprinkle with katakuriko. Heat a fair amount of oil in a pan over medium-low heat, then arrange the manju in the pan.
- 6
Once the manju are lightly browned on one side, flip and cover the pot and steam until fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes.
- 7
Remove the lid, increase the heat and fry until both sides are browned and crisp. Remove excess oil and plate.
- 8
For the ankake sauce, heat the △ ingredients in a small pot over medium heat, stirring frequently. Once it begins to bubble, remove from heat and pour over Step 7.
- 9
I recommend making your own ankake sauce, but you can also try them with your favorite store-bought sauce, such as okonomiyaki sauce, ketchup, or ponzu sauce.

My son loves them with ketchup and mayo.

Sake Lees Manju (Steamed Buns) Sake Lees Manju (Steamed Buns)
I came up with this recipe by recalling the type of manju I used to eat. It was my first time making them, so the shapes were irregular and the anko (sweet adzuki bean paste) spilled out a bit, but the taste turned out just right.If the dough is too dry, it will break apart when wrapping the red bean paste, so be sure it is on the soft side. Since my husband likes tsubu-an, I used it in this recipe, but it will also work with koshi-an. Recipe by konomin02 cookpad.japan -
Don't Let Them Roll Away! Rolly Taro in Sesame and Miso Sauce Don't Let Them Roll Away! Rolly Taro in Sesame and Miso Sauce
I wanted to make a lot of food in a short amount of time. With stewed dishes, the flavors don't really come out until long after turning off the heat, so I relied on miso, sesame, and katakuriko to bring out the flavors of the ingredients. This dish was finished in no time at all! It also tastes great using nagaimo.Because of the reduced cooking time, I use katakuriko to bring out the flavor in the sauce. If you have the time to cook it longer, stew the sauce and the taro together; the starch in the taro will thicken the sauce. In that case, you shouldn't need any katakuriko.

Wild sesame is very similar to black sesame seeds used in sweets. Since the flavor is so good, I use it in place of regular sesame seeds when cooking. It also supposedly contains neutral fats and helps lower cholesterol, so eating it will apparently help you live 10 years longer. Plus, I can use it often to make local dishes from my hometown, which is why it's one of my favorite ingredients.-Boil the gnocchi over medium heat to create a plump and delicious texture straight through to the centers.-Roast the wild sesame in a frying pan over low heat until they begin to pop. Grinding the seeds with a mortar and pestle enhances their flavor. Recipe by *chifon* cookpad.japan
