Black Soybean Steamed Bread
Kuromame (sweetened black soybeans) are a standard item for oshogatsu New Year's feasts. Since I love them, every year, I buy the large black soybeans from the Tanba-Sasayama region, and simmer them for 6 to 8 hours. But every year, I have leftover liquid from stewing them. It's supposed to be good for your health, but since it's full of sugar, it doesn't seem right to drink it. I usually toss it out with regret since it seems wasteful, however, last year, at New Year's, when making basic steamed bread, I substituted the milk and sugar with the leftover liquid and they turned out great!
The key to making these is the same as basic steamed bread. Adjust the amount of sugar depending on the sweetness of the liquid you have. Add a tablespoon of sugar if it's not sweet enough. If you don't have a cup of liquid, substitute with milk. When mixing, don't stir too much. For those who don't have a steamer, boil a small amount of water in a sauce pan, then set a bowl or plate inside, and steam one by one. Test the recipe with half the amount first. Recipe by Shirufi-

Cooking Instructions
- 1
These are the items to prepare. To the right of the aluminum muffin cups is aluminum-free baking powder.
- 2
To weigh in the cake flour, set a sieve on a kitchen scale with a light-weight tray underneath, then set the scale to zero. Then measure in 200 g of cake flour.
- 3
Here are the kuromame and the stewed liquid. I use about 190 ml of liquid. Drain the liquid from the kuromame.
- 4
Set the steamer over water and bring to a boil on high heat.
- 5
Sift the cake flour and baking powder into a bowl, add the stewed liquid and salt, then fold the ingredients together with a spatula. Don't mix the batter too much. If mixing the beans into the batter (instead of using them as topping), mix them in at this stage.
- 6
Pour into aluminum muffin cups, and top with the kuromame. Since the beans will shift to the edges when the bread rises while steaming, place them in the center.
- 7
Place the filled cups in the steamer, cover with a tea towel, then the lid (I recommend folding the corners of the towel up over the lid). Steam on high heat for 10 minutes, then they're ready! There, you have fuffy, soft, and chewy kuromame steamed bread!
- 8
Key points: Measure out the ingredients properly; lightly fold in ingredients; and place the filled cups in the steamer when plenty of steam is rising.
- 9
This is how they look when topped with the kuromame.
- 10
This is what they look like with the kuromame mixed into the batter.

Chewy Steamed Bread Chewy Steamed Bread
I had leftover snow cone syrup and leftover pumpkin paste and wondered if I could use these up in the steamed bread.It is hard to mix the mayonnaise and water, so I recommend adding a small amount of water at a time. Personally, I mix them all at once even though it is hard to do. Either ways would make the bread fluffy and chewy. Also, you will not taste the mayonnaise at all, so don't worry.

Soft Chocolate Steamed Bread Soft Chocolate Steamed Bread
Whenever I look at fresh cream and chocolate I get the urge to bake a cake, but I've been making and eating too many recently, so I made a slightly healthier steamed bread instead.You can use milk instead of the cream, but using cream will make the steamed bread more moist. You can mix leftover cream with milk too.If you weigh the cream, you won't need a measuring cup and you have one less thing to wash up.I don't have a steamer, so I steam the bread in a frying pan. If you steam the bread in a mug in the microwave, please check the microwaving time, and keep in mind that the batter will double in volume. Recipe by Chibatama -

I knew how to make oil-free steamed bread, so I made a chewy version.You could use juice or coconut milk instead of milk.To get the marbled effect, when the dough is done, fill all the muffin cups halfway. Mix in a tablespoon of cocoa powder (or instant coffee or matcha) to the remaining batter and pour into the half-filled muffin cups. Drag a toothpick through the batter to swirl the two batters.If it's a bother, you can just make two different types of batter without the marbleized effect. Recipe by nathu -
