Microwaved Uguisu-Mochi
- 100 grams Shiratamako
- 170 ml Water
- 150 grams Caster sugar
- 5 grams Egg white
- 375 grams Koshi-an
- 1 Green (uguisu) kinako
- Roll the koshi-an into 25 g balls.
- Put shiratamako in a heatproof bowl.
- Add a little water and knead into a ball (until it is about the same softness of an earlobe).
- Make sure that there is no lumps.
- Add the rest of the water and mix until smooth.
- Then, add the sugar and melt.
- Cover the bowl with cellophane wrap and microwave for 3 minutes (This is for when you are using 650 W).
- When you take it out, it will be watery and some parts would solidify.
- Mix evenly and heat again for 3 minutes.
- When you take it out, the whole thing would be solid.
- Then knead well.
- Heat again for 1 minute and knead.
- When you stretch the dough about 30 cm and the dough doesn't rip or stick when you touch it with your hands, it is done.
- Add egg white and mix.
- Then heat for 1 minutes and mix evenly again.
- When the dough is smooth and shinny, it is OK.
- Lay on a surface with roasted soy flour and cut into half.
- Then cut into 15 portions while it is still warm.
- Cover the red bean paste with the dough.
- Shape into a barrel.
- Pinch both ends and make a puffy uguisu (bush warbler bird) shape.
- Then sprinkle roasted soy beans flour with a tea strainer.
- I like to eat it with lots of soy bean flour.
