Black Bean & Okara Cake (Matcha & Kuromitsu Flavour)
- 300 grams Fresh okara
- 2 medium Egg
- 100 ml Soy milk
- 70 grams Boiled kuromame
- 2 stick Matcha (I used store-bought matcha latte mix)
- 1 tbsp Kuromitsu
- 100 grams Koshi-an (store-bought)
- 3 Brown sugar coated walnuts (store-bought)
- 1 tbsp Condensed milk
- 1 Used tea leaves (optional)
- Prepare the kuromame by soaking for 4-6 hours and boiling them.
- Make the cake batter by mixing the fresh okara with the matcha until it's evenly distributed.
- Separate the egg whites and yolks.
- Mix the egg yolks with 1/2 of the kuromitsu and soy milk.
- Whip the egg whites until soft peaks form, then add the rest of the sugar and continue to whip until stiff peaks form.
- Mix the egg yolk mixture into the okara mixture in 2 batches, add the black soy beans and stir in until evenly distributed.
- Add the whipped egg whites to the okara mixture in 2 batches, folding gently after each addition.
- Pour the mixture into the rice cooker pot and drop the pot from a height onto a surface to eliminate excess air bubbles.
- Cook in the rice cooker.
- Do this by first leaving the cake to cook on the normal rice cooking mode until it's half-baked.
- Then set it to cook again on quick cooking mode.
- To cool the cake, switch off the warming function, then open the lid and allow it to cool inside the rice cooker.
- Let the cake thoroughly cool until you can easily remove it from the rice cooker pot, then it's ready to eat.
- Here is another variation to this recipe: Mix used green tea leaves into the batter in place of the black soy beans, then sandwich some koshi-an and brown sugar walnuts for an authentic Japanese confectionary.
- For this version, the egg yolk should be mixed with 1 tablespoon of kuromitsu and the egg white should be mixed with 1 tablespoon of condensed milk.
- The cake should contain 100 g of koshi-an and 3 brown sugar walnuts.
- One cake is 145 kcal.
