300ml milk

Directions:

2. Pour the sauce into the cake pan before it gets hard.
((Kabocha Custard))
1. Wrap Kabocha with plastic wrap and microwave at 600w for 8 minutes. Scoop out the Kabocha flesh with a spoon. Then strain through a strainer.
2. Beat eggs in a bowl, then mix in a few drops of vanilla extract.
3. Add milk and sugar in the saucepan (which you made the caramel), then heat until warm. *you can clean off the caramel at the same time, not to waste it.
4. Mix in the warm milk mixture (4.) into the egg mixture (3.). Add the mixture into the mashed Kabocha. Then strain through a strainer to make it smooth.
5. Pour the mixture over the caramel in the cake pan.
((Bake))
1. Preheat the oven to 170C (338F).
2. Place the cake pan on a baking sheet. Pour some hot water (half the height) into the baking sheet. Bake at 170C (338F) for 50 minutes.
3. Place it on a wire rack to cool and put in the fridge until cold. Flip it over onto a plate to serve.

Note: You can grease the pan with some oil or butter so the pudding will slip out easily.

How to Make Shiratama Worms for Halloween - Video Recipe

This is a fun Wagashi (Japanese confectionery) idea for halloween!!!


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=owrIhzg424w

It tastes just like Dango (Japanese sweet dumplings).
I hope you like this idea :)



---------------------------------
Shiratama Worms

Difficulty: Easy
Time: 25min
Number of servings: 20 worms

Ingredients:
50g (1.8oz.) Shiratamako (lumpy glutinous rice flour)
1/2 tsp. Matcha green tea powder
50ml~ water
Kinako (soybean flour) *finely chopped nuts are okay
Kuromitsu (brown sugar syrup) *honey is okay

Directions:
1. Put Shiratamako, Matcha and water in a bowl and knead the dough with your hand until smooth. Adjust the texture by adding more Shiratamako or water until the dough turns as soft as your earlobe.
2. Form the dough into worm-like small strips.
3. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Gently drop Shiratama worms in the boiling water. After a few minutes, Shiratama worms will float to the surface. Boil for another 1-2 minutes. Then remove from the boiling water and transfer into cold water (to cool and remove the slimy texture). After a minute, drain well.
4. Place Kinako and Kuromitsu on a plate or in a flat container, then place the worms on top.

*You can store the Dumplings in the freezer. When you eat, defrost at room temperature OR microwave OR cook in boiling water.
*You can store the Dumplings in the fridge for 3 hours but they can easily get hard, so I don't recommend it.

This is the Goya no Tsukudani (Salty Sweet Bitter Melon for rice) that my grandma recommended in this video ;)

You must try it out!!! It is really good and goes great with white rice. The bitter taste of Goya and spicy taste of ginger match up very well. Using Mizkan's Ajipon is the key to this refreshing salty sweet flavor. Soft squid makes it really tasty. Perfect side dish for rice!!!

Goya no Tsukudani (Salty Sweet Bitter Melon for rice)

Difficulty: Very Easy
Time: 30min
Number of servings: N/A

Ingredients:
2 Goya (500g = 1.1lb. bitter melon)
100g (3.5oz.) ginger
50g (1.7oz.) dried shredded squid
A
* 100ml Mizkan Ajipon
* 75ml Mirin (sweet Sake)
* 25g sugar
2 tbsp. toasted white sesame seeds

Directions:
1. Cut both ends of Goya, then cut in half lengthwise. Scrape off the seeds with a spoon and slice into thin half rounds. Cook in a boiling water for about 1-2 minutes, then drain well. *in this way you can remove the bitter taste of the Goya.

4. Cool in a strainer, then toss with toasted white sesame seeds.

You can put it in an airtight container or a Ziploc bag and keep in the fridge for a few months.
