Langue de Chat is "cat's tongue-shaped thin cookies". I don't know why Shiroi Koibito is square-shaped… Anyways, it is very popular! haha



---------------------------------
5 Ingredients Shiroi Koibito (Chocolat Blanc et Langue de Chat)

Difficulty: Easy
Time: 1 hour
Number of servings: 30 cookies

Ingredients:
100g (3.5oz.) butter *salted is ok
100g cake flour *all purpose flour is ok
1 egg
60g (2.1oz.) granulated sugar
240g (8.5oz.) white chocolate

Directions:
1. Draw about an inch and a half squares (leaving about an inch between) on a piece of paper.
2. Melt butter in a microwave (in a microwavable dish) and cream it in a bowl. Add granulated sugar, egg, and cake flour (sift), in order and mix well. *Yes, you can add vanilla extract to taste.
3. Preheat the oven to 180C (356F).
4. Transfer the batter to a pastry bag and snip off the end. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, place the template under the parchment paper. Pipe out the batter in the squares (the batter will spread a little, so keep it smaller). Then remove the template. *You can bake 60 thin cookies.
5. Bake at 180C (356F) for 8-10 minutes. Let the cookies cool completely on the baking sheet.
6. Melt 120g (4.2oz.) white chocolate over a double boiler, line 6-inch square pan with plastic wrap (or use aluminium foil! I heard it is much easier and you may not need a square pan), then pour in the chocolate and spread evenly. Place it in the freezer to harden up a little bit. Cut it into 16 squares. *You can make 16 thin chocolates using a 6-inch square pan, so repeat the step to make 32 chocolates.
7. While the chocolate is soft, place it between two cookies. Place the cookies in the freezer to harden up completely.

You'd better keep the cookies in the fridge in summer.
You can store at the room temperature in winter, of course.

Difficulty: Super Easy
Time: 3 hrs (incl. cooling time)
Number of servings: 18×8cm (7x3inch) loaf pan

Ingredients:
200g (7oz.) cream cheese (softened)
200ml soy milk (or milk)

jam of your choice *I used raspberry jam

Directions:
1. Line the pan with plastic wrap.
2. Put marshmallows and soy milk (or milk) in a pot, put on low and stir constantly to melt the marshmallows (it takes about 7 minutes). It bubbles up but the bubbles will fade in a minute after you stop the heat.
3. Cream the cream cheese in a large bowl. Add (2.) 1/3 at a time and mix well.
4. Place the bowl over a bowl of ice water. Add lemon juice, then mix until thick (about 20 minutes).

6. Cover with plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for 1-2 hours until set. Remove from the pan and cut into pieces.

The best way to cut a cheesecake is to use a knife that has been warmed in hot water. Dip the knife in hot water, wipe, and cut. Repeat this each time you cut!

Crust is optional:
100g (3.5oz.) vanilla wafers or biscuits
30g (1.4oz.) butter (softened)
Smash vanilla wafers or biscuits in a Ziploc bag, add butter (softened), and mix well. Press firmly into the pan.

How to Make Kaki and Shiratama Dango with Kuromitsu (Japanese Persimmon and Sweet Rice Dumplings with Brown Sugar Syrup) - Video Recipe

Kaki (Japanese Persimmon) is in season now!
I think I am buying it whenever I go and shop at the supermarket :3


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MvC29fyYQNQ

Some of my viewers requested me for a simple sweet using Kaki, so I made this for you. I hope you like it. It was really good!!!



BTW, if you use Tofu instead of water, Dango become much softer.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jNEXHoLn2VY

---------------------------------
Kaki and Shiratama Dango with Kuromitsu (Japanese Persimmon and Sweet Rice Dumplings with Brown Sugar Syrup)

Difficulty: Easy
Time: 25min
Number of servings: 16 Dango

Ingredients:
((8 White Dango))
75g (2.7oz.) Shiratamako (lumpy glutinous rice flour)
1/2 tsp. sugar
75ml- water
((8 Matcha Green Tea Dango))
75g (2.7oz.) Shiratamako (lumpy glutinous rice flour)
1/2 tsp. sugar
1 tsp. Matcha green tea powder
75ml- water
((Finish))
1 Kaki (Japanese persimmon) *any fruit is okay
Kinako (soybean flour) *finely chopped nuts are okay
Kuromitsu (brown sugar syrup) *honey is okay

Directions:
((8 White Dango))
1. Put Shiratamako, sugar 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. Divide the dough into 8 small pieces and roll into small balls. Then press the center of the ball gently with your finger (in this way, dango cook evenly and faster).
3. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Gently drop the Dango in the boiling water. After a few minutes, Dango 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.
((8 Matcha Green Tea Dango))
Make the same as the white Dango, but sift the Matcha green tea powder before mixing.
((Finish))
1. Cut Kaki into bite-size pieces.
2. Place the Kaki and Dango in a dish. Top with Kinako and Kuromitsu.

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

How to Make Custard Pudding (Crème Caramel / Flan) - Video Recipe

Creamy and smooth Purin (Pudding) recipe :)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xOnxJ3nKvRE

You can use a mug to make this, too!

Packaged crème caramel (flan) is available at Japanese supermarkets under the name Purin (プリン "pudding").

---------------------------------

Custard Pudding (Crème Caramel)

Difficulty: Very Easy
Time: 40min
Number of servings: 6 100ml cups

Ingredients:
((Caramel))
40g (1.4oz.) granulated sugar
1 tbsp. water
((Custard))
3 eggs
300ml milk
60g (2.1oz.) granulated sugar

Directions:
((Caramel))
Mix granulated sugar and water in a saucepan by tilting the pan. Then simmer until the sauce is browned. (Do not mix it with a spoon but tilt the pan to mix it. The sugar will recrystallize if you mix it with a spoon.) Pour the sauce into heat-resistant cups before it gets hard.
((Custard))
Microwave the milk for 2 minutes just until warm. Add 2 tsp. of water in the saucepan to dilute the caramel, then mix in the milk. In a bowl, lightly beat the eggs until combined but not foamy. Dissolve granulated sugar, then gradually add the milk mixture. Strain through a strainer to make it smooth. Pour the egg mixture over the sauce in the cups. Cover with plastic wrap or aluminum foil.
((Steam in the Pan))
Place some paper towels or a dish towel in a frying pan (so that you can gently steam the Puddings), then place the cups. Slowly add hot water in the pan (just about a half-inch across the bottom of the cups), cover, then cook on low for 20-25 minutes. Stop the heat and let them steam for 5 minutes with the remaining heat. Serve warm or put in the fridge to serve cold.

Note: Grease the cups with some oil or butter so the pudding will slip out easily.

How to Make Ramen Cake - Video Recipe

Lately, my darling shared with me a newspaper article (Nikkei MJ 2013/4/17 issue - I know it is pretty old. lol) about the cake shop that sells "Ramen Cake" and I thought I want to make one for myself :D

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kZWAmgX2lew

However, it was not that easy…
I tried it for 3 times to get this perfect result.

I hope you enjoy it :)

FYI Failed version is at the end.



---------------------------------

Ramen Cake

Difficulty: Patience
Time: 1 day (incl. cooling time)
Number of servings: 2

Ingredients:
((Sweet Potato Ramen Noodles))
300g (10.5oz.) Japanese sweet potato
A
* 100ml milk
* 60g (2.1oz.) sugar
* 2 tbsp. butter
* cinnamon powder (if you like)
* 1 tsp. rum (if you like)
((Fillings)) *If you want to make them from scratch, please watch the Shortcake video.
sponge cake
whipped cream
canned fruits and syrup
((Ramen Soup Jelly)) *1 serving
300ml sweetened tea of your choice
5g (0.18oz.) gelatin powder
((Toppings)) *choose whatever that looks like what you want
Naruto: make with white chocolate and strawberry chocolate
Chashu Pork: marble chocolate cookie
Nori Seaweed: black sesame seed cookie
Chopped Green Onions: chopped pumpkin seeds

Directions:
((Sweet Potato Ramen Noodles))
1. Peel and slice the sweet potato into rounds. Soak in water for 10 minutes to prevent them from discoloring. Then drain well.
2. Place the sweet potato rounds on a microwavable dish, cover with plastic wrap, and microwave at 500w for 8 minutes. Leave to steam for a minute, transfer them into a large bowl and mash with a fork.
3. Mix in A while the sweet potato is hot. Then strain through a sieve.
((Fillings))
1. Place a thin layer of sponge cake in a ramen bowl. Brush the cake with syrup, place some whipped cream and fruits, then place a layer of sponge cake and brush with syrup again.
2. Spread enough sweet potato to cover the cake and the cream, then smooth the top. Make sure you cover them because they can easily float up when you pour in the jelly.
3. Transfer the mashed sweet potato to a pastry bag and snip off the end. Squeeze out like ramen noodles.
4. Cover with plastic wrap and put in the freezer until frozen hard. If you don't, the noodles will melt when you pour in the jelly.
((Ramen Soup Jelly)) *start making when the noodles are frozen
1. Heat the tea until hot, add the gelatin powder, and continue stirring until it completely dissolves.
2. Leave to cool (at around 20C/68F) just before the jelly firms up.
3. Pour it into the ramen bowl, place the bowl immediately into the freezer, and let the jelly firm up for 3 minutes.
4. When the jelly is firmed up, transfer the bowl into the fridge and defrost the cake.
((Toppings))
Just before you eat, garnish the ramen with the toppings of your choice!

How to Make iPhone :-9 (Egg-Free Chocolate Cookies) - Video Recipe

People asked me how to make chocolate flavored cookies using cocoa powder, so here is the recipe :)


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oAtqjrMN89Y

I used no egg for the icing as well!



---------------------------------
iPhone :-9 Chocolate Cookies

Difficulty: Super Easy
Time: 1 hr + a few days to dry out the icing
Number of servings: 3 phones

Ingredients:
((Chocolate Cookies))
50g (1.8oz.) butter *softened
100g (3.5oz.) cake flour *all purpose flour is okay
30g (1.0oz.) powdered sugar (confectioner's sugar)
1 tbsp. cocoa powder
((Glacé Icing))
powdered sugar (confectioner's sugar)
warm water with vanilla extract or fresh lemon juice
Wilton 12 Icing Colors Set

Directions:
((Chocolate Cookies))
1. Put all ingredients in a large Ziploc bag (make sure it is zipped). Then mix well. Roll out the dough in the Ziploc bag to 5mm (0.2 inch) thick. Refrigerate the dough for at least 1 hour to set and chill.
2. Preheat the oven to 170C (338F). Cut out the dough with iCookie Cutter. Place the cookies on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Roll out scraps, and repeat.
3. Bake at 170C (338F) for 15 minutes. Cool the cookies on the cookie sheet or wire rack.
((Glacé Icing))
1. Put powdered sugar in a bowl. Add warm water with vanilla extract little by little, and stir together until smooth. If icing is too soggy, add more powdered sugar.
2. Divide it into small bowls, and add food colorings to each. Paint them with a brush or bamboo skewers.
3. Dry out the icing (it might take a day or more if you live in a hot and humid country like japan) then apply the next color on top.

---------------------------------
Granola Yogurt Parfait

Difficulty: Super Easy
Time: 3min
Number of Servings: N/A

Ingredients I Love:
fresh berries (raspberries, blackberries, strawberries, blueberries, etc…)
fat-free plain yogurt
any berry-flavored yogurt sauce
any fat-free berry-flavored yogurt
naturally sweet crunchy granola (store-bought or homemade one)

Directions:
Place the ingredients alternately in a trifle dish or a container to go.
You don't want the yogurt to soften the granola, so eat as soon as you make it, or keep the ingredients separated until ready to eat.
You can use whatever type of fruit you want but I love and recommend berries.
I love to layer plain yogurt, yogurt sauce, and flavored yogurt, just because they make a great swirl when you eat and taste even better together!
