How to Make Gyoza Wrappers from Scratch

Difficulty: Easy
Time: 1hr
Number of servings: 25-30 wrappers (about 3.7-inch rounds)

Ingredients:
100g (3.5oz.) cake flour

2. Mix salt in warm water.

HALLOWEEN Frankenstein Matcha Green Tea Pound Cake - Video Recipe

In this video, I will show you a fun idea to enjoy matcha green tea pound cake ;)

Adding meringue in the pound cake makes it moist and fluffy!


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zV4dPCw_K-Q



Sorry my drawing is awful…
I know you can draw better than me!!! hehe

---------------------------------
HALLOWEEN Frankenstein Matcha Green Tea Pound Cake

Difficulty: Medium
Time: 2hrs
Number of servings: 1 loaf

Necessary Equipment:
18×8cm (7x3inch) loaf pan

Ingredients:
100g (3.5oz.) unsalted butter *room temperature
80g (2.8oz.) granulated sugar
2 eggs *room temperature
2 tbsp. soymilk or milk
2 tbsp. granulated sugar
A
* 120g (4.2oz.) cake flour
* 1&1/2 tbsp. matcha green tea powder
* 1/2 tsp. baking powder
chocolate pens *you can draw 2 Frankensteins with 1 pen

Directions:
1. Line the loaf pan with parchment paper. Preheat the oven to 180C (350F). Mix A and sift them together if you have time.
2. Cream the butter in a large bowl with a wire whisk. Add 80g (2.8oz.) granulated sugar little by little and mix well.
3. Separate egg whites and egg yolks. Add the egg yolks one by one and mix well. Then add soymilk and mix well.
4. Make meringue in a separate bowl: Whip egg whites with an electric mixer until foamy. Gradually add granulated sugar 1/3 at a time, then continue to whip until stiff glossy peaks form when you lift the beaters.
5. Add 1/3 of the meringue into the butter mixture (3.), and blend well with a spatula.
6. Sift in A and fold in with a spatula. Then add the rest of the meringue and fold in gently but thoroughly.
7. Pour the batter into the pan and smooth the top. Drop the pan lightly on the counter to raise the air bubbles out of the batter. Use the spatula to cut an incision lengthwise down middle of cake to prevent unwanted cracks on the surface.
8. Bake at 180C (350F) for 15 minutes. Then turn down to 160C (320F) and bake for 35-40 minutes. *Cover the cake with aluminum foil if it starts to brown too much. Insert a stick into the cake to check whether it is baked or not.
9. Remove the cake from the pan and place it on a wire rack to cool.
10. Slice the pound cake. Set a chocolate pen in a cup of hot water for a few minutes. Cut the tip of the chocolate pen and draw Frankenstein faces on pound cake slices.

* When the cake is completely cool, wrap tightly in plastic wrap. It will last wrapped this way for few days (in the fridge).
* You can also wrap each slices of pound cake individually with a plastic wrap.

1. To make hard-boiled eggs, use older eggs because they are easier to peel. Place the eggs in a single layer in a saucepan. Cover with water at least an inch above the eggs. Put on high heat, gently, stir constantly (in this way, you can center the egg yolks), until water boils. When the water comes to a full boil, turn off the heat and cover the pan with a lid with no holes. Set a timer and let them steam in the hot water for about 15 minutes. Drain the eggs and cool immediately in cold water. Shake the pan to break the shells. Then peel.
2. Cut hard-boiled eggs into halves lengthwise. Gently remove the egg yolks, place them in a bowl, and mash them using a fork.
3. Mix A in a bowl, add the mashed egg yolks, and mix until smooth.
4. Transfer the mixture in a plastic bag or a pastry bag, cut off the corner of the bag to create a hole, then pipe it into egg white halves.
5. Sprinkle with paprika powder. Cut out nori sheet for the eyes, noses, and mouths of Jack-O'-Lantern faces. Attach the nori faces and pumpkin seeds on the eggs.

Keep in the fridge until ready to serve.

3 STEPS! How to Pour a Beer with a Perfect Head - Video Recipe

This video will show you how to pour a beer from a can into a glass, very common way in Japan.
You can apply this technique to the bottled beer as well.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ROLO7Vc7RI

The key point here is "Perfect Head"!!!

Creating a very fine foam on top of the beer prevents it from oxidation and retains its flavor.



Pouring a beer is part of the tasting experience :)

---------------------------------
3 STEPS! How to Pour a Beer with a Perfect Head

Difficulty: Very Easy
Time: 3min
Number of servings: 1

What You Need:
1 cold beer
1 cold beer glass of your choice

Before You Start:
Wash the glass in hot water, let it dry naturally, and cool in the fridge.
Dirty glass produces large coarse bubbles and a rapidly disappearing head. Do not use dish towel because it can leave some dust on your glass.

How to Pour:
1. Create Bubbles
Pour beer from high above the glass until the glass is half full. You will get a frothy head, so wait 30 seconds to 1 minute until the large bubbles on the surface disappear.

2. Lift Up The Head
When the beer and the head are in halves, pour beer with great care (do not break up the fine bubbles) up to eight to nine-tenths of the glass. *You can tilt the glass if you want to.

3. Finish
Wait until the bubbles are about three-tenths of the glass. Then pour beer into the center of the head, lifting up the head again.

*Fluffy head poured out over the glass looks delicious :P

Curry and Rice Bread (Using a Bread Machine) - Video Recipe

This video will show you how to bake Curry and Rice Bread using a Home Bakery (Bread Machine or Bread Maker): Panasonic SD-BH104


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HlCGxaih-LE

Adding a bowl of cooked rice makes the bread moist and gives it a slightly chewy texture. Yummy!!!



I hope you enjoy this idea :)

---------------------------------
Curry and Rice Bread

Difficulty: Very Easy
Time: 4 hours
Number of servings: 1 loaf (6 slices)
Calories per slice: 260cal

Necessary Equipment:
Panasonic SD-BH104
http://ctlg.panasonic.jp/product/info.do?pg=04&hb=SD-BH104

Ingredients:
210g (7.4oz.) bread flour (hard flour or strong flour)
2 tbsp. sugar
1 tbsp. powdered milk (dried milk)
1 tsp. salt
5g (0.18oz.) curry powder
1/2 tsp. black pepper
150g (5.3oz.) cold cooked white rice
20g (0.7oz.) butter
30g (1.0oz.) diced processed cheese
130ml water
3/4 tsp. dry yeast
* 40g (1.4oz.) diced potatoes
* 30g (1.0oz.) diced carrots
* 30g (1.0oz.) sliced bacon strips

Directions:
1. Not to make a mistake, measure all the ingredients in advance with a measuring cup and measuring spoon. If you make a mistake, you will waste 4 hours baking the bread. (Measuring cup and measuring spoon come with the bread machine.) Or, you want to remember where you are up to if anyone talked to you while placing the ingredients.
2. Bring a pot of water to a boil. Cook diced potatoes and carrots al dente, then drain well.
3. Remove the bread pan (twist the bread pan anti-clockwise and lift up to remove) and set the kneading blade. Make sure that they are clean before you use.
4. Place and pile up the bread flour, sugar, powdered milk, salt, curry powder, black pepper, cold cooked white rice, butter, and diced processed cheese in the middle of the bread pan. Then pour in the water around the pile. Wipe the outside of the pan to remove any flour or liquid.
5. Put the bread pan into the bread machine and turn slightly clockwise.
6. Close the lid.
7. Open the upper lid and place the dry yeast in the dry yeast dispenser. It will add the dry yeast automatically. Wipe if it's wet but avoid generating the static electricity.
8. Choose the "Gohan" baking option. Select the "Gohan" bread type. Select the "Raisin" mode with a note: extra ingredients can be added directly into the bread pan when the beep sounds. Start the machine.
9. When the machine beeps, add extra the ingredients: diced potatoes, diced carrots, and sliced bacon strips. The machine automatically starts after 3 minutes.
10. When it's done, press stop and remove the bread pan from the bread machine immediately. Leave to cool on a kitchen cloth for 2 minutes. Then remove the bread from the bread pan and allow to cool on a wire rack. Remove the blade if the blade got stuck in the bread.

Note: You can only place dry ingredients (e.g. dried fruit, nuts) in the raisin dispenser.
