3. Add Katakuriko (potato starch) then knead by hand.
4. Divide it into 8, then roll into flat circles. If they crack, moist your hand with water then roll again.
5. Heat cooking oil (about 2 tbsp.) in a frying pan, cook both sides of potato Mochi until crisp golden brown.
6. Remove the excess oil with a paper towel. Stop the heat, then add the sauce and cook with the remaining heat until the sauce thickens. You can heat more if the sauce is still not thick.
7. Nicely coat the potato Mochi with sauce, then wrap in Nori.
Yummy if you add some cheese in the center.
Best eaten on the day you make but yes, you can keep in the fridge then microwave.
You can also freeze them at step 3. Wrap individual potato Mochi in plastic wrap. When you eat, cook in the pan frozen.
Directions:
1. Mix butter and sugar with a whisk until creamy.
2. Add nutella and mix well with a whisk.
3. Sift in flour and mix well with a spatula.
4. Then mix in chocolate chips.
5. Shape into small balls, place them on a frying pan, then flatten out with your fingers.
6. Cook on the stove on low for 15 minutes. Let cool in the pan until completely cool and set.
Best eaten on the day you make. Keep in an air-tight container with silica gel packets if you have.
Crisp cookies, smooth mellow rich butter cream, and juicy rum raisins are incredible match. Very addictive sweets.
You can make them at home very easily. Homemade ones are the best ;)

50g (4tbsp.) unsalted butter
35g (4tbsp.) powdered sugar (confectioner's sugar)
1 egg yolk

70g (5 tbsp.) unsalted butter
2 tsp. granulated sugar
40g (3 tbsp.) white chocolate
vanilla extract *if you like
1 tsp. rum *if you like
Directions:
((Rum Raisins))
1. Toss raisins with rum and leave overnight.
((Cookies))
1. Cream the butter in a bowl. Add powdered sugar and egg yolk in order, mix well.
2. Sift in cake flour, almond powder, baking powder, and salt. Cut through with a spatula to mix and form it into one. Using a plastic wrap, spread out the batter into a 20cm(8inch) X 26cm(10inch) rectangular sheet. Put in the fridge to set for 30 minutes.
3. Trim off the edges. Cut into 3cm(1.2inch) X 6cm(2.4inch) rectangle pieces.
4. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in an oven at 180C (350F) for 12~15 minutes.
5. Place them on a wire rack to cool completely.
((Butter Cream))
1. In a bowl, place egg white and granulated sugar, beat with an electric mixer until stiff glossy peaks form.
2. In a different bowl, mix butter and granulated sugar until white and creamy.
3. Melt white chocolate over hot water. Add into the butter mixture little by little.
4. Then add the fluffy egg white (meringue) little by little.
5. If you like, you can flavor with vanilla extract and rum.
6. Put the butter cream and rum raisins in between the cookies to finish.
YES! You can make them a day (night) before. Keep them in the fridge for 2~3 days. The cream will set nicely, cold, smooth, and delicious! Of course eating them as soon as you can is flavorful and better.
Melon Cream Soda (or Melon Soda Float) is a very popular classic Japanese drink loved by both kids and adults. It is always available at casual restaurants (so called family restaurants), something like Coke in the US.
A scoop of vanilla ice cream makes the drink frothy and creamy as it melts. Delicious but be careful not to mix all at once or bubbles over. hehe
Recipe is very simple. Therefore you may want to buy a right syrup to get a better result. For instance, the syrup I used was pretty good! Only 3 bucks.
Difficulty: Easy
Time: 1 min
Number of servings: 1
Ingredients:
melon syrup
soda (unsweetened)
ice cubes
vanilla ice cream (Meiji Essel Super Cup)
cherry if you like
BTW, Essel is made up by Meiji company which means "an excellent ice cream is essential". Haha
Directions:
1. Fill a glass with a glassful of ice cubes.
2. Fill about a quarter to one third of a glass with syrup, then add soda, leaving a little space at the top for an ice cream.
3. Place a scoop of vanilla ice cream to finish.
Adding a glassful of ice cubes keeps the ice cream from melting and frothing. By making this recipe, I noticed I should not blame the restaurant when it is served with lot of ice cubes. LOL
Omucurry (Omu Curry) is short for "Omurice (Omelette Rice) with Curry".
To make Omucurry, you can wrap white rice or chicken fried rice with a thin sheet of fried egg OR soft and creamy scrambled eggs. How you want to make is up to you. In this video I will show you how to wrap white rice with creamy scrambled eggs (some people make creamy omelette then split the middle on top of the rice to cover, scrambled eggs are easier).

a pinch of salt

10g (about 1 tbsp.) butter
1 bowl of rice

2. Add milk and salt (pepper if you like), then mix very well with a whisk until the egg white and egg yolk blend together.
3. Heat butter on medium. Pour in the egg mixture. As eggs begin to cook in the bottom of the pan, slowly pull the eggs in big circles, forming large soft curds.
4. While the egg liquid still remains, fill the gaps between the scrambled eggs so that you won't see the bottom of the pan. Place the eggs on top of the rice.
5. Serve curry next to the omelette rice.
A crêpe or crepe is a type of very thin pancake-like pastry. In this tutorial, I want to show you how to make rectangular-shaped Konbini Crepe (Crepes sold at convenience stores in Japan).

ローソンの生チョコクレープ (チョコチップ入り) LAWSON's Chocolate Ganache Crepe (with Chocolate Chips) is very rich and meltingly delicious.
