Love Heart Chocolate Corn Dogs for Valentines Day

Looking for a cute non-sweet chocolate recipe for Valentines Day?!

This is non-sweet cocoa taste corn dogs. I created this for my darling who LOVE's sausage but not the sweets :)

I used Hot Cake Mix for the batter to save time. Hot Cake Mix is a product from Japan to cook pancakes. I am sure it is available at Asian grocery stores overseas. FYI: Morinaga and Showa is famous for the Mix.

Love Heart Chocolate Corn Dogs

10 sausage (10cm/4in long)
vegetable oil for frying
ketchup

Directions:
1. In a bowl, mix A well.

Renovation Updates: 2nd & 3rd Week

The 1st week was simply the torn down. Although there were some issues on our renovation plans, everything is going fine now.

Last week, we couldn't visit our place but the contractor kindly sent us some updates for 2nd & 3rd week.

Bathroom and pipings were placed.



Kitchen side walls were made to hide the water pipes.



Windows were fixed.



Then the 4th week (this week) flooring will be done. It is time to choose the wallpaper!

GOPAN

GOPAN is the world's first rice bread cooker by Sanyo, that can easily bake "rice bread" from rice grains. It was released on 11/11/2010.



Sanyo made it possible after four years of trial and error! As you might know, rice is the staple of Japan. By enabling rice to be eaten as a bread, Sanyo aimed to encourage people to consume more rice!



What they finally came up with was the "rice paste method". In this new method, the rice is soaked in water, and cut with a rotary blade to form a very fine paste.



It's simple to use. In the bread pan, place 220g of washed rice, 210g of water, 4g of salt, 16g of sugar, and 10g of shortening. In the automatic ingredient dispenser on the upper side of the body, place 50g of wheat gluten and 3g of dry yeast.



Then, press the start button. After 4 hours of the automatic process of milling, kneading, rising, and baking, a tasty rice bread is baked!



Instead of using special flour such as rice flour, I think GOPAN conveniently uses rice which is kept in most Japanese households! However, the current price is 79,000 yen!!! I will go for it when it become cheaper. haha
