Steps to make Easy and Cute Manju (Steamed Dumplings):
- These are the ingredients. You can use heavy cream, but skim milk powder is healthier. Steam or bake the sweet potato beforehand.
- To make the sweet potato paste, peel the sweet potato, mash, and use a mortar and pestle to mix with the other paste ingredients while it's still hot. Adjust the texture by adding water.
- To make the dough, first stir together the sugar, instant coffee powder and 2 tablespoons of water in a cup and microwave for a short time. Mix well and leave to cool.
- Mix the baking soda and 1 teaspoon of water together first, then add the egg yolk and stir well.
- Combine the dough and baking soda mixture. Add this to the flour to make the manju dough and mix well. Shape into balls.
- The dough will be quite sticky, so dust your hands with flour.
- Wrap the sweet bean paste with the dough and place each dumpling onto a piece of parchment paper.
- Steam the manju in a steamy steamer
- If you don't have a steamer, place something that can act as a stand in a deep sauce pan. Choose something tall for this, so that the boiling water will not touch the manju.
- Place a plate on the stand.
- Cover the lid with a cloth so that the steam on the back of the lid will be absorbed by the cloth and won't drip on the manju.
- Ok! We're ready now.
- Put water in the bottom of the pan and heat over a high heat. When it starts to steam, arrange the manju on the plate in the pan. Cover and steam over high heat for 10 minutes.
- They should look really nice, plump and glossy. Leave to cool.
- Cool down with a fan to get smooth and glossy-looking manju.
- Microwave the ingredients for drawing the faces. When the sugar and powder have dissolved, draw faces onto the manju with a toothpick.
- I used almonds to make little rabbit ears.
- Inside is the sweet potato paste.
