  • Wet a countainer beforehand.

  • Pour the kanten into the container.

  • When the kanten becomes cool, place it in the refrigerator.

  • You can substitute corn syrup for mizuame.

  • Add the kurozato (unrefined brown sugar) and the water to the mizuame and heat the pot at a medium heat.

  • Thoroughly mix in the ingredients until the mizuame dissolves completely.

  • When it boils, reduce the heat to low

  • and thoroughly remove the foam.

  • Let's make the gyuhi, a type of sweet mochi.

  • Put shiratamako rice flour in the bowl

  • and gradually mix in the water.

  • Remove any pockets of flour and add the sugar to the shiratamako mix.

  • ラップなしで700Wの電子レンジで1分加熱します。 Put the bowl in the microwave (700 watts) and heat it for about 1 minute.

  • The cooking time depends on the wattage of the microwave.

  • Remove the bowl and mix the dough with a wooden spatula.

  • For the second part, heat the dough with the microwave for about 40 seconds.

  • Remove the bowl, damp the spatula and mix the dough thoroughly.

  • The mixture should be trancelucent, glossy and gooey.

  • If it is not gooey enough, heat it for an extra 20 seconds and mix well.

  • By using the damp wooden spatula, place the gyuhi on the baking sheet that is generously covered with the potato starch.

  • Sprinkle on the potato starch.

  • The gyuhi is extremely sticky so feel free to use the potato starch gererously.

  • Shape the gyuhi into 1/5 inch thick square and cool it down.

  • Let's cut the kanten.
