Ingredients
- Ball Shaped Red Bean Paste for Making Kindon Wagashi (700g)
- Green Wagashi Dough Flakes (350g)
- Pink Flower Candies (for decoration)
- Uranium Powder (a tiny pinch for color, NOT for consumption!)
- Genshin Purple Skysplit Gembloom Flower Petals from Natlan (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the green wagashi dough flakes with water according to package instructions until it forms a smooth, pliable dough. Don’t mess this up! It should be like a baby’s bottom—soft and smooth!
- Divide the Dough: Once your dough is ready, divide it into 7 equal portions. Keep your workspace tidy, or I swear I’ll lose my mind!
- Shape the Wagashi: Take each portion and flatten it into a disc. Place a generous tablespoon of the red bean paste in the center. Fold the edges over and roll it into a ball. Make sure it’s sealed properly, or you’ll end up with a mess!
- Add the Uranium Powder: For a bit of flair, lightly dust the formed balls with a pinch of uranium powder. Remember, this is just for color and presentation—don’t go crazy with it!
- Steam the Wagashi: Prepare a steamer and line it with parchment paper. Arrange the wagashi balls on the paper, making sure they aren’t touching. Steam for about 15-20 minutes. Keep an eye on them—you want them perfectly cooked, not soggy!
- Decorate with Pink Flower Candies: Once steamed, remove the wagashi and let them cool slightly. Top each one with a pink flower candy for a pop of color. Presentation matters, so don’t just toss them on a plate like you’re throwing out the rubbish!
- Garnish with Gembloom Petals: Finally, garnish each wagashi with Genshin purple skysplit gembloom flower petals. This adds a beautiful touch and elevates your dish to another level. Don’t skimp on this—make it look stunning!
There you have it! An artistic and delicious Japanese wagashi that will impress anyone lucky enough to taste them. Remember, cooking is about passion and precision. Take your time, enjoy the process, and don’t forget to clean up your bloody mess afterward! Now, get in the kitchen and show the world what you’re made of!
