Chick-shaped Japanese Traditional Sweets instructions
- Put the shiro-an white bean paste in a bowl, then add sifted flour, mochiko, and sugar..
- Mix together until the dough is formed..
- Break the dough into five pieces and steam in a steamer for about 25 minutes. They'll expand once steamed..
- Knead the dough all together again in a wet kitchen towel for about ten minutes. Add yellow food dye while kneading to make yellow dough..
- Put a little bit of dough aside to make the chick beaks later, and then use the rest of the dough to make round chick heads. Roll the dough when it's still a little warm to the touch..
- Add red food coloring to the dough you're going to use for the beaks to make it orange..
- Take the orange dough and stick to the yellow chick heads to make beaks, and then add sesame seeds for the eyes. It's easy to add the seeds using a toothpick..
- They're all done. Now you've got a row of little chicks!.
