固い柿みたい。

Wet Bread & レッドカランツのジャム
苦みが残ってちょっと食べにくかったのでジャムにしてみました。
ペクチンが沢山含まれてるので、プロのジャムみたいな完成度。
保存の関係で砂糖を多め（果物と同じくらいの量）に入れたけど、
酸味も強いので丁度良かったです。
Wet Breadっていうのも一緒に作ったけど、成功したとは言えない。。。笑
だから写真だけ。

12 rollsBread flour 250g
Soy milk 160ml
Whole spelt flour 50g
Butter 40g
Sugar 25g
Yeast 5g
Egg 1
---------------
Red beans paste 400g
(Yakisoba noodle)
Egg 1
1. Mix flours, sugar, soy milk, and yeast in a big bowl with a hand for about ten minutes until the ingredients form a ball of dough.
2. Add butter in the bowl and mix it for another ten minutes.
3. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and leave at a room temperature for an hour.
4. Cut the dough into 12 and shape into a ball.
5. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and wait for another one hour.
6. Fill Red beans paste in the balls.
7. Break an egg and put it on a surface with a blush to make them look shiny.
8. Sprinkle black sesame. You can put some salted cherry blossom on a top.
9. Bake in a 350 degree oven until it turns golden.
For a flavor variety, you can put Yakisoba noodle instead of filling red beans.
Both Yakisoba and red beans bread are very common in Japan.

Warabi Mochi
Sugar 50g
Water 500ml
Kinako (soybean flour)
Molasses
"Warabi Mochi" is a traditional Japanese sweets.
It's good to have with either a cup of green tea or matcha.
Combine everything in a pot and cook over medium heat.
When it becomes sticky and clear color, cook over low heat.
Place the mochi in a container.
(It's better if the container is wet otherwise the mochi would get stick.)
Keep in a refrigerator to cool.
You can eat the mochi plain-with nothing on them, but I recommend put
some kinako and molasses on it.
UDON
Water 1 cup
Salt 4.5 teaspoons
Bread flour 3.5 cups
All purpose flour 1.5 cups
Bread flour for dusting
Take a little bit of water and mix with the salt. When it dissolves in the water, add the remaining water. Combine the flours.
Using your hand, knead until it makes a dough. Then put it into a big plastic bag, take your shoes off and walk on it for 15 to 20 until it becomes smooth! It's the most fun part, but you'll be tired. I recommend to do this with some friends to take turn.
Take the dough out of the bag and shape it into a ball.
Put the dough back into the bag and let it sleeps for 3-4 hours.
Sprinkle the bread flour on the surface.
Roll out from the middle by using a rolling pin.
Rotate the dough and continue to roll and roll and roll....until it is 1/8-inche(3mm).
Fold into three and slice the dough into 1/8-inche.
Put the noodles in a boiling water and cook for 6-7 minutes.
You need to stir it otherwise it would get stick.
Drain and rinse the noodles by cold water.
I bought a "Mentsuyu" which is a basic Japanese noodle soup.
You could get it at any Asian supermarkets.
Ground ginger
Green onion
Scraped Kombu
Wasabi
Ground yamaimo
Sichimi (seven-spice pepper)
Mochi
I like to put some boiled spinach and sichimi.
