A traditional 東北 region sweet, relying on the rising power of soda and vinegar. Has lots of brown sugar, so it's quite suitable for autumn. * 45 gr egg * 110 gr brown sugar ➡️ Whisk together, then add, in that order: * 50 gr honey (I used pine and it was fine) * 90 gr water (seems like a lot, but it's fine) * 3 gr baking soda (Natron) in 3 gr water * 6 gr oil (I used walnut, which was fine, but didn't really make a difference) * 1 Tbsp 醤油 * 2 tbsp vinegar (I used black vinegar, but I don't think you can taste it in the finished sweet. Cider vinegar might be very autumnal!). Finally, sift in: * 150 gr flour, 2 gr baking powder. Fold, then steam in baking sheet lined 流し器 (I steamed it in the Creuset rather the {{ruby|蒸籠|せいろ}} and it turned out great): * 10' with lid ajar full strength * 10' with lid, cloth wrapped, closed, medium strength * Then sprinkle with sesame seeds * Steam for another 20' with the lid closed, medium strength. {{ ::wagashi:ganduki.jpeg?400 |}} {{tag>omogashi higashi autumn mushimono}}
