ホモテナシ

Trace: › uirou
  • This is an important one! It's firmer, doesn't use much glutinous rice and more easily cut than 求肥, and can be used as a sweet on it's own. The recipes vary, but this one from LK works quite well for me:

Recipe

  • 53 gr 上新粉
  • 15 gr もち粉
  • 105 gr sugar
  • 6 gr 葛(くず)
  • 88 gr water

➡️ Mix 葛 and water, then strain into remaining ingredients. Steam in moist cloth for 25' on high (I line the bamboo steamer directly with a 手ぬぐい), then knead. For the kneading: An ever so slightly oiled baking sheet works really well. Use potato starch to roll out etc.

Uses

  • I first used it in the 金塚's 藤浪, but it actually has heaps of other uses.
  • Of course, the famous 水無月!
  • 青梅(あおうめ) from LK or the 鬼灯(ほおずき) from KS
  • They seem to have an affinity to 黄身餡…
