Let us face it, cooking isn't a top priority from the lifestyles of every person, woman, or child on the planet. In reality, way too individuals have left understanding how to cook a priority within their lives. This usually means that we often rely on convenience foods and boxed blends instead of taking your time and time to prepare healthy food to our families and our own personal enjoyment.

Nutritious cooking can be difficult as many of us don't wish to spend some time preparing and planning meals which our families will not eat. At the same time, we want our families to be healthier so we are feeling pressured to master new and improved ways of cooking well balanced meals to the family to love (and regrettably in some scenarios scorn).

The fantastic news is that once you've learned the fundamentals of cooking it is unlikely you will ever have to displace them. This usually means you could constantly build up and expand your cooking skills. Since you find new recipes and increase your culinary skills and talents you'll find that preparing your own meals from scratch is a whole lot more rewarding than preparing pre packaged meals which can be purchased from the shelves of your regional supermarkets.

I wanted to eat freshly-made, piping-hot manju. For the filling, since I like really sweet adzuki, making it by hand is the fastest way!
Since yomogi wasn't in season, I bought dried yomogi instead.

I used dried yomogi this time. Depending on the kind of dried yomogi, the preparation methods may differ, so follow the instruction. Of course, fresh yomogi is best!
The dough is extremely soft and sticky. This time, I refrigerated it before handling, which made it a lot easier. For 12. Recipe by Te-03

9. 1 pinch ＊Salt

2. Portion the filling from Step 1 (or store bought filling) into 12 balls.
3. Mix together the cake flour and dried yomogi.
4. Put the water and sugar into a bowl, and heat to melt the sugar. After cooling, add baking soda and combine with the dough from Step 3. Let chill in the refrigerator to make it easier to handle.
5. Break the dough from Step 4 into 12 balls. (About the same size as the filling balls).
6. Shape the manju. Flatten the dough balls from Step 5 and place a filling in the center.
7. Use your thumb and pointer finger to stretch the dough up and around the filling like in the picture. If you leave the bottom slightly thicker than the rest, it looks nicer when finished.
8. It's done! It's fine if this dough is a little thinner at the bottom. Be sure to completely cover the filling.
9. Once you get all the dough and filling balls to Step 8, put the opening side down and lightly coat with katakuriko. They'll be nice and shiny when finished. You could also omit it.
