In Japan, we can see the stigma of Chinese culture everywhere. For example, walking on the street is full of Chinese characters, the habit of humility and courtesy in daily etiquette, ramen, pot sticks, dumplings, etc. that appear more or less in three meals a day. History, culture, social culture and food culture are inherently intertwined. When we spend our traditional festivals step by step every year, do you know that in Japan, the spring equinox, autumn equinox, dragon boat, Chinese Valentine’s Day, and Mid-Autumn Festival are also celebrated. Even Chongyang.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is about to come, and many people start to try to make mooncakes at home. Mooncakes are our traditional food for Mid-Autumn Festival. In Japan, the traditional food for Mid-Autumn Festival is glutinous rice dumplings and wagashi in the shape of white rabbits. Because the Mid-Autumn Festival always has a close relationship with the little rabbit! Our Mid-Autumn Festival bunny pounds medicine under the osmanthus tree on the moon, while the Japanese Mid-Autumn Festival bunny makes sticky cakes under the tree and makes glutinous rice dumplings. Isn't it interesting that two bunnies of different nationalities?
Today I will share with you the bunny and sweets. In fact, it is very simple. It is to mix rice noodles with water and yam paste to form a dough, and then pack your favorite fillings in the middle. The traditional way is to pack red bean paste. Finally, steam it, let it cool, and paint it like a bunny!
In Japan, a variety called "Yamato yam" or "Yamato yam" is generally used to make this wagashi. The meat is white and compact, and the pulp is not as much as ordinary long yam, but this yam may not be available in other countries except Japan. So, I used ordinary long yam instead, and the effect was very good!
Try to use water-milled rice flour for rice noodles. Note that it is rice noodles, not glutinous rice noodles. "
