Jujube Yokan
1.
Be sure to use large jujubes, otherwise it will be troublesome to peel them if they are too small. Cut the red dates in half, boil them with water, soak them for two hours, peel them, and grind them into a puree with a spoon.
2.
Starch, sugar, beaten egg liquid, and jujube puree are put together and beat smoothly with a whisk at low speed. It is best not to make foam. If there is some foam, stir it in one direction with a spoon. You can hear the defoaming bleating sound.
3.
Grease a 6-inch live cake mold (a shallow plate is also acceptable), pour the batter, and skim the froth. Steam the pot for 25 minutes, open the lid from time to time during this period, and poke it with chopsticks if there is a bulge.
4.
It looks good when it's steamed.
Tips:
I have always liked to eat the yokan that I bought. It is made with red bean paste and agar, so I don’t feel as good as my own.
