The Oven is usually not a part of the Japanese Kitchen.
Japanese Son has a microwave/oven combination so you can gage how big
his oven is.
This means... No Turkey at Thanksgiving !
Because of the lack of the oven they have come up with a way to steam
the "cake" in the Wok.
It can be called, Steam cake or Cheese cake.
When made comes out quite like a sponge cake only moist, light and
chewy at the same time.
This was a brand that I have never had before, It was nice but I like
the Steamed Cheese Cake I usually buy.
This one had some chopped up candied fruit in it.
But I can tell you it was quite nice with a cup of coffee in the
afternoon.

ReplyDeletePat...
ReplyDeleteWhere there is a will there is a way... right ?
The cakes are so light and and not overly sweet. Perfect !
Joanna...
I love the packaging on this cake, that is why I tried it !
I frame some of my favorite packaging and put them up in my pantry but I have a so many that they are saved and used for other projects too.
The cake I usually buy is an oval shaped and I can't remember the name but I know it when I see it.
I think I prefer the regular baked kind of cake
ReplyDeletebut will eat almost anything
with carbohydrates in!
Happy weekend!
Elizabeth...
ReplyDeleteI unfortunately love all carbohydrates and have the hips to prove it !
Where'd you get that.
ReplyDeleteI think that one had chestnuts in it. Kuri 栗 is written on the front.
The name of this thing is Mushikaku. The three characters on the name are mushi むし meaning steam and 角 meaning square. Steam cooked cakes and breads are some what popular at the moment. There's even a store called "Mr. Mushipan" (Mr. Steamed Bread).
Anyhow, more information than you require going on in this comment.
David...
ReplyDeleteIt was one I bought at the small but super wonderful Mitsuwa Market by Molly.
I thought it tasted like chestnuts... you know how much I love chestnuts.
I love your information.
