Anyone thinking about dessert? How about trying traditional Japanese Kuzu Manju?

Ingredients you’ll need:

  • Kudzu starch: 30g
  • White sugar: 50g
  • Water: 120ml
  • Azuki Red Bean Paste: as needed

I love food experiments, but this honestly looked like a blobfish to me at first glance. I bet it tastes amazing though and nothing like how it looks.

Haha, I thought it looked like a strawberry covered in cream or something. Honestly, I think it looks pretty tasty.

Funny you say that, it reminded me of a story. Someone once told me about diving with a sinus infection. Said it was fine at first, but when he surfaced, it was like a pressure bomb went off in his head. Ended up with blood and mucus everywhere. For some reason, this dessert brought that back to me.

Thank you for sharing this recipe! I’m a big fan of red bean desserts, and this looks like something I’d love to try.
