Servings: 2
Ingredients
- 1.8 oz kinako (roasted soybean flour)
- 2.3 oz starch syrup (such as corn syrup) or honey
For coating:
- 1 Tbsp kinako
Instructions
- Add starch syrup to a bowl and heat it over a double boiler or briefly in the microwave (about 30 seconds on medium power/500W), just until softened. Mix in kinako with a spoon or spatula until well combined and the mixture forms a cohesive lump with almost no powdery texture remaining.
- Shape the dough into a rectangle about ½ inch (1.2 cm) thick and 2.5 inches (6.5 cm) long. Sprinkle kinako (for coating) evenly over the entire surface.
- Cut the dough into pieces measuring ½ inch (1.2 cm) by 2.5 inches (6.5 cm). Then, hold both ends of each piece and gently twist them in opposite directions.
Notes
- You can store it in the refrigerator for up to a month.
