Mushi Pan recipes
It's been a while since I posted any recipes. I know I had a few I wanted to write up but can't remember what they were anymore. I have been having fun making mushi-pan (steamed bread)! It's the only baking I can do because I don't have an oven.
Brown Sugar Chocolate Mushi-pan
Ingredients (makes 8)
☆ 100g brown sugar
☆ 200g (weak) flour
☆ 2 tsp baking powder
☆ 190~200ml milk
☆ pinch of salt
☆ milk chocolate, chopped (or chocolate chips)
Preparation
Matcha Mushi-pan
Ingredients (makes 5)
☆ 100g pancake mix
☆ 1 egg
☆ 3 tbsp milk
☆ 2 tsp matcha powder
☆ 60g sugar
☆ (sugared beans -- I don't like beans so I used chocolate but it didn't work very well.)
Preparation
Both recipes take no time to prepare at all! I tried another recipe for the brown sugar one but it didn't work out well. That was before I got a proper scale so maybe I should try again. Mushi-pan is quite dense but both of these recipes are come out really moist and soft and おいちい～ If you've got a steamer at home, give them a try! All you need is something to rest the mushi-pan on over boiling water. I have one that fits into a pot (a) or you can get inserts that are also used to steam vegetables (b).

Preparation
- In a bowl, sift together flour and baking powder.
- Add sugar and milk, whisking together. Batter should be relatively thick and smooth.
- Spoon mixture into lined muffin cups until just over half full and top with chopped pieces of chocolate.
- Arrange in the steamer and cover the lid with a cloth to keep water from dripping on the mushi-pan. Steam over high heat for 10~12 minutes.
