With just a small bit of ingenuity, turn everyday food into something cute using Kaori’s easy recipe! With a few simple ideas, an ordinary recipe magically transforms into a cute dish. As strawberries are currently in season in Japan, today we’ll be looking at an easy recipe for delicious strawberry purin. All you have to do is mix the ingredients and you’re done! In previous recipes, we’ve looked at purin recipes that involve decorating the inside of the glass. Many people commented that this is quite difficult so today we’ve got a recipe that is easy enough for even kids. Ingredients (For 2 Portions)Two small jars (this recipe uses Weck jars)
200g Strawberries with stems and leaves removed (approximately one small pack) 20g Sugar 20ml Fresh Cream (or milk to substitute) 5g Gelatin (dissolved in a tablespoon of water) ½ Teaspoon Lemon Juice To Decorate Premade Chocolate Decorations or Chocolate Slices (as you like) Strawberries to Decorate (as you like) Fresh Cream (As you Like) Chocolate Pen 2: After removing the leaves and stems from the strawberries, blend them in a mixer. 3: Heat the mixture in a microwave on 600w for 50 seconds. Afterwards, add the sugar, gelatin solution and lemon juice in that order. Finally, mix in the fresh cream. 4: Meanwhile, press the premade chocolate decorations or sliced chocolate (white) into the inside wall of your jar. 5: Use the chocolate pen to draw the face, strawberries and ribbons from the outside of the glass. If you make a mistake, wipe it off using kitchen paper and try again. 6：Put the jar into the fridge for the chocolate to harden. Once the chocolate does not sink when the jar is placed upright, slowly add your strawberry mixture into the jar and put it back in the fridge until hard. After your dessert solidifies, you can add the finishing touches of whipped cream and strawberries. And you're done!

With just a small bit of ingenuity, turn everyday food into something cute using Kaori’s easy recipe! With a few simple ideas, an ordinary recipe magically transforms into a cute dish. In this recipe, you’ll learn how to make Santa Rilakkuma cookies 1: Ingredients: (For 10 Rilakkumas)
Unsalted butter: 55gIcing sugar: 25gWhite sesame seeds: 30gWeak flour: 75g 2: Leave the unsalted butter out for a while until it reaches room temperature and then mix until smooth. Next, mix in the sugar, sesame seeds and then flour in that order. 3: Next, split the dough into portions. To make one cookie, you need 15g for the face and 1g of dough for each ear. Arrange your face and both ears as shown in the photo below. Top tip: Rilakkuma's face is oval-shaped so don't make it circular. 4: After you've formed all your Rilakkumas, bake them at 180℃ for 15 minutes. 5: Please refer to the video below to decorate Rilakkuma's face: [video width="480" height="640" mp4="https://www.moshimoshi-nippon.jp/wp/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/30b360fc608b1e730e22322356d962bc.mp4"][/video] Before the cookies get cold, coat them in icing sugar, using a small brush to dust off the excess. Then, wait for the cookies to cool completely before decorating the face. Place a Meiji Apollo Strawberry Chocolate on Rilakkuma's head for the Santa hat and you're done. This is the perfect way to contribute to your next Christmas potluck and it is a flawless plan to impress all your friends.

Ingredients About 3-4 prep bowls 1 large egg 40g sugar Oil or 10g melted unsalted butter 15ml milk 50g weak flour (sifted) 10g cocoa 5g baking powder 2. ①Crack the egg into a mixing bowl, add the sugar and whisk well. ②Add a drizzle of oil or melted butter and milk and whisk again. ③Add the sifted flour and stir in gently with a rubber spatula. 3. Oil the silicone cake moulds and spoon in your mix. 4. Steam on a high heat for about 10 minutes. 5. Now it's time to make Minnie's ribbon. I got this ribbon mould from Daiso. Place it onto some baking paper and outline the shape with a pen. Fill the outline with red-coloured chocolate and leave to set in the fridge. Once it has completely set, add the polkadots. 6. Once the cake has finished steaming, stick her onto a lollipop stick so it the cake be eaten like a lollipop, and fix the ribbon onto the top of Minnie's head. And she's finished! It looks cute when you put a Mickey and Minnie one together side by side. You can make a lot of cute recipes using the Okazu Maker, so get your hands on one and try making your own!

Today, I will show you the perfect recipe for using the Mickey Mouse bread warmer you can buy online at Belle Maison. The warmer can be used for bread, pies and more. They will keep your food from going cold and drying out so it'll still be as delicious as when you put it in! 1. Ingredients Frozen pie sheets Frozen gratin 2. Leave the pie sheets to come to room temperature for 5-10 minutes and then roll out slightly. 3. Cut out two large circles for the face. If you don't have a cutter you can substitute it with a cup or something similar 4. Take one of the circles and cut a smaller size circle like below. 5. Using egg yolk, stick the hollow circle from Step 4 onto the circle from Step 3. For the ears, check the size of the face you have cut out and cut them accordingly. Affix to the face with egg yolk. 6. Layer egg yolk over the years and the outside of the face and then pierce holes with a fork all over. 7. Add the frozen gratin to the middle and bake at 200℃ for 13-15 minutes. The recipe may be simple but looks just like something sold at Mamma Biscotti's Bakery in Tokyo Disneyland! You can add mint sauce to the middle or even make it a meat pie. Whatever you do it's sure to be delicious! Pop into your bread warmer for cute presentation.
