Ingredients
- Cornstarch or potato starch, as needed
- 80 g kurozato (Japanese black sugar)
- ½ tablespoon soy sauce
- 200 ml water
- 120 g sweet glutinous rice flour (shiratama-ko)
- 50 g walnuts, coarsely chopped
Method
- Generously dust a cookie sheet with cornstarch.
- Combine the sugar, soy sauce, and water in a saucepan. Simmer until the sugar fully dissolves, stirring so as not to burn.
- Add the rice flour, and stir well to form a cohesive dough.
- Transfer the dough to a microwave-safe container. Heat it in the microwave for 30–40 seconds, then take it out and mix well. Repeat this process until it is thoroughly brown.
- Mix the walnuts into the dough.
- Pat the dough evenly onto the prepared cookie sheet in a layer about 5 cm (2 in) thick. If it's too hot, let it cool a bit first.
- Dust the top of the dough with additional starch. Let cool fully.
- Cut the confection into pieces.
