1: Preparing the Azuki Paste |
|
|
Botamochi is a unique treat from Japan made of sweet rice and Azuki paste. We first introduced Botamochi in Papa’s Cupcakeria HD.
First you will need to find two 15oz cans of Azuki Beans. They also go by several alternate names including Adzuki, and Aduki. Not the dry bag of beans, but the cans. If you can only find dry azuki beans, you will have to prep them a bit different.
Empty the contents (beans and liquid) of the cans into a medium saucepan. Mix in the brown sugar. Boil the mixture for 45 minutes while stirring occasionally.
Then pour the contents into a mixing bowl, and blend until it is a mash potato like consistency.
Let the bean paste cool down. Then place it in a container, cover, and place it in the refrigerator until cold. |
 |
|
|
Pour in the Glutinous Rice and the White Rice into a strainer and rinse it 2-3 times. Let the rice sit in the strainer for about 30 minutes.
Pour the rice into a Rice Cooker. Fill with water until water is 1 inch over the top of the rice. Cook at the “White Rice” Setting (around 30 minutes).
When the rice is done, mash it with a wooden spoon into a mushy consistency.
If you do not have a Rice Cooker, you will need to cook the rice on the stove top. |
 |
|
|
First, place a sheet of cling wrap on a scale. Place 2 oz (56.7 g) of Azuki Paste on the the cling wrap. Flatten it out into a disk.
Roll a 1.25 oz (25.4g) ball of rice and place it on the center of the Azuki Paste disk.
The sheet of cling wrap will act as a barrier between your hands and the bean paste. Encapsulate the rice ball with Azuki Paste by folding up all the corners and edges of the cling wrap around the rice. Twist the ends of the cling wrap together so it packs the rice and paste together nicely.
Now you have a perfect Botamochi. Unwrap, place it on a dish, and try to make some more. |

Last time, we had you make Apple Crisp Pie. Let’s see some examples:




 |
|
 |
|
|
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, shortening, white sugar, and salt. Mix it up until it is blended and crumbly.
In a small bowl, whisk the egg and water together. Pour it into the flour mixture, and blend them together.
On a clean surface, sprinkle flour, and roll out the dough into a large flat disk. Spray the pie pan with cooking spray and place dough in it. Firmly press the dough against the bottom and sides of the pan, and trim any overhanging dough from the rim of the pie pan. Using your fingers, flute the dough around the perimeter of the pan. |
 |
|
|
In a medium bowl, pour all the Streusel toppings together and mix by hand until it is blended and crumbly. |
 |
|
|
Carefully wash, peel, core, and slice the apples into thin slices. Mix the sliced apples with the rest of the filling ingredients in a large bowl. |
 |
|
|
First, Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C).
Pour the pie filling into the dough-lined pie pan. Cover the top of the filling with all of the Streusel mix.
Bake the pie for 40-45 minutes or until the pie crust and streusel are golden brown. Then, take the pie out of the oven and allow it to cool down.
Once it is cooled, spray whipped cream around the inside edge of the pie, slice, and enjoy! |

Last time, we had you make a Toastwood Poutine. Let’s see some examples:



|
 |
|
 |
|
|
Before you start, you will want to measure everything out ahead of time. You will also want to warm the beef broth in the microwave or stove top. Not to the point of boiling though.
On the stovetop, melt the butter in a small saucepan while continuously stirring so it doesn’t burn. Then add the flour while still whisking. Once the flour is fully blended in, then add the warmed beef broth.
Bring the gravy to a boil, then turn off the heat and remove it from the stovetop. |
 |
|
|
Let the gravy cool for 2 minutes, then mix in the salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and worcester sauce. Now you have Toastwood gravy to use on your Toastwood Poutine! |

So last week, we had you make a Raspberry Bark. Let’s see some examples:


 |
|
 |
|
|
We first introduced Raspberry Bark in Papa’s Donuteria and since Valentine’s Day is quickly approaching we thought it would be a nice addition to Papa’s Cookbook!First, thoroughly wash the raspberries before using them. Then on a cutting board, dice up the raspberries so that they are roughly cut into fourths. Put them in a bowl and carefully pour out any excess juice that may have pooled in the bowl. Set this bowl aside for later.Pour the Milk Chocolate Chips into a microwave safe bowl, and pour the White Chocolate Chips into a second microwave safe bowl.
Take your baking pan and line it with parchment paper. |
 |
2: Melting Milk Chocolate |
|
|
These next steps will need to be done swiftly, so read everything first and prepare yourself for all the steps involved.Heat your bowl of Milk Chocolate Chips in the microwave on high for 30 seconds. Take the bowl out of the microwave using oven mitts, and stir with a spoon. If it isn’t nice and melted yet, place it back in the microwave for another 30 seconds and stir. Repeat until it fully melted but not burned. You can also use a stovetop and small pot to melt the chocolate chips if necessary.Pour the melted chocolate into the baking pan and spread it out evenly so that it is about 1/4th of an inch thick. |
 |
3: Melting Pink Chocolate |
|
|
Heat your bowl of White Chocolate Chips in the microwave on high for 30 seconds. Take the bowl out of the microwave using oven mitts, and stir with a spoon. If it isn’t nice and melted yet, place it back in the microwave for another 30 seconds and stir.Then immediately pour in the diced raspberries and pink food coloring and mix it all together.If the white chocolate started to solidify from the cool raspberries, you can put it back in the microwave for an additional 15 seconds.
Spoon out dollops of the mixture on top of the melted milk chocolate, spaced out evenly. Then take your butter knife or wood skewer and start swirling the pink chocolate into the milk chocolate. You don’t want to mix it completely, but just enough that you get a nice swirly pattern throughout the chocolate. |
 |
|
|
Place the pan in the refrigerator until it is completely hardened and cold.Take the pan out of the refrigerator and break the chocolate into piece with your hands. Store it in the refrigerator and enjoy your Raspberry Bark! |
