Matcha Wafers
Recently my mom and I went to a Japanese confectionery store, where they sold chocolates, gaufers, cookies, etc. They gave us this cool flyer that talked about all of their products, and Matcha Wafers showed up. So I decided to give it a go.
Ingredients
Matcha Cream- http://www.eatingwell.com/recipe/252218/matcha-cream/
1/2 cup Greek yogurt
1/8 cup whipping cream
1 1/4 tsp powdered sugar
1 teaspoon matcha powder dissolved in warm water
200 g white chocolate
1 1/2 tsp matcha tea powder
Wafer sheets (Example)
Directions
Place Greek yogurt in a paper towel or cheese clot, place over a sieve, and strain for 2 hours. (I used a cup and a funnel). Discard excess water. Whip heavy cream and add sugar until stiff peaks form. (Heavy cream will be a very small amount so use an appropriately sized bowl). Add yogurt and matcha. Fold until fully incorporated. Cut long strips of wafer, all equal sizes. Each cookie has two wafers sandwiched together by cream. Place all finished sandwiches in the freezer until frozen. Next, melt chocolate. (Please use MELTING CHOCOLATES. I learned the hard way by using cheaper white chocolate chips.) Take frozen wafers and cut to desired size (I went for mini). Dip in chocolate and place on parchment paper lined dish/pan to set. Dust with matcha powder (optional). Refrigerate up to 4 days.
Sukiyaki - Vegetarian
This recipe is basically a boozed vegetable soup. BE WARNED. It tasted great, but I would change the recipe by putting half of all the alcohol they used, unless you want that kick in the head. Then put it all. I also used normal noodles instead of shirataki because that is the only thing they had in Costco.
