Simple recipe for "Karinto Manju"

Isn't the "Karinto Manju" sold at Japanese sweets shops the best? The crispy fried brown sugar dough is fragrant and juicy enough to absorb oil. It goes well with the inside.

You can easily reproduce it at home using such Karinto Manju and commercially available Manju!

● Materials

Click here for what to prepare. I refer to Kikkoman's recipe.

2 brown sugar buns 1 tablespoon salad oil

* 1 tablespoon of soy sauce for seasoning sauce
1 tablespoon mirin
1 teaspoon sugar


Use ordinary brown sugar buns instead of thin-skinned buns. This time, we will finish with the sauce, so prepare the steamed buns for the number of people and the amount of seasoning to match.

● How to make

Put oil in a frying pan and heat it over low medium heat, then roll the steamed buns and fry them on both sides.


Place it on kitchen paper, drain the oil, and let it cool. Of course, it's super delicious even if you eat it here. With a crispy and comfortable texture, the next moment, the richness of juicy oil and the fragrant sweetness spread.



However, this time we will continue to season it from here.

Put soy sauce, mirin and sugar in the frying pan and heat it. When it comes to a boil, add the fried steamed bun and quickly entangle the sauce.


Take it out and let it cool, and you're done!

● What is the taste?

When the sauce is entwined, this is also insanely delicious! The taste of sweet and sour sauce like mitarashi dango and the Japanese flavor of soy sauce further enhance the fragrant taste of fried manju.

The skin is moist and moist, but when you chew it tightly, it makes you happy with a slight crispy texture at the end.


It's delicious to eat normally, but it becomes even more exquisite just by frying it crispy, so try making it quickly while taking out the frying pan!
