Easy steamed bread with a silicon steamer

Silicon steamer, a convenient item that allows you to steam vegetables and meat in a microwave oven. You can easily make steamed bread with this silicone steamer! This time, I will introduce a recipe for instant "tea steamed bread" that can be easily made using a commercially available pancake mix.

● Materials

Click here for what to prepare. I refer to the recipe of ITO EN.

2 tablespoons of tea that can be dissolved in water and drunk
Hot cake mix 200g (7.05oz)
Milk 160cc
1 egg

If you like, you can add sweet natto and mix it!

● How to make

Put the tea powder and pancake mix in a bowl and mix.




Combine the milk and eggs, mix well, add to the pancake mix bowl and mix quickly.



Pour the dough into a silicon steamer and heat in a 500W microwave for 6-8 minutes. The dough swells, so the point is to pour it into half of the container and bake it.


Check the degree of burning by sticking a bamboo skewer. If it's cooked, it's done!

● What is the taste?

The fluffy steamed bread is soft and the teeth sink when you bite it. The taste is crisp and bittersweet, and the deep umami and astringency of green tea spread throughout the mouth. It goes really well with milk!


The steamed bread itself is not sweet, so it is recommended to add sweet elements such as sweet natto and azuki beans. Or maybe you can add whipped cream or ice cream! Please be careful about the baking time and burns so that it does not become too hard!
