Recipes with 30 grams of sugar
These red bean paste flower rolls are absolutely gorgeous! The red and white stripes resemble natural marble patterns. Each layer of red bean paste is rolled up perfectly, creating a fluffy and soft white dough wrapper around a smooth and sweet red bean paste filling. Just looking at them makes my mouth water. The dough is soft yet slightly chewy, and the red bean paste is delicate and not too sweet. You can taste the slightly grainy red bean flavor in every bite.
Golden mushrooms are hard to find in Hong Kong. The weather is dry in early autumn, so I'd like to have a bowl of dessert to moisturize my body.
This vibrant "springtime green" instantly elevates the atmosphere the moment it hits the table! The matcha soft European-style bread has a chewy yet soft crust, and inside is a mochi filling filled with nuts—chewy and smooth with cream cheese. Even when cooled, it's still stretchy and delicate. The aroma of tea and milk intertwines, tantalizing your taste buds. It's so soft, it feels like holding the sweetness of spring in your hands! This refreshing green looks so vibrant; even my friend who doesn't like sweets showed off two. Only my stock market friend saw it and jokingly said, "I know this color all too well!" But I couldn't resist the aroma of the creamy filling, so I secretly grabbed one, and my eyes lit up as I chewed.
Gently pull the bread with your hand, and you'll find it soft and fluffy with a naturally light texture. The outer crust is soft and fluffy, and you can even stretch it to reveal its delicate structure. The moment you pull it open, the chocolate sauce inside bursts out with a "whoosh," creating a wonderfully warm chocolate filling that coats the chewy mochi filling, along with crunchy nut pieces. The mochi is bouncy and stretchy, the crunchy nuts balance the sweetness, and the chocolate is rich and creamy. The soft bread sandwiched with the bursting filling and nuts is a perfect combination of soft, chewy, crunchy, and sweet flavors in one bite—pure satisfaction!
When making this red bean paste bread, I deliberately avoided cutting or braiding it, mainly to prevent the red bean paste from drying out after baking in the oven, which would greatly affect the texture. Instead, I layered the red bean paste into the dough, creating a flaky, layered texture similar to puff pastry. This avoided the problem of biting into a mouthful of filling that was cloyingly sweet, and allowed the sweetness of the red bean paste to blend perfectly with the softness of the bread. Every bite offers a delightful combination of creamy red bean paste and fluffy dough, with rich layers that make it incredibly satisfying to eat.
I really can't eat the braised dishes sold outside. I tried a Chaoshan bagged marinade that was popular on the Internet before, but the greasy smell was too strong when it was cooked, and I couldn't get used to it. It seems that you can't be lazy when making braised food. It's still more reliable to carefully prepare a pot of marinade yourself. After each braising, carefully filter out impurities, boil it, let it cool, and put it in the refrigerator for the next time. Why does the old braising become more fragrant as it is braised? First, the protein, amino acids, and fat of the ingredients will melt into the sauce during the braising process, and the flavor of the spices will be released repeatedly. Under the interaction, the taste becomes more and more intense and the layers are richer; second, the more times the braising is done, the spicy aroma of the spices in the marinade and the umami flavor of the ingredients will gradually balance and stabilize, and the braised food will naturally be more mellow. You should also pay attention to the storage of the old braising: filter and boil it for sterilization after each braising, seal it well and refrigerate or freeze it. It is recommended to use it within 1-2 weeks, and it is best to boil it again once a week for sterilization to prevent deterioration.
Black seaweed wrapped around white rice, topped with pink, tender Arctic sweet shrimp. Their tails were a vibrant red, as if they'd just jumped out of the water. Placed on the sushi, they looked like a blanket of vibrant red, a breathtakingly fresh quilt covering the rice. Sandwiched between the shrimp and rice, the cheese slices were gleaming with a milky aroma. Inside, tucked away in intestines and crab sticks, the meaty aroma was enough to make your mouth water! The carnivore in my family was so enchanted by the sight of this plate of sushi that he rushed over in two steps. The first bite revealed the crisp seaweed and soft rice, followed by the freshness of the Arctic sweet shrimp, the fragrance of the intestines, and the springiness of the crab sticks. The cheese still sizzled with a milky aroma, and the sweet and sour Thousand Island dressing and mayonnaise accentuated the meaty flavor. The sushi was so fresh, fragrant, and satisfying that I couldn't stop. Look at that guy, his chopsticks seem to have legs, he puts one bite after another into his mouth, and in the blink of an eye, half of the plate is gone, and he is still mumbling, "the shrimps are so fresh" and "the cheese and meat are so delicious together", and finally he picks up the plate and puts it into his mouth, the whole plate is gone in the blink of an eye, and after finishing it, he licks his fingers with satisfaction and shouts, "I'll make another plate tomorrow!"
The delicate white cubes coated in fine coconut flakes look refreshing and exquisite. I prefer the version made with white agar powder; gelatin makes it sticky, while white agar powder has a chewy, bouncy texture that's delightfully bouncy. This one doesn't contain cream; the sweetness comes purely from milk and coconut milk, with a rich coconut flavor that's not cloying, and the sweetness is just right—completely guilt-free. A cup of jasmine tea brewed at a 1:50 tea-to-water ratio is perfect. Steep in 80-85°C water for 3-5 minutes. The fresh jasmine aroma and the sweetness of the coconut milk blend perfectly. A bite of the cube followed by a sip of tea instantly balances the sweetness, leaving you feeling incredibly refreshed. Enjoy a cup of this tea with the coconut milk cubes as an afternoon snack, or have one after a meal to cleanse your palate. Whether enjoyed alone or shared with family, it brings a sense of pure bliss.
Freshly baked cheesy bacon lava buns, with a golden crust coated in cheese powder, soft and stretchy to the touch. Tear the bread open, and the cheese slices slowly unfold with a milky aroma, releasing the savory bacon flavor immediately. The rich meaty and milky aromas intertwine, and the soft dough encases the savory filling, making every bite a satisfying experience.
