With just a small bit of ingenuity, turn everyday food into something cute using Kaori’s easy recipe! With a few simple ideas, an ordinary recipe magically transforms into a cute dish.   In this recipe, you’ll learn how to transform a store-bought roll cake into a kawaii Hello Kitty cake which contains gyūhi - a form of traditional Japanese sweet which is a variety of mochi.   Ingredients 50g refined rice flour 100ml water 70g sugar potato starch strawberries and whipped cream to your liking sliced chocolate (for Hello Kitty’s face)   1 First, make the gyūhi by mixing 50g of refined rice flour with 100ml of water. Mix well to avoid lumps. Once this has been mixed, add 70g of sugar and mix again.   2 Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and microwave at 600W for 2 minutes.   3 Stir the mixture with a rubber spatula and microwave again for one more minute at 600W.   4 Use a rubber spatula to stir the mixture until it clumps together in one piece. Put a large portion of potato starch onto a tray and place your gyūhi on top.   5 Once the gyūhi has cooled, cut it to the size of the palm of your hand and use a rolling pin to stretch it out into a flat shape.   6 Leave your gyūhi to cool. In the meantime, bring out your store-bought roll cake piece and fill the inside with strawberries. When done, top your roll cake piece with whipped cream. *If your forget to add the whipped cream, the strawberries underneath will be visible through the gyūhi layer!   7 Place the gyūhi layer on top of the roll cake and press the dough together at the bottom of the cake to seal it.   8 Shape two pieces of remaining gyūhi dough into triangles and affix them to the top of the cake to create Hello Kitty’s ears. Use the sliced chocolate to create whiskers, eyes and a nose for Hello Kitty’s face and cut up a strawberry to make her bow. Once you have finished putting all the decorations in place, you’re done!   Kaori invites you into her world of character-themed food dishes in her recipe series.
