With just a small bit of ingenuity, turn everyday food into something cute using Kaori’s recipe series! With a few simple ideas, an ordinary recipe magically transforms into a cute dish.

 

This time, I will introduce to you “Soft and Juicy Rilakkuma Bun.”

 

It is a rich-tasting heavy bun which has lots of eggs and butter inside.

 

1: ingredients

Bread flour – 320g

Dry yeast – 2 tea spoons

Sugar – 3 table spoons

Salt – 2/3 tea spoons

Egg – 1 to 2 (100g)

Warm butter – 80cc

Salt-free butter – 80g

 

Cocoa, pumpkin powder – moderate amount

Chocolate pen

 

2:

  • Put the flour, yeast, sugar and salt into a bowl. Place the yeast beside the sugar and place the salt on the opposite side to enhance fermentation.

➁ Mix warm water and the eggs.

Put ➁ into ➂ and ① and mix thoroughly then add butter.

★You can use a beater or mix the ingredients by hand.

  • Put cocoa and pumpkin powder into a small amount of water and mix it.
  • Color the ingredients.

 

The amount of the dough→640g

Pumpkin powder dough (Kiiroi Tori)→80g

Cocoa powder dough→(Rilakkuma and the tree trunk)→320g

Place dough (Kolirakkuma)→240g

 

 

3:

Color each dough and leave them for about 40 minutes (put wet towels on them) to enhance primary fermentation.

★Refer to the recipe of KITTY Chan’s Chigiri Pan regarding the method of fermentation.

 

 

4:

Separate the doughs after primary fermentation is done.

Kiiroi Tori→80g

Rilakkuma→face 72g / ear 4g ×2

Tree trunk→160g

Korilakkuma→face 72g, ear 4g ×2

 

★The weights noted above are approximate weights since the dough differs according to the amount of water and the weather conditions.

 

Place wet towels on the doughs and leave them for about 30 minutes to enhance the second fermentation.

 

Put the dough inside the oven (180 degrees) after the second fermentation is finished. Lower the oven’s temperature to between 140 to 150 degrees and bake the dough for about 20 minutes. Place an aluminum foil on top of the dough if it looks like they are it is getting burnt.

 

 

5:

Draw the face after the buns are cooled.

Use the round side of the toothpick to draw the ears, mouth and eyes and use the tip of the toothpick to draw the nose.

 

Voila! You are finished.

 

It is now the Christmas season so I decorated it to match the season.

  • Kaori’s Easy Recipe: Learn to Make Miffy Parfait Using Tofu!

    08.September.2021 | FEATURES / FOOD

    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, I’ll show you how to make an adorable Miffy Parfait using tofu shiratama!   Tofu shiratama can be frozen without hardening, so it’s great to use for cooking as well as making sweets.     Ingredients 250g refined rice flour 300g silken tofu ✩ This is about 1 bag of refined rice flour and 1 piece of silken tofu. Canned fruit or fruit of your choice     Put the refined rice flour and silken tofu into a bowl and mix well. ⚠️ Do not drain the tofu! Don’t add water, just these two ingredients.   ✩I knead all ingredients and then freeze it. Feel free to freeze it as dough, or boil it first. You can put them in Tupperware and store them in water in the refrigerator for a day or two. Don’t worry, they won’t harden!   Add the coloring. Take a little bit of food coloring and add as you like. Here, I’m adding the yellow that will be the center of the flower.     After mixing the dough, place it on parchment paper and put it in the freezer for about 30 minutes. You can shape it before placing it in the freezer, but chilling it will make it easier to work with.   Cut out Miffy and her flowers. Place the yellow-colored piece into the middle of the flower. Roll the rest of the shiratama into balls.     Boil the shaped shiratama while on the baking sheet. Boil the round shiratama as well. When they float to the top, place them in cool water.     Place the shaped shiratama on parchment paper or plastic wrap and let dry briefly before adding decoration.     Mix black cocoa with a little water, and using the mixture, draw Miffy’s face.     ⑧   Place the flowers and shiratama balls inside the glass, follow up with your favorite fruits! (If using canned fruit, feel free to add the syrup as well!)   I hope you enjoy decorating this colorful dish!

  • Kaori’s Easy Valentine’s Recipe: Learn to Make Rilakkuma Hot Chocolate Sticks

    05.February.2021 | FEATURES / FOOD

    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.   Today, I'll be showing you a simple recipe for Valentine's Day made with ingredients bought entirely from the 100 yen store Seria. I call it the "Rilakkuma Hot Chocolate Stick."   Ingredients Square mould from Seria (makes six sticks) 1 bag of milk chocolates 1 bag of white chocolates 1 bag of dark chocolates Toppings of your choice (I used caramel chocolate chips and walnuts)  

    1

    Melt all the chocolates separately over a bain-marie.  

    2

    Create layers with each chocolate type. Pick your first choice and pour into the mould and wait for it to set lightly before adding the next chocolate. For this recipe, I went ahead and added the chocolate a little before layers had finished setting to create a marbling effect.   ✩I also added some strawberry chocolate I had left over from my Rilakkuma chocolates.  

    3

    Once all your chocolate is in the mould, stick in some lollipops and add toppings of your choice making sure they don't overflow. This will ensure they set together with the chocolate.  

    4

    Allow to set overnight and your chocolate stick is ready.  

    5

    I made Rilakkuma chocolates from scratch and added those to the sticks to finish.   Kaori invites you into her world of character-themed food dishes in her recipe series. Be sure to check out her Instagram where she has uploaded many pictures of her character dishes!
