The first thing was sweet potato scones with blueberries. I made this with an Okinawan sweet potato. This came out kind of dry - maybe next time I'll add some cream cheese to add moisture, but other than the dryness, it was pretty good!
The next thing I made was okakiage, which was featured on Ochikeron's YouTube channel. It's fried chicken pieces, similar to karaage but coated with kaki no tane (without the peanuts). I modified the recipe by marinating the chicken in shoyu, sake, sugar and garlic, but it still needed salt. It was really good!
I also made shumai. I had never had much success making these with pre-ground pork, but this time around I used pork belly, pulsed in my food processor, and the resulting mash was much stickier than ground pork. As a result, when steamed, the meat didn't separate from the wrapper, and it turned out really good!!
