Here's a simple Japanese dessert recipe made using hot water ready in your water boiler. Gravity helps to separate the two layers while the mixture hardens.
Ingredients (serves 4-6):
Topping:
*Available in your local Asian grocery store
Place cold water in a bowl, sprinkle both envelopes of gelatin and let stand 1 minute. Pour boiling water in the bowl and stir until gelatin completely dissolves, about 3 minutes.
Add soy creamer to the bowl and mix well.
Add sweet bean paste to the bowl and mix well.
Pour mixture into a 4" x 6" container and refrigerate until firm, about 3 hours.
Mix Matcha and powdered sugar in a small bowl. Remove the gelatin from the container, dust with Matcha-sugar, cut into bite size squares and serve.
