Bracken starch is hard to come by and many has substitute it with either potato starch, corn starch or Kuzu powder aka arrowroot powder.
For me, since I have kuzu powder on hand, which I wanted to make another dessert for it but my phone crashed and I lost that recipe and many contacts as well.
Years ago, my friend Rei actually made some and we really like it and making this now, reminds me of her. I wonder how is she coping now.
Rei if you are reading this, please contact me.
Findings: I can't really recall how was the texture that R made. For this one, it is really refreshing to eat it cold. The kinako powder gives this dessert a nice aroma and the black sugar syrup matches perfectly.
On its own, it is rather bland though.
What you need:
100g kuzu powder400ml water60g fine sugarMethod:
Mix kuzu powder with sugar.
Add in water and stir until lumpfree. Sieve.
Cook in a pot, keep stiring until the mixture turned to transparent.
Remove and pour into a small plate.
Submerge the plate into cold water and let it stand until cool.
Remove from water and drain a little.
Cut into cubes.
Serve with black sugar and kinako powder.
Perfect for a hot day!
Enjoy.
