Japanese Matcha Banana Bread Fluffy Japanese Matcha Banana Bread with a Touch of Green Tea Elegance Ingredients: 2 ripe bananas, mashed 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour 1 tablespoon Japanese matcha powder (culinary grade) 1 teaspoon baking soda ½ teaspoon salt ½ cup granulated sugar ¼ cup brown sugar ½ cup unsalted butter, melted 2 large eggs 1 teaspoon vanilla extract ¼ cup plain yogurt or sour cream Optional: ½ cup white chocolate chips or chopped walnuts Directions: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and yogurt. Mix until well combined. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Stir gently until the batter is just combined—do not overmix. Fold in white chocolate chips or chopped walnuts if using. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Mochi Ice Cream Chewy Japanese Mochi Ice Cream Bites Ingredients: 1 cup glutinous rice flour (Mochiko) 1/4 cup granulated sugar 3/4 cup water Cornstarch (for dusting) 1 pint ice cream (any flavor), scooped into small balls and frozen solid Directions: Scoop your ice cream into small balls using a cookie scoop or tablespoon and place on a tray lined with parchment paper. Freeze for at least 1 hour until firm. In a microwave-safe bowl, whisk together the glutinous rice flour, sugar, and water until smooth. Cover the bowl loosely with plastic wrap and microwave for 1 minute. Stir, then microwave in 30-second intervals (about 2-3 more times), stirring between each, until the mochi dough becomes thick and slightly translucent. Dust a clean surface generously with cornstarch and transfer the hot mochi dough onto it. Sprinkle more cornstarch on top and roll out the dough to about 1/4 inch thickness. Using a round cutter (about 3.5 inches), cut circles from the dough. Place them on a tray and refrigerate for 15 minutes. Working quickly, wrap each frozen ice cream ball with a mochi round, pinching the edges to seal. Return to the freezer for 2 hours before serving.
