Matcha Red Bean Mochi Filled Soft European Buns

Overview

This is a mochi-filled European bun that is popular on all major websites. I immediately became confused when I saw the picture. I immediately tried making it. As expected, it has a super soft texture, and the mochi is so chewy and delicious. Matcha is a bit bitter, which just matches the sweetness of the filling. If you don't like it, you can replace it with purple sweet potato powder or cocoa powder, or simply add nothing at all, and it will be delicious with just white flour. I like red beans. This time I used Natural Forest’s lotus seed red bean filling. Natural Forest’s filling has no additives, low sugar and no oil. It has a soft texture and natural flavor. It is healthy and fashionable, and you can eat it with confidence.
