Vegan sweets with Japanese traditional ingredients

As I have been vegan after I got pregnant, I made vegan sweets with Japanese Traditional Ingredients, "Fu - Rusk".

Fu is one of Japanese traditional food, dried bread- like piece of wheat gluten. As it is rich in vegetable protein, it was a precious source of protein for vegetarian monks in the old days.

Fu is often eaten with miso soup and other simmered foods, however, I tried to make sweets with Fu, Miso (fermented soy bean paste), walnuts and vegetable oil.

How to make "Fu-Rusk"

Fu

First heat oil in a large flying pan and add Fu. Heat them until both sides of Fu turn golden brown. Take Fu out of the pan and place them on an iron plate with oven sheet.

Put sugar, sweet white miso and oil in a boil and mix them well. Add roughly crushed walnuts and coat them with the sauce. Put the mixture on each top of Fu.





Roast them in a 160℃ oven for 4 about 4 minutes. (Be careful not to burn them)

Now enjoy 100％ vegan sweets!
