Comment on The Best Milk Bread Recipe Experiment Ep 1 | Chopstick Chronicle (Yudane) vs 우미스베이킹 Umi’s Baking (Tangzhong) by Carlienne

In reply to LuxMoien.

Hi LuxMoien, we appreciate you taking the time to leave a comment! Much of history will remain disputed indefinitely – what really amazes me is just how discoveries and experiments over time give us such wonderful things, even things that we may use every day but never really understand. I am grateful for all the work done before me! You are correct that there is so much from Japanese culture and invention – especially food – that is desirable to the entire world (we ourselves are great fans of many Japanese things). Thank you for sharing your knowledge and thoughts!

Hi I am Japanese. I respect your attitude to knowledge. You are Chinese but keep a fair and neutral attitude to search for a fact. It is respectable. very much dude!
In my understanding, Yudane was obviously invented in Japan and the method was already established at least 40 – 50 years ago (or even before) among small private bakeries in my research. The patent of Yudane was registered by a big Japanese company in 2001 as well and the product in itself was sold around from 1998 Pasco. The Tangzhong came from a Taiwanese woman in 2007.
Some people don’t want to accept the simple fact that Taiwan, China, and Korea (and other some East Asian countries), are hugely influenced by Japan since they are longing for Japanese civilization. And bread-baking methodology as well. As you pointed out, the Taiwanese enjoy Japanese stuff and there is no wonder the Taiwanese woman took the idea of Yudane. The question is how she found out the method (over 65 degree method) suddenly out of nowhere, but she is not explaining well and it sounds she is hiding. The problem is even though it is nearly certain the Tangzhong is a copied (and just a bit modified) version of Yudane since she is not clarifying a satisfactory (academically proper) explanation, the topic in itself remains unclear so the Japanese side also cannot say strongly it is our origin. But intuitively & objectively, it is obvious.

Comment on Daifuku Mochi v2 with the Tiger Mochi Maker | Mochi Making Journey (Part 7) by Carlienne

In reply to mochi. Thanks for your question! If you're not trying to make daifuku mochi, then I would stick to the original recipe and start your testing from there. We used more water because we wanted a softer and stretchier texture. Good luck!

Hello, just came across your recipe, thanks for sharing. This is a fairly old post and I’m not sure if this blog is still active so fingers crossed I get a reply. If I want to cook 5-10C of rice, do you suggest I follow the original recipe or always use 2.5C of water no matter what? I’m not making daifuku mochi and plan to use the mochi itself as filling so I don’t need the same texture for wrapping either!
