Baked Goods - Great Treats In All Countries
All countries love baked goods. That's the one thing countries can agree on. Some countries love buttery treats while others love sugary desserts. You'll see neighboring countries share the same likes and dislikes. It's funny that you can have the same ingredients for a dessert in the United States, but it just won't taste the same as desserts from the country of origin. We will make our first stop in Japan.
Japanese baked treats are not flaky like French pastries, but delicious and buttery, soft and tasty. In Japanese baked goods, there is more butter than sugar. Very creative fillings as well.
Bread in Japan started in around 1872 in a bakery store in Tokyo. It was very similar to Dutch loaves and the Japanese were not ready for this taste and the bakers son made a change to the recipe. With this change came the addition of sake kasu instead of yeast. This idea came from Kodo Katsuzo who decided to get rid of his early experiments in the Tokyo Bay after trying to sell them to foreigners in Yokohama... unsuccessfully. Most Japanese baked goods are buttery and delicious with a meat or bean component to them.
Chinese baked goods are awesome. One of my favorites is the Cha Siu Baau. Cha Siu Baau is Cantonese and is either a baked or steamed bun made of soft bread on the outside and meat on the inside. The meat is slow roasted pork tenderloin and it has a little bit of marinade and sauce in it. This is definitely a heavier baked good, but I absolutely love it. I can eat it for breakfast, lunch or dinner.
China is also known for their Jian Dui or Sesame Balls. The outside is coated with sesame seeds on the outside and is very chewy. There is a hollow created on the inside that is usually filled with beans of some kind. A very subtle, but distinct flavor.
If you find yourself in Japan or China, try these delicious treats. They are delicious and memorable. You'll crave them as soon as you return to America. If you're lucky, your neighborhood has an asian bakery.
