Microwave Matcha Green Tea and White Chocolate Chip Cookie for One!

01/25/2018 //  by Carmen

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Do you ever get cravings for a fresh baked cookie?  Like, just ONE cookie? Despite my perpetually famished wild animal – like appetite… I do!!!  And this matcha, white chocolate chip cookie hits the spot!

I’ve used matcha a few times before… like here and here (yeah, yeah… I’m 1/2 Japanese, so you’d think I absorb this ingredient from all parts of my body, right? Well, I don’t. But I will change my ways, I promise!!!)… and I have to tell you, THIS is my FAVORITE matcha recipe as of yet (out of the three total I’ve tried thus far)!

Prep & make is so simple and quick that you can make more than one of these in just a few minutes (we even made a huuujumbo one with 3x the ingredients)… totally defeating the, “I want just one cookie” craving… 🙂

So fancy… served with matcha green tea latte!
Ingredients:
1 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
15 white chocolate chips
3 tbsp all purpose flour
2 tbsp granulated white sugar
1 tbsp egg, whisked
1/4 tsp matcha powder (I used Maeda-En culinary quality)

 

Instructions:

  1. Line a large round microwave-safe plate with parchment paper.
  2. Combine all ingredients in a small bowl until smooth batter forms.
  3. Scoop out batter into middle of plate to form a round cookie shape.
  4. Smooth surface with spoon or spatula if needed.
  5. Cook in microwave for about 50 seconds.
  6. Let cookie cool before eating.
Tadaaa! Microwave cookie!!!
We x3’d the ingredients and made a GIANT one!
… sucker’s even bigger than my face!

I know it’s all in my head... but as my son’s I know it’s all in my head... but as my son’s 2nd semester at UNLV approaches, the lazier I feel... and I’m not even the one going to school!!! 🤦🏻‍♀️ 
 
So needing a time-out from the kitchen, I grabbed a couple of quick yummies from @chankoshabu ... 
 
✔️ Salmon Bowl (salmon & salmon egg on steamed white rice. The salmon was supposed to be raw but ended up cooked by the steamed rice lol... if taking home, I suggest you request them to separate the protein 🐟) 
 
✔️ Takoyaki (octopus balls 🐙 lol) 
 
✔️ Menchi Katsu (panko breaded ground meat) 
 
✔️ Tuna Poke (tuna with poke sauce and seaweed salad) 
 
✔️ Kaki Fry (Japanese fried oysters with Tartar sauce) 
 
Everything tasted sooo oishii! 😋🤤💕 and the restaurant looks beautifully authentic Japanese... I’m definitely going back to dine in!!! 
 
Have a fun Sunday!

Oden (Japanese one-pot fish cake stew) 🇯🇵🍢🍲     
    
I must confess... I was born in Japan, but have never ever had ODEN. 😱     
   
This simmered dish usually includes daikon, boiled eggs 🥚, fish cakes 🍥 , and konnyaku stewed in a dashi broth for about an hour 🍲     
    
And being an anime addict, I see this dish served all the freakin time... I’ve been telling myself I have to try it. Kept putting it off for years... until now. 🙆🏻‍♀️    
    
I totally forgot to throw in the eggs & konnyaku 🙈... but it came out pretty good regardless. The daikon came out soooo tender and delicious, having absorbed the broth... omg you could slice them with chopsticks! 🥢🇯🇵🍱    
    
I guess this counts as a blooper as well... but I’ll post again when I make it properly! 🙋🏻‍♀️    
    
Happy Friday! 🎉

Raindrop Cake #fail 😭🙅🏻‍♀️    ( Raindrop Cake #fail 😭🙅🏻‍♀️ 
 
( Note: I’ve reactivated my personal IG account @carmenasakurai ... please come connect... I’d appreciate not being left all by myself... 🙏🏻 ) 
 
This was my first attempt at making these delicately beautiful desserts... and it bombed. 💣  
 
I added too much agar powder thinking they needed the extra to hold the fruit in place... Instead, they came out cloudy (vs. crystal clear like a damb raindrop) and not very delicate... 
 
I’ll try again soon and hopefully will have photos of what they’re supposed to look like... 🍓💧😍 
 
Happy Thursday!

Namasu (daikon & carrot salad) 🥗🥕    Whe Namasu (daikon & carrot salad) 🥗🥕 
 
Whether as a condiment or main ingredient... I sooo love daikon radish! 🥰 
 
Enter NAMASU. I first tasted this daikon salad when my adorable niece @orukie grabbed lunch at a Vietnamese restaurant near UNLV and offered her most favorite Tita (Tagalog of “auntie”) a bite. I’ve been addicted since! ❤️ 
 
This refreshingly sweet, sour, and crunchy salad is often included as part of Osechi Ryori – the traditional New Year’s dishes in Japan. 🇯🇵🍱 
 
I make this all the time now... sooo yummy & super easy to make too! Ready? 
 
Recipe 👉🏻 https://girlplusfood.com/namasu/ 
 
Ingredients: 
 
✔️ 14 oz daikon radish peeled and cut into 2 inch matchsticks 
✔️ 3 oz carrots peeled and cut into 2 inch matchsticks 
✔️ 1 tsp kosher/sea salt 
 
Dressing: 
✔️ 1.5 tbsp sugar 
✔️ 1.5 tbsp rice vinegar 
✔️ 1 tbsp water 
✔️ 1/4 tsp kosher/sea salt 
 
Instructions: 
 
* In a bowl, sprinkle salt over daikon and carrot and gently combine. Set aside for 10 minutes. (This will help draw out the extra liquid so the veggies stay crunchy.)
 
 
* Whisk together all dressing ingredients. Set aside.
 
 
* Squeeze out moisture form daikon and carrots and place in serving dish or storage container. Pour dressing and lightly toss to combine.
 
 
* Serve chilled. 
 
Alrighty... Enjoy your Wednesday! 🎉
