Menu ideas to enjoy for a June snack activity (for seniors)

Soy milk and carrot mousse

Kakamigahara City Frailty-Prevention Snack: FraCafe “Soy Milk Carrot Mousse”

Here’s how to make a gentle-tasting, smooth-to-swallow soy milk carrot mousse.

The ingredients are soy milk, heavy cream, carrot purée, sugar, agar, and water.

Put the sugar and agar in a pot and mix, then add the other ingredients and stir well before heating.

Stir over low heat and warm until just before boiling, then divide into containers and chill to set.

Arrange the containers in a tray filled with ice water to cool.

Once set, top with whipped cream and mint leaves if you like, and your carrot mousse is ready.

Tofu Mitarashi Dango

[Homemade Snack] Simple, Delicious, and Healthy ❤︎ Made tofu Mitarashi dango as a little treat ★

How about trying to make mitarashi dango as a snack activity? You use shiratamako (glutinous rice flour), and the ingredient to combine with it is tofu.

Mix the healthy, nutritious tofu with the shiratamako, roll the dough into bite-sized balls, and boil them in water; once they float to the surface, the dango are done.

For the mitarashi sauce, mix water, sugar, soy sauce, mirin, and potato starch, then heat until it thickens.

If you like, you can pan-fry or toast the dango to add some char.

Serve with plenty of sauce and enjoy!

Just keep mixing the ingredients and steam them, and you’ll have simple, nostalgic steamed bread.

It’s also nice to make variations by mixing in chocolate or sweet potato.
