  2. Portion the filling from Step 1 (or store bought filling) into 12 balls.
  3. Mix together the cake flour and dried yomogi.
  4. Put the water and sugar into a bowl, and heat to melt the sugar. After cooling, add baking soda and combine with the dough from Step 3. Let chill in the refrigerator to make it easier to handle.
  5. Break the dough from Step 4 into 12 balls. (About the same size as the filling balls).
  6. Shape the manju. Flatten the dough balls from Step 5 and place a filling in the center.

  9. Once you get all the dough and filling balls to Step 8, put the opening side down and lightly coat with katakuriko. They'll be nice and shiny when finished. You could also omit it.
  10. Place the manju in a steamer on 3-4 cm sheets of parchment paper. They will plump when steamed, so leave a little room between.
