No, you can't actually see anything through it, just thin enough to allow light to pass through. After sealing the filling inside the dough, place on a greased baking tray or on a piece of parchment paper placed on the tray. Use either plastic cling wrap or some big container to cover the dough to proof. Hope that helps.Honey Bee Sweetshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07611185580466977913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1452934552254010109.post-54613726867119664992010-08-14T23:14:40.980+08:002010-08-14T23:14:40.980+08:00You are welcome octopusmum.

Why kids nowadays don't like red beans? I remember when I was young, I would be chiding down red bean buns no prob. My girls? They would say "mummy, why this one black black? I don't want!" *sigh* as for the mochi bread, the quest for the recipe will continue....

It was on sale and I paid about $8.90 for that jar. If you travel to Taiwan, they have a lot more varieties and cheaper too.

I believe I have tasted those San Moulin mochi mini breads before and they are delicious! Yeah, got to get and try out that recipe too! Looking forward to your mochi bread post!<br /><br />Thanks so much HHB! Hahaha, it's actually me stealing their idea, lol! My sister introduce this mochi bun to me from crystal jade. The bun was heavenly but the only flaw was too much mochi and not enough red bean paste. :P Anyway, I like my version better.

Try it and let me know yah!<br /><br />Thanks Quinn! Nah! I doubt I will win...the other contestants are good! Anyway I made this is not to enter the contest, but to keep my word on making something matcha after reading your blog. So no worries!

But have to portion correctly, not too much mochi, else not enough filling will not be nice. <br /><br />Thanks so much Wendy!<br /><br />No worries Catty! I knew I did not make it for the contest. But I did tell my fellow blogger Quinn that I will make something Matcha too, so I can't go back on my word. :)I am a lady of my words, lol!
