Equipment

  • 1 Mixing bowl

Ingredients

  • 1 cup water
  • 4 large egg
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon white vinegar
  • ½ tbsp granulated sugar
  • ¼ tbsp vegetable oil
  • tbsp ground black pepper
  • cup all purpose flour

Instructions

  • Add water to your pot and bring to boil. While waiting for the water to come to a rolling boil, crack two fresh eggs into separate bowls and begin beating.
  • Once boiling starts, stir vigorously until the mixture reaches 165℉ temperature. At this point, pour the hot water into a mixing bowl. Be sure not to add cold water because that could cause the eggs to curdle.
  • When the water is ready, slowly drop in the beaten eggs one at a time. Make sure to keep stirring constantly so that the eggs don’t stick together.
  • After adding the last egg, continue to mix the dough until it forms a sticky ball. If you let it sit too long before cooking, the balls won’t cook properly.
  • Remove the dough from the bowl and roll it into a rope about ¾ inch thick. Then cut the rope into equal pieces and place them onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
  • Now that everything is prepared, preheat the oven to 400℉. Cook the kohakutou for 15 minutes.
