Matcha Buns Recipe (with video)
Matcha Buns Recipe
After many years cooking, finally we learned how to make this perfect Matcha buns! We were wondering how we could reproduce my mother's soft buns but we have finally convinced ourselves that we are able to make these nostalgic buns and now with Matcha! Yesterday we made our Youtube video to share this recipe. Please visit us!
For this recipe, we strongly recommend you to use our CHLORELLA MATCHA and not normal Matcha. Because normal Matcha's color dies off if you cook at high heat. But Chlorella Matcha keeps vivid green color and it is really fun to cook with CHLORELLA MATCHA. The Matcha House's CHLORELLA MATCHA is 50% Chlorella and 50% Matcha. No additives, no artificial colors, it is 100% natural product.
Japanese buns are soft and have a mild sweetness. This buns also are bit sweet. So they are ideal for your breakfast or for your afternoon snacks. Please try this easy recipe and share your buns with your beloved ones!

Matcha blended with chlorella, a green alga that contains a high chlorophyll content, which gives a vivid green color to the culinary creations. 100% natural. At high heat, Matcha starts to die off, but due to chlorella, this retains Matcha's vibrant green color after baking. Suitable for most food applications. Actually this grade is used by a lot of bakery companies and food makers.
