Notes
- When the wagashi is boiled, it becomes very soft, so care should be taken when taking it out.
- You can adjust the sauce as necessary. These measurements will give you a thick sauce that is not drippy.
- The beer batter used for this recipe is the same one used for these beer-battered shrimp
- Khebab or Kykyinga in Ghana refers to skewers of tender beef, goat meat, or pork seasoned with khebab/suya powder and then grilled over charcoal to produce mouthwatering sticks of meat. Extremely peppery and worth every bite.
