Today, I'm going to share with you one of traditional desserts of Southern Fukuoka, which is my hometown. She sometimes made this local dessert, goroshi (ごろし). This is not famous local cuisine, so I think that most Japanese people don't know what goroshi is and even have never hard of it unless they are elderly people who live in Southern Fukuoka. Even though my husband also grew up in Southern Fukuoka, he didn't know what goroshi is.
Goroshi is local dessert made with flour and water. It's long and flat dessert often coated with kinako (きなこ, きな粉), Japanese roasted soybean flour. It tastes similar to abekawa mochi I shared with you in my previous entry, but goroshi is not sticky at all. It's more like noodles than mochi.
I also love goroshi with sweet soy sauce, which is called sato joyu (砂糖醤油) in Japan. It tastes like mitarashi sauce (みたらし), but sato joyu is not thick at all. It's simply made with sugar and soy sauce. My husband also loved groshi with sweet soy sauce. :)
Today, I'm going to share how to make goroshi with you. It's pretty easy to make, so I hope you can try it. :)
