The Hyōrogan (兵粮丸) rations from the Rodanshu (老談集), written in 1846 by Yamamoto Kansuke, was something that I had made back in 2013 when I was working in demolitions, and then in arbourism. The whole recipe cost about $100 CAD, stored like Timbits, and tasted rather decent. I had almost exclusively ate them for a month with little degradation to my physical performance.
The Recipe
- Hakurogan (White Pennisetum Alopeculoides)
- Glutinous Rice – 900ml
- Rice – 900ml
- Lotus Pips – 15g
- Japanese Yam – 15g
- Cinnamon – 15g
- Coix Seed – 15g
- Asiatic Ginseng – 15ml
- Crystallized Sugar – 900g
Mix the above with water and kneed well and steam in a basket steamer. Make small balls and consume five to seven of these a day. It is also beneficial to give them to horses.
