• 3 Beaten Eggs
• 60g Sugar

2.  Put the hot water into a bowl and place another bowl over it. Add the beaten egg while filtering, then add sugar and mix until all of the sugar has melted.
   ※Be careful to only slightly mix, so as to not let in air.
3.  Put the melted chocolate into another bowl, add the eggs and mix, add the sifted matcha and cornstarch, and mix well.
4. Pour the dough into a mold with non-stick baking paper and drop it from a height of about 3 cm 2-3 times to remove the air. Then use a bamboo skewer to eliminate small bubbles.
