Who doesn’t love mochi? If you’ve never had it, you’re missing out. My favorite is the traditional red bean paste mochi. I used to buy them in the 6 pack all the time when I lived near a Chinatown but since I moved to a smaller town, no Chinatown so no mochis. That was a sad day. I finally decided after craving it for a long time and can’t get to Chinatown that’s I’d try to make it myself. OH MY GOD, why did I wait so long to make it at home?! It was so easy and tastes just like it came from those bakeries. I’m in Heaven now. Mochi recipe: 3/4 c of sweet rice flour 1/4 c of sugar Pinch of salt 3/4 c of sweetened red bean paste. Make 6 round balls of red bean paste and set aside. Combine the 1st three ingredients and stir in a microwaveable glass bowl. Add 1/2 c of water and stir. Put a Saran Wrap on it and leave a small gap for the steam to come out. Microwave for 1 minute. Take out and stir with wooden spoon. Microwave for 1 more minute and stir. Put any starch (cornstarch or potato starch) on a wooden board. Dump the heated mochi on the board and roll into a log. Cut into 6 pieces. Flatten into a disc and place red bean paste ball in the center and wrap and seal it. Slightly flatten it. All done. Eat and enjoy!
