Simple Mochi Recipe
Ingredients:
1 cup Mochiko (sweet rice flour or Mochi flour) (160g)
3/4 cup water (180ml)
2 cups sugar (400g)
cornstarch
Anko (sweet red bean paste) or Ice Cream or any fruit you like (mince nicely)
1 teaspoon color powder (optional) since the original color is white ^^
Methods:
- Mix Mochiko, color powder (optional)and water in a glass (or other heat proof) bowl and mix well. Add some more water if it's too dry, 1 Tbsp at a time.
- Steam the Mochiko dough (leaving the dough in the bowl) in a steamer for 20 minutes.
- Transfer the steamed Mochi into a pot and cook at medium to medium low heat with 1/3 of the sugar (2/3 cup). When the sugar is completely dissolved, add another 1/3 of the sugar and mix well.
- Add the last part of the sugar and cook some more until the sugar is dissolved. Take the time to melt the sugar, but be careful not to burn it.
- Take the hot Mochi out from the pot onto a sheet pan liberally dusted with cornstarch. Shape as you like.
- Serve it with hot tea..(recommend green tea)..Enjoy your high tea @@
