I’ve been wanting to make mochi a long long time but never get to do it. Finally, few weeks ago, I did it. It’s so easy!
Ingredients:
2 cups of glutinous flour
2 cups of water
2 tablespoons of sugar
Sesame seeds/dessicated coconut/anything that can avoid the mochi sticking to each other (no specific measurement, for coating)
Instructions:
1. Mix glutinous flour and water well.
2. Place it in microwavable container covering the top of the container.
3. Microwave on HIGH (900 Watt) for 4 minutes.
4. Leave it cool for a bit.
5. Roll into ball and coat it with sesame. Do it as fast as you can. The longer it takes the harder it is to shape it into a ball.
Tips: Use plastic knife or spoon cut or scoop the mochi to avoid sticking.
Variations:
Green tea mochi: Mix one teaspoon of green tea powder to make green tea mochi.
Red bean paste mochi: Fill the mochi with red bean paste.
Just be creative! Experiment!
