It is different from ordinary rice that is usually eaten as steamed rice with dishes such as Japanese curry rice. Comparing those two different type of rice — ordinary rice, which is called Uruchimai Uruchi rice is translucent whereas the glutinous rice is white and opaque. But the big difference is the type of starch it contains. Ordinary rice contains amylose and amylopectin but glutinous contains amylopectin only that makes the glutinous rice really sticky.
Glutinous rice is widely distributed in Southeast Asia and East Asia including Japan, where there is a habit of eating glutinous rice. So it is available from Japanese or Asian grocery stores. If you cannot access those grocery stores, It is available from online stores.
Japanese mochi is typically made in two days. On day one, wash the rice and let it soak overnight. If you are going to make mochi in the traditional Japanese way, you need a wooden mortar and wooden pestles.
Those Mochitsuki glutinous rice pounding pieces of equipment need to be soaked in water too to prevent the wooden equipment from cracking or the rice sticking to the equipment. On the second day, steam the rice and pound the mochi dough. Then shape the dough while it is hot. Traditional method with a Bamboo Steamer — line the steamer bottom with a tightly squeezed wet kitchen cloth.
Drain the water and spread the rice over the lined steamer. Place the steamer over a pot of boiling water and steam it for minutes. Instant pot — Add 2 cups of water in your instant pot and place steaming trivet provided with instant pot inside the inner pot.
Place a bowl, lined with a tightly squeezed wet cloth with rice over it, on top of the trivet. Put the lid on making sure the steam releasing valve is in the sealing position. Rice Cooker — Some rice cookers have a special function to cook sweet rice to make Sekihan or rice with other grains. Traditional method with wooden mortar and pestle — Discard the soaking water that you prepared the night before and fill the mortar with hot water while the rice is being steamed.
Once the rice is steamed, empty the hot water which warmed the mortar, and place the steamed glutinous rice into the mortar. Using your body weight, press down on the rice with the pestle. Keep pounding the rice shifting and turning around with wet hands to pound evenly.
When the mochi dough becomes a smooth texture, it is done. Steam the rice using whichever of the above methods, place the steamed rice into the machine, put lid on and press knead and set for minutes. Freshly made mochi is so delicious served up on its own. You can dip the mochi into sugary soy powder Kinako or you can serve it with grated Daikon and soy sauce. Also, accompany with Anko sweet azuki bean paste or wrap a ball of sweet red bean paste with mochi. They are all good to serve with Hojicha and Matcha Latte too.
Kagami mochi is two-tiered large and small round rice cakes decorated with bitter orange. Often made for a deity offering of new years. Very easy to make. Side note: the mochi dough is SUPER sticky, so be sure to prepare your surface and hands with startch before making the balls. Otherwise, very yummy and easy and fun! Read More. Most helpful critical review Katrina. Rating: 3 stars. Hi everyone, thank you so much for the feedback.
Some reviewers are correct; I have made a mistake and the flour should be glutinous rice flour which can also be called Mochiko. Also, the green tea powder is optional as is freezing the red bean paste. Freezing the red bean paste just makes the process less messy. For the cooking time, one can lower it to 3 minutes and add 15 seconds at a time until the dough looks slightly translucent.
However, be sure to keep the plastic wrap on for at least 3 minutes to keep the moisture in. I'm sorry for all the mistakes but I am looking into correcting the recipe soon. Reviews: Most Helpful. Rating: 4 stars. Similar to a recipe on RecipeZaar - I didn't have the matcha and the other recipe doesn't call for it so I made it without.
I've made it twice experimenting with the microwave time - ours seems to heat things faster than others. You can also switch up the fillings. The red bean paste is our favorite but we make due with what we have. Solution for getting the mochi into balls is to put the batch on plastic wrap dusted with potato or tapioca cornstarch works too starch.
Get some starch on one hand put a cut piece into that hand spoon in the filling and pinch up the sides with the not-so-dusted hand. Keeps for a day or two in tightly sealed container lined with parchment paper. The pudding ones should be eaten almost right away. Thank you Katrina for sharing! Kaarina Wirkki.
Super good. Super simple. Just beware of burning your hands with the hot mochi mix. I used bean paste out of a pouch and didn't need to freeze it; worked perfectly. Mark Lee. Simply put, ice cream mochi is a Japanese dessert consisting of a ball of ice cream surrounded by a sweet and sticky rice dough. Trust me, when I first heard about it, I was a bit skeptical. I mean, how good can sticky rice dough really be? I am pleased to inform you that it is, by far, one of the best desserts I have ever had.
I would eat it every day if I could. But mochi is often pretty expensive when store-bought and way over-priced in restaurants. To enjoy mochi as much as I wanted without going completely broke, I knew I wanted to make my own mochi from a recipe. So when I found this particular one, I knew I had to make it immediately. The fact that I could personalize it to taste exactly the way I wanted it to I just couldn't wait to get started.
