HOW TO: MAKE MOCHI



How To: Make Mochi image

Mochi are sticky glutinous rice balls that are either coated in mixture of sugar, nuts and corn flour, or stuffed with fillings such as red bean paste, ice cream or custard. Making mochi is a fun weekend activity to share with the kids, as you can mould and stuff the rice balls with your favourite paste, before indulging in this bouncy, chewy snack. This time though, you don't have to eat it the traditional way -stuff it into a delicious crisp chewy cookie for extra indulgent fun too. If you're out of corn starch, simply replace it with twice the amount of tapioca starch or flour.

Yield Yields 11-12 balls

Number Of Ingredients 6

35 g glutinous rice flour
10 g corn flour/starch
8 g fine sugar
¼ + ¼ tsp sunflower oil
60 g water
plastic gloves

Steps:

  • Prepare mochi mixture. Add rice flour, corn flour, sugar, ¼ tsp oil and water, mix well and allow this mixture to rest for 30 minutes.
  • Steam mochi dough. Place the mixture in a steamer, cover with a clean cloth and steam for 15 minutes. Once the mixture is cooked, remove from steamer. Add in the remaining oil and mix well. Leave to cool.
  • Knead the mochi. Transfer the mixture out onto a wax-paper lined traywhen warm enough to handle. Knead and stretch until the mixture is smooth and elastic, about 6-8 mins. Place the mochi in a bowl, cover with cling wrap and rest in the refrigerator for 15 mins.

HOMEMADE MOCHI



Homemade Mochi image

Mochi, in its many forms, is a New Year's tradition in Japan. It is made with sticky rice and can be either sweet or savory. The great thing about mochi is you can prepare some of it sweet, then present a savory version with the remaining mochi the next day or even later the same night.

Provided by Food Network

Time 1h30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups (400 grams) Japanese short-grain sweet rice (aka sticky rice or glutinous rice; see Cook's Note)
Mochiko (sweet rice flour) or potato starch, for dusting
4 tablespoons miso
4 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons sake
Soy sauce, for brushing
2 tablespoons shichimi
12 to 15 strips nori (2-by-4-inch strips), for wrapping
1/4 cup kinako (roasted soybean powder)
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup adzuki paste (red bean paste; see Cook's Note), for topping

Steps:

  • For the mochi dough base: Wash the rice gently until the water runs clear, 5 to 8 times, then drain. Cook the rice with 2 1/2 cups water in a rice cooker according to the manufacturer directions for sushi/sweet rice, about 30 minutes.
  • Place the cooked rice in a wooden or stone bowl. (I don't recommend stainless steel or plastic bowls, which will make the rice wet or too soft.) Smash the rice with a thick wooden stick or pestle. Use your hands to turn the rice and continue to pound with the stick until it is a smooth and sticky dough, 6 to 8 minutes.
  • Portion out 20 to 24 mochi, about 2 tablespoons of dough per portion. Have a small bowl of water nearby to lightly wet hands if the dough is too sticky. Shape each portion into a round patty about 1 1/2 inches thick and dust each side of the mochi with mochiko or potato starch.
  • For the mochi toppings: To make a sweet miso sauce, combine the miso, sugar and sake in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is dissolved, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
  • Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Add your desired number of plain mochi and grill, brushing with soy sauce a couple of times on each side, until the mochi are caramelized, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
  • Brush some of the remaining plain mochi (reserve some of them to serve with the sweet toppings) with about 1 tablespoon of the sweet miso sauce and top with a sprinkle of shichimi. To serve the savory mochi, wrap the soy-grilled and sweet miso-glazed mochi in nori and place on a plate or platter.
  • For the sweet mochi toppings: Mix the kinako with the sugar in a small bowl. Dip to coat both sides of your desired number of mochi. Top each remaining plain mochi with adzuki paste, then sprinkle with the remaining kinako sugar, if desired. Serve on a plate or platter.
