Directions
Mochi, Sticky, chewy mochi Taiwanese/Japanese style. All you need is a microwave! Recipe can be multiplied, but I usually just make a small batch., yummy, very sticky, but manageable. only makes about 6-7 smallish mochi, so if you’ve bothered to make a kilo/2lbs of red bean paste, you’re going to need to multipy the recipe considerably!! also, i only needed to stir the dough for about 30 seconds til the lumps were gone. i only microwaved for 2.5 minutes and kneaded the dough for 2 minutes (wrap the ziploc bag containing the hot dough in a towel to be able to start kneading straight away). greased scissors or knife is a MUST. also, i filled mine with homemade red bean paste (pretty good); others with flaked, roasted almonds and brown sugar, then rolled the balls in toasted sesame seeds… REALLY good! nice recipe, but quite a lot of work. the great thing is it’s cheap, fun, and you probably already have the ingredients at home :), easier than other recipes, but too sticky to fill and roll into balls…the only thing I could make out of it was to grease the scissors and just cut the dough into pieces.

While the Mochi Is Still Warm, Start Kneading. to Knead: Stretch and Flatten the Dough Inside the Bag With the Palm of Your Hand, Then Pick Up the Bag at One Corner, Shake It So That It Rolls Into a Ball Again, Then Repeat. You Can Also Knead It by Placing the Mochi Into a Greased Bowl, and Knead It as You Would a Normal Dough. Knead For About 7~10 Minutes, or to the Consistency (chewiness) You Want. |

to Prepare the Coating: Process the Peanuts in a Blender or Food Processor, and Spread the Powder Out in a Plate. Do not Add Sugar to the Coating! Because the Sugar Will Dissolve With the Moisture in the Mochi, Making It Super Sticky. |

Pull Off a Teaspoonful-Sized Mochi Ball With Your Hand, and Coat in Peanut Powder. Alternatively, If You Prepared It Inside a Bag, Cut Off a 1/4" Corner, and Squeeze from the Bag. Separate the Balls With Greased Scissors, or With Chopsticks =p. |
