Cooking Instructions
- 1
Wash the mochi sticky rice and white rice together. Add the water and red food coloring to turn the rice a pale pink. Soak the rice for 1-2 hours, then cook with the normal setting.
- 2
Rinse the pickled sakura blossoms briefly and then soak in water for a short time. If you don't have food coloring, cook the rice with this water. It will give the rice a slightly pink color.
- 3
Set aside 10 of the rinsed sakura blossoms. Combine the rest with the daikon radish sprouts and finely chop.
- 4
Mix the chopped cherry blossoms and daikon radish sprouts with the cooked rice. Shape into small rice balls and top with the cherry blossoms you set aside in Step 3. Enjoy.
