One of my hubby's lunch at school. He gave me an idea, since I'm planning to just boil all the sweet potatoes we've bought the other day. Now I'm giving it some twist.

Ishigaki Mochi is one of Japanese confections and a local sweet of Oita Prefecture. (we lived in Saiki, Oita)
Ishigaki means the stone wall.
This shape looks like stone wall, so they call it "Ishigaki Mochi."

Put a handful into the paper and put it in the steamer.

Steam it for 20 minutes over high heat.
