Matcha Warabi Mochi
‘Warabi Mochi’ is made with ‘Warabi’ (Bracken) starch flour and it is similar to ‘Kuzu Mochi’ which is made with ‘Kuzu’ starch flour. Those rare starch flours are not available for many of us, even in Japan. People make these sweets using some substitutes such as Potato Starch, that is widely available. Today I added Matcha Powder to it. I like to eat these ‘Matcha Warabi Mochi’ with ‘Tsubu-an’ (Sweet Azuki Paste). You might be interested in ‘Vegetarian Matcha Jelly’, too.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Combine Potato Starch, Sugar and Matcha Powder in a saucepan. Add Warm Water and mix well. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until colour turns dark green and mixture is thick. Remove from the heat, but keep stirring for 20-30 seconds to let it firm up.
- 2
Alternatively you can cook in microwave in medium power. Cooking time depends on your machine. I set my machine at 600W, cook 2 minutes, STIR UP very well, then cook 1 to 1 & 1/2 minutes and stir well.
- 3
Prepare Water and Ice Cubes in a bowl. Using two wet spoons, drop 1 tablespoonful of the gooey paste-like mixture into the icy water. The mixture will instantly harden.
- 4
Once cold and firm, drain well, and place in a serving bowl. Enjoy with Kinako (Grourd Roasted Soy Beans) and Muscovado Syrup. I strongly recommend to enjoy Matcha Warabi Mochi with ‘Tsubu-an’ (Sweet Azuki Paste).

Strawberry Daifuku Japanese Dessert With Sakura-Mochi Skin Strawberry Daifuku Japanese Dessert With Sakura-Mochi Skin
I made sakura-mochi, so I made this strawberry daifuku as well.If you cook the skin too much, it becomes too dry and it does not make pretty creases. Be careful not to let it dry while cooling also! It will be better to have a little thickness as well since if it is too thin, it does not stand up. Recipe by BUNNYMOM -
Kinako Warabi Mochi Kinako Warabi Mochi
The warabi mochi I tasted in the deli section of a department store was delicious, but it was also expensive. So, I decided to make it myself!I used a warabi starch that was a blend of lotus root starch and bracken starch (5%) as pure warabi starch is expensive.If you like your mochi softer, add up to 130 ml of water. This will make it soft-set. Recipe by Harapekokuriro -
