Easy Ohagi Rice Cakes (Mochi) using Leftover Rice
I used to always toss out leftover rice, so I thought of a way to use it.
In Step 2, I wrapped a rolling pin in plastic wrap, then crushed the rice grains.
In Step 6, if you wear plastic gloves, your hands will not get sticky. If you store them in the refrigerator, microwave for a minute at 500W for a delicious texture akin to sesame dumplings. Consume the same day. Recipe by xlyumilx

Strawberry Ohagi Rice Cakes Strawberry Ohagi Rice Cakes
This is for my children, who love strawberry daifuku. Whenever I make ordinary ohagi rice cakes, I make these too.- Small, round and not so sour strawberries are good for this recipe. I often use saga-honoka, beni hoppe or amaou strawberries.- Make sure to wrap the bean paste or dough thinly. Otherwise, it will turn into a massive rice cake. - Refer to "My Precious Ohagi"to see how to make the bean paste filling, etc. The amount of rice is more than usual because you're using it to make ohagi. If you reduce the amount, it will be difficult to cook in the rice cooker. If you use it all for strawberry ohagi, it should make around 30. Recipe by Keyua -
Easy Sakura Mochi (Cherry Blossom Rice Cake) from Cooked Rice Easy Sakura Mochi (Cherry Blossom Rice Cake) from Cooked Rice
I have learned how to make sakura mochi, but I didn't have rice flour, domyoji flour, or a cherry blossom leaf...I wanted to make a sakura mochi easily, so I came up with this recipe.-A little amount of the red food colouring is enough to turn the rice pink, so don't add too much. If you add too much, the rice turns red.-A pinch of salt gives the rice a salty kick, and it will taste like the authentic sakura mochi. If you don't have the salted cherry blossom leaf, add little more salt in the rice to adjust the taste. I taste the mixture at the Step 3, and adjust the taste to my liking. Recipe by Marrietty -

White Sakura Mochi (Cherry Blossom Rice Cakes) White Sakura Mochi (Cherry Blossom Rice Cakes)
My hometown area has a tradition of making sakura mochi with glutinous rice, not with Domyoji rice flour. We cook the rice in a rice cooker so it is very easy. I made white sakura mochi without colouring and put cherry blossom flavored adzuki bean paste inside, and they turned out very elegantly. You can make ohagi in this way as well. This is a fool-proof recipe!The key to this recipe is to gently crush the rice grains after the rice is cooked, to create the mochi's thick texture. It will be quite hot, so make sure to moisten your hands and work quickly so that you don't burn yourself. To colour the mochi, add a little food colouring at step 2 with a toothpick. It will look pretty. For making 8. Recipe by Toiroiro -
