Gooey and Soft Kashiwa Mochi Made Easily in a Microwave
cookpad.japan @cookpad_jp
I wanted to have soft and just-made kashiwa mochi on Children's Day.
Using joshinko flour does makes tasty kashiwa mochi, but the shiratamako flour gives a more gooey texture. You can increase the amount of shiratamako flour up to 50%, but the amount of water will change. Adjust the amount of water as you knead.
I wrote down every step carefully, so you might think there are a lot of things to do, but basically mix the ingredients evenly and microwave! They are not so sweet regularly, so if you want to have sweeter ones, add sugar in 5 g increments. I knead the dough during Step 6 for about 1 minute. For making 5 to 6 (when you use joshinko only).

- 1
Shape the aduki bean paste into 20 g balls. Rinse the kashiwa leaves and drain well.
- 2
Put the dry ingredients into a heatproof bowl and mix with a balloon whisk. Add the lukewarm water little by little and mix with your hands. Adjust the amount of water as you go.
- 3
After bringing together to make the dough, cover with cling film. Heat in a 600w microwave for 1 minute.
- 4
Knead the dough well. It is very hot at first, so use a rolling pin to knead. After a while, you can switch to your hands.
- 5
Because it's still hot, moisten your hands, make a fist, and knead the dough until evenly kneaded. Heat in a microwave for 2 minutes and knead again. Heat for another minute.
- 6
Knead until you obtain the softness you like (not too soft). For kusa mochi, after heating for 2.5 minutes, mix in dried yomogi leaves.
- 7
In this photo, I made 5 kashiwa mochi because I had about 200 g of mochi dough. Divide into 40 g portions with a bench scraper. Stretch the portioned dough into a flat oval shape with moistened hands.
- 8
Place the adzuki bean paste onto the bottom half and press the paste gently according to the dough shape, leaving the mochi dough uncovered around the edge.
- 9
Fold the upper half onto the adzuki bean paste to cover and seal the joint by pinching with your fingers.
- 10
It is done! Repeat this process for the rest of the prepared mochi dough and adzuki bean paste.
- 11
I recommend heating in a microwave for about 10 seconds before eating. If you don't plan to eat them straight away, wrap each one of them with cling film and keep at room temperature. Eat as soon as possible.

Easy Kusa-Mochi in the Microwave
This is kusa-mochi made with yomogi, a plant that can only be eaten fresh at this time of year. I found some soft yomogi down by the river and it made me want to make these.Fresh yomogi is very delicious but for those who feel uncomfortable picking it (there is a poisonous plant that looks very similar) or can't get hold of it, you can buy it safely by mail order.

Sticky and Chewy Kashiwa Mochi
This kashiwa mochi has a chewy texture with the shiratamako and joshinko. I wanted to make the kashiwa mochi my Grandma used to make for me a long time ago!When you are stretching the dough, if you don't wet your hands, it will stick to your hands. But if you wet your hands too much, the red bean paste will absorb the moisture and become too soft. In that case, it will fall out of its wrap later on, so be careful. This rice cake is very sticky, so thinly grease the oak leaves with vegetable oil before wrapping. It will be easier to remove the leaves when you eat it. For 7 pieces. Recipe by Kkmamacchi
So Soft Buttered Mochi
I usually pound mochi rice to make it, but I tried using cut mochi this time to simplify things a bit. Since I've discovered I could use cut mochi to make spongy buttered mochi, here's the recipe for you to try!I recommend you soften the store-bought mochi decently before mixing because it's quite sticky. Use homemade mochi or Japanese rice mochi for the best results.It's really soft when it's done, so please chill in the fridge (or in the freezer if you're rushing) before slicing. Take care to coat the sliced surfaces of the mochi so they don't stick together! Recipe by Rei no oryouri

Microwave-Easy Kinako "Uirō" Mochi
Kinako uirō was very popular at my workplace, so I created this recipe.-The necessary ingredients are the ones marked ◎. This time, to bring out the sweetness and chewy texture, I made it with salt and potato starch flour. If you don't add them, the mochi will be firm.-There are 3 main points. 1) Mix very well. (More than just stirring well, stir until there is no flouriness left in the mixture). 2) Strain the mixture when pouring it into the container. (This is to improve the texture when you eat it. Remove lumps that were not broken up by stirring) 3) Do not overcook the mochi. (This is because the residual heat in the mochi will continue to cook it after it's been taken out of the microwave). Recipe by .M.
Cheese Mochi in the Microwave
When we eat mochi for New Years, I always make it like this.My mother used to make it for me when I was a child.

Spring Sakura Mochi in the Microwave
I made some salted sakura blossoms, so I made some sakura mochi. They came out beautifully and were delicious, and I was completely satisfied with how they turned out. Right after making these, I made 2 more batches to give as gifts. My friends were so happy.If serving the next day, place the somewhat hardened mochi into the microwave for 20-30 seconds.If there is too much excess moisture from the store bought koshi-an, cook it in a frying pan to evaporate the moisture. Then cover with a little bit of katakuriko. Or you can wait until it hardens a little, which will make it easier to form the shapes.If you want to be able to see the sakura blossoms even more, fold the sakura into the mochi first, and then spread out the mochi one more time.

Easy Microwave-Made Soy Milk Warabi Mochi
Last year, one of my coworkers told me how delicious soy milk warabi mochi is. I made my own original recipe using a microwave. I also thought of many different flavor profiles to go with it and when I tried brown sugar syrup and soybean flour, the flavor was a big success!Since it's made with soy milk, these dumplings turn out so, so creamy. Since this recipe won't heat up the kitchen, you can enjoy chilled warabi mochi during summer. If you chill them in the refrigerator for a long time, they'll tend to harden, so I recommend chilling them in ice water and serving them immediately. For 4 servings. Recipe by Okaraseijin

Old Fashioned Bean Mochi (Made in a Mochi Machine)
If using a cake box in Step 12, line the box with plastic wrap.I learned most of my mochi recipes from my aunt.Use a small amount of water when steaming, since you will dampen your hands when mixing in the beans.To prevent the mochi from becoming too sticky, shake off the excess water from your hands when mixing.I used a flat lid for the mochi machine, but an oblong semi-cylindrical lid would also work well.

I created this recipe while I was in the middle of making Yukimi Daifuku-like ice cream. I asked a friend to taste it, and she gave me the thumbs up, so I decided to upload the recipe.If it's completely frozen, the ice-cold mochi melts in your mouth.If it's partially frozen, the mochi and bean paste ice cream come together in perfect harmony.If it's melted, it's basically mochi coated with bean paste cream, which is also great.Tip: Try to roll out the dough thinly in Step 7. Try as hard as you can not to expose it to air while it's freezing. Recipe by Jun13
Kinako Mochi Chocolate
I love Tirol's "kinako mochi" chocolates, so I wanted to make them by myself.The mochi will turn out springier if you replace 5 g of shiratamako with 5 g of cornstarch, but work with the consistency that you like best. You will probably have a bit leftover mochi. I recommend you to eat it up or you can wrap it in plastic wrap and keep it in the fridge (for about 2 days). For 6 pieces, each using a 10 ml mold.

Okaki (Deep Fried) Crackers Made with Pre-Cut Mochi
I created this recipe to enjoy leftover mochi. I added a small amount of sugar, and made it sweet and salty.When mochi contains a lot of water, oil will splatter while deep-frying, so dry it for 5~7 days if you can. I used smooth table salt instead of coarse salt, but you should adjust the seasoning to your liking. For with 5 pre-cut mochi squares. Recipe by Raby

I love regular mochi, but I thought I could get an even chewier texture with taro root potatoes. As expected, they turned out great! They're also delicious coated in kinako powder.Be careful not burn yourself when peeling off the skins! When forming the mixture into patties, if it's too sticky, dampen your hands lightly in water. Cooking them in a liberal amount of oil will give them a nice golden color and will enhance the taste, too! Recipe by Mhimawari
