Easy Ohagi Rice Cakes (Mochi) using Leftover Rice 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 cookpad.japan -
Easy and Chewy Rice Flour Roll Cake (with 3 Ingredients) Easy and Chewy Rice Flour Roll Cake (with 3 Ingredients)
I've recently gotten into making sweets with rice four. I bought a new roll cake pan and I wanted to try.If you wrap the cake tightly with plastic wrap after baking, the surface will come off when you remove the plastic wrap, but it's prettier this way. If the surface is not moist, the cake will absorb the moisture from the cream, and the cream will be reduced when you eat it. It will look rather sad (cries). Recipe by Asamato cookpad.japan -

Super Easy! Chewy Rice Flour Banana Cake Super Easy! Chewy Rice Flour Banana Cake
I came up with a simple cake! Since it uses rice flour, you don't need a sieve or a rubber spatula!Ripened bananas will not only taste great, but they'll be easier to mash.It would look extravagant when baked in a muffin tin or if you double the amount and bake it in a square pan. If you have an extra banana, I recommend you slice it and top the cake with it. Recipe by Tsumutan cookpad.japan -
Butter-Free Rice Cooker Chocolate Cake Butter-Free Rice Cooker Chocolate Cake
Because this "Butter-Free Sweet Potato Rice Cooker Cake" was so easy but delicious, I tried it with a chocolate flavor!I added a little yogurt to make it less dry. The cake turned out to be moist and I am very proud of this recipe.The number of times you press "Cook" until the cake is done may vary depending on your rice cooker. Please adjust it accordingly.This cake is very moist, so when you check with a bamboo skewer, it may come out with some crumby dough, but if it's not too moist and sticky, it's ok. For 1 cake baked in a 3-rice-cooker-cup capacity rice cooker). Recipe by Kaeha cookpad.japan -
Walnut Raisin Rice Cake 호두 건포도 찰떡 Walnut Raisin Rice Cake 호두 건포도 찰떡
WALNUT RAISIN RICE CAKEA version recipe of mine based from a mistake, but it turned out so good!The mistake was that I confused the package of rice flour, to glutinous rice flour! 🤣 My supposedly, dried fruit and nuts rice bread turned into an Asian rice cake which happened to be something similar to the popular traditional treat called Yongyang Chaltteok 🤯! What a splendid happy accident this is!I made this using an oven (cause I thought I was making bread!), but the Korean way is to steam this treat. Do whatever you think is more convenient for you 😉.This recipe is gluten free, and perfect for Keto and Type O diet.Tools needed:* if for oven: 3x5" loaf pan* if for steamer large plate, or bowl than can fit your steamer* baking paper The MissFix -
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 cookpad.japan -

Adzuki & Sesame Seed Japanese Style Cake in the Rice Cooker Adzuki & Sesame Seed Japanese Style Cake in the Rice Cooker
This is the third cake I've tried in the food processor and rice cooker. I thought it would be nice to make a slightly Japanese-tasting cake this time.This recipe just relies on the food processor and rice cooker so it's very simple. You can also use normal canned adzuki beans. Cooking time and number of times you have to switch it back on will vary depending on rice cooker so please check on the cake yourself and decide when the rice cooker needs switching off. Sesame paste can separate so please mix it in thoroughly. Apart from that there are no other tricks, it's just a very easy cake. Recipe by Kaeha cookpad.japan
