Cooking Instructions
- 1
Rinse the rice, and soak in water overnight or for half a day.
- 2
Drain the rice into a sieve.

Put the water-saturated mochi rice - 1 rice cooker cup's worth, about 220 g - in a bag and freeze. This is the storage stage done.

How to cook the mochi: Put the frozen rice and 100 ml of water in a blender, and puree for 2 to 3 minutes until liquid. It will still be a little grainy.

It looks like this.
- 6
Put the pureed rice liquid in a heatproof bowl, cover with plastic wrap and microwave for 2 minutes at 730W.
- 7
Microwave for another minute. If it's translucent it's done. Try a bit, and if the rice grains are still hard microwave for another minute. Done.

Enjoy with kinako (toasted soy bean flour), sesame seeds, anko sweet bean paste and so on.

This is kagami-mochi, kind of. (Kagami mochi is a New Year's decoration.) This is just the right size to top with a kumquat.

Easy Sakura-mochi using a Rice Cooker Easy Sakura-mochi using a Rice Cooker
This is my mum's way of making these.Take a tiny bit of the food colouring on the tip of a toothpick. Adjust the colour by adding it little by little to create a very pale pink colour. Before cooking the rice, stir well to distribute the colouring evenly. More sugar helps preserve the moistness of the sakura-mochi. Chill the adzuki bean paste in the fridge. It's easier to handle or shape when chilled. Measure exact tablespoons of adzuki bean paste for quick measuring and suitable amounts. Scoop the bean paste with a spoon, wrap it in the mochi rice, then wrap each in a cherry leaf. This should be done in one go. Store the leftover adzuki bean paste in a plastic bag in the freezer; flatten it and score with lines to separate into tablespoon portions. Freeze it until required. Break off only as much as you need. Recipe by happyblessing

Easy Ohagi Rice Cakes Made with Pre-Cut Mochi and Rice Easy Ohagi Rice Cakes Made with Pre-Cut Mochi and Rice

Soft Milk Mochi With Rice Bran Soft Milk Mochi With Rice Bran
I love milk mochi, so I made this variation using rice bran. Incidentally, you can get the same amount of vitamin B in 2 teaspoons of rice bran, as you can from 1 bowl of brown rice. This is a perfect way to include some rice bran in your diet. It was also popular with the kids.I recommend this for rice bran novices, as you can't really taste it after the mochi has been coated with kinako and brown sugar. Now, there is no vitamin C in rice bran, so it would be even better if you add matcha or green barley, or serve it with some fruit. Recipe by miyuki12 -
