Cooking Instructions
- 1
You just need to use a kitchen scale and a heatproof container. Add the ingredients in the listed order. The dough is made in the microwave, at 600 W.
- 2
Divide the koshi-an into 6 portions. If you measure the anko so that each portion weighs 20 g, the finished mochi cake will be just the right size.
- 3
These photo only show 5 -- they're from when I wanted to try making it with 5 big pieces, but the mochi cakes were too big and not very cute, so I'd stick with 6!
- 4
Put the shiratamako and 50 ml of water in a heatproof container, and mix well. Add the remaining 50 ml of water and white sugar, and mix again.
- 5
Microwave for 1 minute. The perimeters of the dough will thicken first. Mix the whole thing up well with a sturdy spoon or wooden spatula.
- 6
Microwave for another minute. The dough will thicken quite a bit. Mix again (or rather, knead it). It will be very sticky.
- 7
Microwave for another minute, and knead again. It will have a mochi-like consistency at this stage.
- 8
Add the mizuame, and microwave for 40 seconds. Knead. It will be shiny and mochi-like. The dough is now finished.
- 9
Use the uguisu flour as the dusting flour. Don't use too much or it will go to waste. Just use enough.
- 10
(There's too much uguisu flour in the photo!! Just dust the dough lightly so that it doesn't stick to your hands!!)
- 11
Dust a shallow tray lightly with the uguisu flour, and put the cooked mochi dough onto it. Divide the mochi into 6 portions.
- 12
Press the mochi out thin, top with a ball of the koshi-an, and close it up. Don't worry if some of the uguisu flour gets inside.
- 13
Once the mochi is closed, place it on top of the uguisu flour like this, then place the cake in a No. 6 aluminium cupcake cup.
- 14
Dust with some more uguisu flour using a tea strainer to finish.

Umagae Mochi Umagae Mochi
My friends gave me a rough re-telling of this recipe and after a few tries I finally arrived at a recipe that I think works well. There may be a few people who can slightly taste the tofu but I can't tell it's in there at all.As long as you have the ingredients, you can whip these snacks up very quickly. You can also cook them on a hot plate. We always use soft tofu but you can use firm or silken tofu, whichever you like.After a little while these snacks may stick together so it's better to wrap them in cling film and keep them separately. You can freeze them this way too.Give them a quick warming in the toaster oven before serving. Recipe by cook_U -
