I was trying to come up with ways to use mochi cakes, and this is what I created.The baking time in your toaster oven will probably be different from mine, so please check on the gratin while it's cooking and adjust the time.I think you can use any number of additional ingredients besides the mochi. Try with whatever you have in your refrigerator. Recipe by Minaichigo

We make this in a large quantity for New Years and share it.I thought of this as a way to use up white mochi, and ever since, this dish has been a major dish in our household.For our microwave, 2 1/2-3 minutes at 500 W is just about right, but you may want to adjust accordingly to your household's microwave. For 1 serving. Recipe by MyT09

I received a lot of sweet potatoes.You can steam the sweet potato in Step 2. The mashed sweet potato has to be hot enough to melt cheese in Step 4, so warm it up if it cools. Recipe by Mana mama

I've posted this recipe here because these daikon mochi were so well-received.I'm going to keep on experimenting with different ratios and/or measurements of the flour and katakuriko, or try mixing in other ingredients.I wonder how they'll turn out if I use joshinko or shiratamako.Maybe you should keep some liquid from the radish in case you need to adjust its firmness later.I've written to steam-fry over low heat to make them soft (so that they're edible for toddlers), but they'll also turn out amazing if you fry them over medium low heat until they're nice and crispy.

When I was small, my mother used to make this for me whenever it was the mochi pounding season.This dish is like mixing mochi into a heavily seasoned cabbage stir-fry with lots of soup.The key is to use a substantial amount of oil. Recipe by Yomoya

We just finished pounding mochi, and tried eating it like this for lunch and it was delicious.If you have just-pounded fresh mochi, tear it up with your hands and arrange it on the place. If you have grilled mochi, dip it in hot water and then arrange it on the plate. Recipe by meg115

There are a lot of recipes out there for "daikon radish mochi" but they usually seem to be savory rather than sweet, and often with some things mixed into the dough.I didn't know that, so I've been making mochi by mixing daikon radish and katakuriko, and eating it with sugar-soy sauce. I think the brown sugar flavored filling counteracts the odor of the daikon radish.They say that the liquid in grated daikon radish has some nutrients too, so let's use it with the grated radish.The texture of the dough will vary depending on how much liquid is in the daikon radish, so please adjust accordingly.

I love the Chinese dim sum's daikon mochi! Here's my version (attempt?) of daikon mochi.

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. I love it even more than I like mochi cakes in soup.You don't have to wrap the mochi cakes in nori seaweed, and you only need 1 plate. This is easy, so you can have mochi even in the morning.In addition, by using plastic wrap the mochi won't get stuck to the plate, so cleanup is easy. Recipe by yakopuyo

My mother-in-law taught me this recipe for when you need to use up leftover mochi.Try wrapping the entire piece of mochi in cheese! Recipe by Pukupukuko

I had these potato mochi at a friend's house, and tried to replicate them and came up with this recipe. I based this on the popular method using katakuriko.Although it is time consuming, the texture of the potato is best when strained through a sieve. Add milk until it reaches a cream-like consistency, then add just enough katakuriko to make them firm enough to shape into balls. If you use tapioca powder instead, they will become even springy and chewier. Recipe by MsX

I made these for New Years, and everyone from the kids to my elderly grandparents loved them. These are great because they can be made whenever you feel like it, without taking much time, and can be made simply in the microwave. I think these would be really welcomed by the elderly as a Valentine's Day gift.The mochi dough is on the soft side, so if it's hard to handle, leave to cool down for 1-2 minutes. The dumplings should be on the small side, for a better flavor and texture balance. In step 3, you can blend the filling ingredients in a food processor. Please adjust the microwave time depending on your microwave oven. For 11-13 portions. Recipe by miyuki12
