Chewy Mochi-like Tofu
One day I came home late from work, and stared at a tofu that was in the fridge. And I was like, "What can I make from this? Deep fried tofu? I can't be bothered with deep frying... so can I make something simple?" So I make this, and it was amazingly delicious. So it's now become a family favorite for when we need one extra dish on the dining table.
Work quickly once you add the mentsuyu!!
You can just eyeball the ingredient quantities! Recipe by Kuiishinbouneko

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Cut the tofu into easy to eat pieces, about 1 to 1.5 cm thick, and microwave for 2 minutes. Or, use tofu that you've already drained.
- 2
Coat both sides of the tofu pieces with katakuriko (if you let them cool down after taking them out of the microwave, they are less likely to fall apart).
- 3
Heat sesame oil in a frying pan and put the tofu in.
- 4
Pan fry both sides over medium heat until golden brown.
- 5
When browned, pour in some mentsuyu. Now work fast!
- 6
Move the frying pan in a circular motion to coat the tofu with the sauce. The sauce will thicken up about this much (see photo). Turn off the heat and it's done!
- 7
Believe me, it tastes better than it looks!! If you have some time, after Step 6 you may want to turn the tofu over, but be gentle since they tend to fall apart very easily.

Chewy Daikon Mochi Chewy Daikon Mochi
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.

This is a variation of "Okara Mochi with Rice Bran"using tofu.

Chewy Okara Adzuki Mochi Chewy Okara Adzuki Mochi
Here's a recipe to make Japanese sweets with canned adzuki and okara. I'm so hooked on this since it's so easy and chewy like daifuku.Adjust the amount of milk depending on the water content of the okara and the canned aduki beans. For best results, refer to the photo from Step 1. It should be slightly runny rather than too dry.Because my microwave is old, I had to heat it for 4 minutes. Start from 3 minutes and extend as necessary. The surface should be white, but not wet when touched.I used sweetened canned aduki beans. When using non-sweetened beans, add sugar to your liking.

Sticky and Chewy Kashiwa Mochi 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 -

Make Chewy Bread with Mochi Make Chewy Bread with Mochi
We received a bunch of mochi for my daughters first birthday and I cut it up and then left it in the freezer for ages. To be honest, I don't really like mochi, but it's considered lucky so it didn't seem right to throw it away.Then I saw a recipe that involved kneading cooked rice into bread dough so I thought, maybe you can make bread with mochi too!?After heating and melting the mochi, add water back to the mix to bring it to 220 g. A lot of water is lost in the heating process.Every oven is different and has it's own quirks, so please adjust this recipe based on how you know your oven works. The information here is just how it works best in my oven. Recipe by Chibato
