We always have leftover mochi cake after New Year's... so I transformed them into my daughter's favorite daifuku.Answering my daughter's plea for "I want to eat a big daifuku!" I usually make one daifuku per mochi cake, but two small ones are cute and easy to eat.Adjust the microwave cooking time.You can wrap anything you like in the mochi, not just anko. For 1 to 2 dumplings. Recipe by Mikko*mikko

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

I live overseas, and my favorite Yukimi daifuku costs 3 times what they cost in Japan, so I really wanted to make them myself, and I was able to do so.In steps 6 and 7, the dough is very hot, but it cools down quickly. The dough is very easy to handle, so work patiently, trying not to rip it. When freezing the dough, try to wrap it up as air-tight as possible. 100 g of castor sugar may seem like a lot, but this prevents the dough from becoming hard, plus it makes working with the dough in steps 6 and 7 easy. If you are making it with the "Best Gyuuhi -," which reduces the sugar to 80 g, wait until the dough has softened at room temperature first before eating. For 6 to 8 dumplings. Recipe by Jun13

Since I don't have a pressure cooker, I can't boil adzuki beans, and since I live overseas, boiled adzuki is so expensive I can't afford it. I made an paste and daifuku with kidney beans, since they were the closest I could find to adzuki.When I used a can of kidney beans that were close to the expiry date, the beans settled at the bottom of the can resembled an paste already. The more sugar in the daifuku mochi, the longer they can be kept soft in the freezer. (The ratio I use is equal parts shiratamako and sugar to 2 parts water.) If you plan to consume them in 2-3 days, you can halve the amount of sugar. Recipe by byumi

I read Yasushi Inoue's historical novel. "The Samurai Banner of Furin Kazan", and was really drawn to the character of warlord Shingen Takeda's concubine Yuu-hime (Princess Yuu), and was inspired to make these dumplings in her image.I used canned sweet white bean paste, which I always have in stock.If the bean paste is too soft to work with, microwave it for a few seconds to evaporate the moisture. Cool down completely before working. Work quickly when you're doing steps 9 and 10. The gyuuhi dough is soft, but it's very stretchy and easy to work with, so spread it out patiently and carefully. Even if it stretches out to a funny shape, you can adjust it when you cut off the edges in step 11. As long as you have pieces that are big enough to wrap around the strawberries, it's fine. Alternatively, you can just divide the dough into 6 portions and make round daifuku dumplings instead.You can wrap the dumplings with plastic wrap and chill them in the refrigerator before eating - they're delicious that way too. For 6 princess dumplings. Recipe by Jun13

I'm creating easy-to-make recipes using rice bran, which is rich in vitamin B. Okara mochi is less floury than rice bran, and it hides the distinctive aroma of the rice bran, so these can be enjoyed even by those who don't like rice bran. Serve them as a small snack or for dessert.Adding sake midway through the process eliminates the smell of the rice bran. Adjust the cooking time depending on your microwave with the time indicated in the recipe as a reference. Try using rice bran powder, if you prefer. Feel free to also adjust the ratio of ingredients.

This is a quick and easy, but delicious, chicken and dumplings dish that I enjoy whipping up when I don't have time to make a "long version". This still looks like a lot of ingredients, but I promise it comes together in under 45 minutes.The dumplings are fluffy and biscuit like instead of dense and chewy because I don't like the texture of dense dumplings.
