Fragrant With Mitsuba and Yuzu! Ozouni (Mochi Rice Cake Soup for New Years)
I've made this so many times I've lost count.
I make this year-round for breakfast for my mochi-loving husband.
If you do up to Step 4 the night before, it's easy to make in the morning.
For the dashi stock, you can just use 1 tablespoon of dashi stock granules in 5 cups (1000 ml) of water.
When adding salt in Step 4, be sure to taste it while you add it since different types of salt have different levels of saltiness.
If you have mari-bu (decorative ball shaped fu) the soup becomes very New Year-sy and festive. For 2 to 3 servings. Recipe by ruruchirin

Kyoto White Miso Ozouni (Mochi Rice Cake Soup for New Years) Kyoto White Miso Ozouni (Mochi Rice Cake Soup for New Years)
This is our family recipe for Kyoto-style white miso ozouni. I grew up eating this for years with my parents, who are both born and bred in Kyoto, and I love it. We only have this once a year at New Years, but I always comforted when I eat this. It's my mother's flavor.In Kyoto, we use round mochi cakes for ozouni. When heating them in the microwave, watch them so that they don't puff up too much and explode. Serve the soup and mochi before the mochi becomes too soft and melts. You can use authentic, properly made dashi stock, or instant dashi stock from granules. In Step 2, when cooking the satoimo, be careful not to simmer too long or it gets salty. For an easy to make amount. Recipe by Nanaiku

Chinese-Style Ozouni (Mochi Cake Soup) Flavored With Pure Sesame Oil Chinese-Style Ozouni (Mochi Cake Soup) Flavored With Pure Sesame Oil
I love the flavor of our family's standard ozouni that we have every year, but this recipe is in response to requests for something different! Even without adding any special ingredients, the fragrance of pure sesame oil adds a Chinese-style flavor. The sesame oil combined with the umami of vegetables and chicken tastes very rich. This is a hearty ozouni that children love too!By adding pure sesame oil during the preparation stages as well as to finish, the fragrance and the umami of the oil are evident in a well balanced way in the finished soup. Slice the vegetables into thin julienne to make an elegant version of ozouni that can be served to guests. This is delicious with grilled onigiri rice balls instead of the mochi cakes. For 4 servings. Recipe by Kadoya-seiyu -
Easy Sakura Mochi (Cherry Blossom Rice Cake) from Cooked Rice Easy Sakura Mochi (Cherry Blossom Rice Cake) from Cooked Rice
I have learned how to make sakura mochi, but I didn't have rice flour, domyoji flour, or a cherry blossom leaf...I wanted to make a sakura mochi easily, so I came up with this recipe.-A little amount of the red food colouring is enough to turn the rice pink, so don't add too much. If you add too much, the rice turns red.-A pinch of salt gives the rice a salty kick, and it will taste like the authentic sakura mochi. If you don't have the salted cherry blossom leaf, add little more salt in the rice to adjust the taste. I taste the mixture at the Step 3, and adjust the taste to my liking. Recipe by Marrietty -
White Sakura Mochi (Cherry Blossom Rice Cakes) White Sakura Mochi (Cherry Blossom Rice Cakes)
My hometown area has a tradition of making sakura mochi with glutinous rice, not with Domyoji rice flour. We cook the rice in a rice cooker so it is very easy. I made white sakura mochi without colouring and put cherry blossom flavored adzuki bean paste inside, and they turned out very elegantly. You can make ohagi in this way as well. This is a fool-proof recipe!The key to this recipe is to gently crush the rice grains after the rice is cooked, to create the mochi's thick texture. It will be quite hot, so make sure to moisten your hands and work quickly so that you don't burn yourself. To colour the mochi, add a little food colouring at step 2 with a toothpick. It will look pretty. For making 8. Recipe by Toiroiro -
