Sweet Bean Mochi Recipe
This dessert is very new to me until our thailand trip. I tasted it during our trip and it was so delicious. I loved it a lot. When i came back i searched in amazon and bought a packet of glutinous rice flour. As soon as it arrived, i made mochi. Traditionally it has red bean filling but i used green gram and it was pretty good. I have plans to make few more mochi recipes too.
About Sweet Bean Mochi Recipe
Mochi are small Japanese sweet cakes made from glutinous rice flour (mochiko). They have a soft, chewy outer layer and a sweetened red bean paste filling that is deliciously sticky. It is optional to freeze the red bean paste before using it, but it does make the process easier. Mochi is traditionally made by pounding steamed short-grain japanese sticky rice, known as mochigome, with a wooden mallet during a ceremony known as mochitsuki. This aerates and pulverises the rice, giving it the beloved texture of mochi. Pin

Is mochi just ice cream?
Mochi is Not Just Ice Cream. Making the ice cream experience portable with new flavours and a new delivery method is fantastic, but it pales in comparison to the rich history of sweet rice dough itself.
