Hi Everyone! I’d appreciate any advice on where to get good baked mochi and/or mochiko for making my own mochi in SF. I usually just go to Clement and 6th, but I’m pressed for time and have to get it this...

Glutinous rice cakes, called mochi, are used throughout Japanese cuisine. Try your hand at making your own with this straightforward recipe.

Perfect for wrapping around ice cream.

Trade in your champagne and hors d’oeuvres for sake and mochi.

As was mentioned above, home-made mochi doesn’t fare too well in the freezer, as least in my experience. Although it’s certainly not as nice as the “real” one made from pounding rice, you can make it at...

I’m going to try making my first batch this weekend, but I have – so far – two questions: 1) Is the mochiko I bought the same as the glutinous rice flour I use to make nian gao (Chinese new year cakes)? 2) My...

I love getting mochi (aka rice cakes) as a topping on my Pinkberry yogurt. Sure, the yogurt itself is low in calories but what happens when I add the mochi? Should I be having the fruit toppings instead? I’ve searched the...

The kind of mochi I make in the microwave or steam is using mochiko flour-sweet for manju making-azuki beans inside or layered chi-chi dango. The type of mochi that I think you are referring to is made from mochigome steamed in a...

With a mochi addicted daughter, I’ve sought to make my own Mochi at home. I’m talking about the kind of mochi usually eaten on New Years day...the kind made at various Mochitsuki events, pounded sweet rice....

Bought some refrigerated mochi a while back from my local health food store. Not too bad. Cut off a square, pop in the oven, puffs and browns and a nice snack. However, just went to take a piece out the fridge and saw green mold....

I recently had a very interesting and tasty red bean bun stuffed with a mochi-like substance (most likely mochiko powder). I heard it was from a bakery called Kelly’s near San Gabriel and Las Tunas but that’s all I...

pride, I would recommend skipping the rice-pounding part and start with mochi-ko (glutinous rice flour). In fact, the least messy way to make mochi dough is in the microwave, using a plastic non-stick cake pan that will let you...

quick notes on recent visits to Shakas and Back Home in Lahaina – two hawaiian restaurants that I frequent from time-to-time.... Shakas - Menu has been expanded to include Mochiko/Mochi Chicken – a local staple. Their...

I think there might be some dango in the frozen section of United Noodle, although I am not sure how tasty they will be. They also carry glutinous rice flour (mochiko) if you would like to try a recipe off the internet. I...
