I discovered mochi studying the Japanese tea ceremony 30 years ago. I’ve been a fan ever since, and eating them still evokes some of the deep tranquility I experienced with the tea ceremony.
Heyo! Just a super-quick pedantic note: "mochiko" is not a brand, but simply the japanese term for the type of glutinous rice flour. Wikipedia: "The glutinous variety called mochigomeko (もち米粉, or mochiko for short) is produced from ground cooked glutinous rice (もち米, mochigome) and is used to create mochi or as a thickener for sauces." [en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rice_flour] Looks delish by the way! ((:
@@natalie_watson potato starch or any other very fine powder starch; you could maaaaybe even try powdered sugar but i am really not sure if that'd go well hahah. I've only used potato starch myself (:
This guy is my literal savior. I've been in lockdown and all the mochi shops were closed... I've found your video, made it and made more the next day!! Thanks for this simple recipe, I thought mochi was more advanced but thanks to you, I can make em all day. Thanks man :)!!
FINALLY a mochi recipe I can do. I've been wanting an easy recipe for mochi since I tried it over a year ago and you answered all the questions I had in the process thanks man
So easy!!! I halved the recipe to make a small batch for each of my grandsons who loved rolling, and eating it for their first Japanese Tea Ceremony. They got to add some food coloring. Next time we will fill the dough. Now it was just rolled and cut into pieces. I needed to microwave the halved recipe (uncovered) for only 60 seconds and it was perfect.
I have never heard of mochi. I will try it. It doesn't look anywhere near diabetic friendly, but I would still like to make it for a chest day. I've subscribed. Thank you for posting! Blessings and health on you and yours and to all who read this! 😘👍😇💖
This is so helpful. I am a disaster when it comes to trying to make mochi. It's all over the place and so hard to clean up. This will make it so much easier. Thank you!
I love your enthusiasm. Fun and inspiring. So nice to be able to make the mochi so quickly via microwave, thank you. I made some with red bean paste and mung bean paste and it turned out great. Also added some minced nuts and sesame seeds to the paste and that turned out amazing too. I was able to freeze them and thaw them in fridge and it was always softened well again. When mochi ball seems a bit hard, a quick 15 sec in microwave made the mochi perfectly yummy again.
How to make Mochi: Step 1: get a huge freezer Step 2: put nothing in the freezer to have enough space for the Mochi Step 3: cry in tiny freezer that doesn’t even have enough space for one tiny little cuty Mochi
The way i make mochi you don't need a freezer at all! You just make your mixture in a small bowl, cover it with a plate and microwave, and let it cool a little before putting it on the plate with the corn starch and rolling it out! It's much better portion wise too for one or two people!
I made jello mochi using 3 oz of jello mix along with sweet rice flour and added cup of hot water to pre-start the cooking process and then microwave for 1 minute intervals, stirring in between until fully cooked.
My small ice cream scoop is the best purchase I've ever made. I found my favorite one, from Oxo, at a local thrift store for $2 but I also have one that I bought for $12 at Kroger. It makes making these so much easier. Also, throwing the whole can in the freezer before scooping for about 10-15 minutes will make it so that it doesn't stick to your scoop as much.
Never eaten or made these before but a lot of people seem to love them. It's probably time I made some :D And I must say, you saying that it was going to be the easiest recipe made me real happy, as the concept itself was always intimidating for me ;P Also, I love bean based dessert (brownies, cookies etc) so they will probably be a hit for me :D . Anyways, thank you for teaching us how to make such a great treat and ceaselessly expanding our perspective on what's possible! Have a fabulous week ahead and stay safe!
Thank you so much Margaret!!! It is so good and if you already like sweet bean recipes then yeah, you'll absolutely love this!! Hope you make it!!! I know you'll love it!
I'm going to be that person. Just cause it's driving me crazy. Mochiko = Japanese word for sweet rice flower. Koda Farms is the brand of mochiko that you showed. It is probably the easiest Japanese brand to get in the US and can be found at any Japanese or Asian market. Other countries, like Korea, China, etc also will have their own word for sweet rice flower, and their own brands.
Aaaaah you can make sweet crepes with mini mochis (I see the ones without filling being used, but be the captain of your soul) and strawberries and wathever you want because crepes are great!
With the mochiko rice flour, you can add water till its a dough and then fry it in vegetable oil, then add condensed milk or add caramel This makes a delicious Philippino desert
Thanks for the tips! I live in Japan and I've spent the whole evening trying to work with mochiko. SUCH A NIGHTMARE. It was impossible to work with (sticky as HELL). I will definitely try to put the dough in the freezer. Thank you!
One of the things that I just cannot find anyone doing is a vegan kielbasa or andouille sausage. I adored smoked sausage and would love to see a way I could learn to make a convincing alternative. Love your channel.
he does have a few sausage recipes on his channel-- you should be able to recreate kielbasa or andouille sausage by using similar seasonings/flavorings to those sausages while following one of his sausage recipes.
Nice I love it. Only thing is that a lot of utilities were pretty useless and could have been left out. Cupcake tray, backing tray, plastic wrap, cupcake wrapping, half of the starch. A simple dinner plate and a middle sized cutting board are enough.
if anyone cant find glutinous/sweet rice flour, there is a similar recipie with sugar, milk and cornstarch that can be used wich makes a stickier but still delicious treat
1 cup sweet rice flour 1/4 cup sugar Mix 1 cup water Mix Needs to be thin runny dogh Close lid Put in microwave 3 and half min Take out every minute and mix with rubber spatula Needs to be solid kind of dough
Hi my son is making mocha as his chosen dessert in his foods exam in high school tomorrow…. Is it possible to cook it on the stove? Do they have to be refrigerated? Thanks! Hope I hear back from you in time!!!!
Heyyy Vsauce! Michael here. So...Mochi, one of the world's most inexplicable wonders. Ice cream, but yet, somehow, chewy. Scientists have spent yeeears...understanding...mochi. Where did it come from? How did it come to exist? Why do we live inside of it? How does it hold all of us? Researcher's say it's IN the TEXture...
Also, don't you reflect on how did people came up with these unique ideas? It is always fascination to me how many concepts were fully accidental inventions :D
Ive been making this stuff with green tea ive been just using 1c rich flower 3/4 c water and i just dump the potent matcha powder i didnt know you needed to substitute the water for tea
Hey guys! Btw if you don’t have rice flour but you have cornstarch you can use 2 tablespoons of brown sugar and 6 tablespoons of cornstarch plus 1/3 cup of water mix it up until a watery consistency in a pan then after that turn your stove. Move the pan to the stove and turn it on medium heat and stir till it’s a doughy consistency it should be a little sticky! You can add any extract after that like ube or pandan those are just examples you can use any extract and then need it into the dough with your hands (I suggest 2 drops of extract) and then you can add your ice cream and fold it kinda like a dumpling fold sides and pinch it at the. (Side note you can also add pasted like the ones in this video or you could add ice cream like I’ve seen in stores. But I do prefer adding extract so the dough tastes better. There are other ways I can list but some don’t always work as well
What about tapioca flour? We use it to make pão de queijo and it has a very similar texture. Gonna try to make tapioca mochi and tell you what I've got.
Hi! Will the dough work without sugar? Just glutinous rice flour and water? I don’t think we have any sugar at home as we basically don’t eat it. And the red been paste is sweet by itself. I’m just worried about the texture of dough, will it be the same in this case?
I discovered mochi studying the Japanese tea ceremony 30 years ago. I’ve been a fan ever since, and eating them still evokes some of the deep tranquility I experienced with the tea ceremony.
How cool🌱😊😊😚

Woah! Didnt even know that! Thank you lol hope you have a great day!
Is there something else than cornstarch you can use to help it not stick?.. I hate the taste

I’ve been looking for mochi recipes! I have so many allergies, dairy, wheat, eggs, nuts, etc. Mochi is one of the few desserts I can enjoy!
Try malay sweets like agar agar jelly or kuah lapis
Same!

I’m lactose intolerant so I just store my red bean paste mochi in the freezer and then eat it while it’s still cold and slightly firm, yum 🤤
Adzuki beans are so good! I made a black rice & adzuki bean side dish! Very nutritious & delicious.
So sooo good!

Use a smaller baking tray!!
@Renice Eccles why😅
@Renice Eccles I summon you to come back another time

Butter mochi is food crack. So, so good. Also, red bean filled mochi is one of my favorite desserts too.
tried this out.. it worked perfectly and tasted delicious!

You’re awesome for being open minded about bean desserts! Love it
you neeed to try its soooo good
@SauceStache do I need to put a lid because I don't have a lid
How about a vegan chocolate merengue pie? Using aquafaba for the merengue and some of your dairy replacement and xanthan gum for the custard.
I love that idea!!!! I have some new tricks I've been messing with that could totally make that happen!!
Mmm!!
Can’t believe you made mochi!!! I’m making it for the first time, and here you are, haha!! I’m making a mushroom stuffing for mine. Yum.

The mochi video is one of the first ones to get me addicted to your channel!
I used normal flour and it still worked
watching anime realllly makes me want to try mochi
You should try it. It’s amazing:

what's it called??
@@cruxicute Its just fried stick rice balls :)
Sounds really good!!
Recipe totally works I did not think it was that easy.
Mark, what do you think of dissolving the sugar into the water, then add the water to the Mochiko? love your tutorials by the way.
Thank you 🙏 for help me with this multitasking recipe look , that’s wonderful recipe and look soo simple and very easy 🤩
I just finished making some Nutella and banana filled mochi as an afternoon snack for my children. It was so good.
It looks so good. The issue is that I don't have any microwave so it it possible to make it without it?
OMG Love mochi! Can you cook the flour in an oven instead of microwave? How long would you cook it for?
Thanks for the tips! I live in Japan and I've spent the whole evening trying to work with mochiko. SUCH A NIGHTMARE. It was impossible to work with (sticky as HELL). I will definitely try to put the dough in the freezer. Thank you!
Great I have the glutinous rice flour totally same package
I love that sweet bean paste. It's great in flaky pastry. Yum.
Love your videos.
Can we make it using glutinous rice flour??
Thank you!! and Yes, thats what I used in the video
I'm curious: Would glutinous rice flour add texture to chick'un? I probably wouldn't replace the seitan in the recipe, but what if you added to it?
Great recipe that looks real easy, but I don't have a microwave. Is there any way to do it without a microwave?
I am Asian and I didn't know they had canned red bean paste! Lol! Great recipe! Can I use my stove instead of a microwave to make the mochi?
Awesome! I’ve been meaning to make these. Plus your original mochi video deserves over a million views so I’ll rewatch and share it a bunch.
I’m definitely interested in making my own HOPEFULLY IM ALL GOOD!!!

Just made some mochi or at least tried thanks for making this video was really helpful.........
I got so motivated to make some mochis. I wish you would‘ve been my math teacher 🥲
if anyone cant find glutinous/sweet rice flour, there is a similar recipie with sugar, milk and cornstarch that can be used wich makes a stickier but still delicious treat
this needs more veiws
Would it be alright to use powdered sugar instead of corn starch if you wanted it to be a bit more sweet?
I'm earlyyy hehe! Love love love your videos!
Ahhh YES!! Thank you!!!
I never tried mochi but im gonna reward myself after being sick with covid. There's a few asian stores that carry it, but they're a bit expensive.
Yum yum yum, can't wait to try. You made it look so easy
If you hate the taste of corn starch, you can use powdered sugar instead, I prefer to mix it in equal parts with corn starch.
Is it ok if I use flour instead of starch since I don't have any?
We have something similar in our culture also made from rice flour and it is a dessert and you also stretch it. But no beans lol
Me:writing "rice flour "on my moms book.
Suddenly he said No! l was just like .."oh my god my mom don't have that kind of flour "
Gonna have to follow this one 💯💯
Do it!! Its SO GOOD!
I love how excited you are about the mochi 😂 I am too
I don't have a microwave do you think I could use a gas oven instead?
I'm so happy this channel gets more and more subscribers!!
I love your mochi stuff.
It's been a while since the last one!! I had to update it
I LOVE mochi! Was also thinking to make some myself

For those wondering mochi is like a fluffy raw cookie dough that’s the best food ever
I love when that rice flour pack write with the thai language and made from Thailand.
Omg looks so yum imma make some with ice cream later...maybe try to make a breakfast mochi 😮
Ive been making this stuff with green tea ive been just using 1c rich flower 3/4 c water and i just dump the potent matcha powder i didnt know you needed to substitute the water for tea
Please, how much grams are a cup of glutenous rice flour? Is it about 135g? And a cuarter cup of sugar is 50g?
I would totally do this recipe, but I don't have a mircowave, would warming on the stove like a double boiler work too?
Awesome- thanks for doing this! Is there a way to make without a microwave? I don’t own one.
You can use a steamer.
Omg I can’t like this enough times 🤗🤗🤗
Have you tried Anmitsu? I just think it should be more popular given how popular is mochi, specially in summer!
Fresh mochi is amazing！
I loooove red bean mochi!
Love this video! Very well made.
Hi I’m in Australia and can’t get wrap n seal is there a substitute
You are a genius
ive never tried ice cream mochi, only red bean. should i try it, or stick to what i now? also, what flavour?

Yes, yes, yesss!! I love mochi!! Gonna try this :) thanks
After frozen the ice cream mochi for some days, does the mochi dough still remains soft and chewy after defrost ?
I love Mochi! Can you us how to make other kinds, like lotus seed, or even strawberry daifuku (my favorite!)
They say this is the number one choke hazard in Japan. Go figure. Looks good. Gonna try this.
I've been subscribed for about a year and I never seen one of your mochi videos, how could I have not seen them.

may I know will the dough becomes hard after frozen and unfroze?
Do you have to use corn starch or can you use another starch
Lol your smart, I didn’t even think about cooling the dough.
Just dont consume sticky rice flour too much when you have surgery or big cut.
It doesn’t need to be bean paste right? It will work if it’s like a fruit filling right?
