Mochiko Sweet Rice Flour (Pack of 3)

Product Information

Baked in a pan and cut into squares, butter mochi may look plain but it’s a true staple dessert in Hawaii. I don’t use a mixer because even though you don’t get gluten, you do get air, which will make it very cakey and I want to have a little of the density of mochi but lightened up with the baking powder. If you greased your pan well, you should be able to run a small, thin metal spatula or knife around the edge and a larger one along the bottom then just slide the entire thing from the long side out in one piece without breakage. My dough got lumpy after steaming, and even after adding the sugar 1/3 at a time, the dough didn’t get silky and smooth.

Add a can of milk (doesn’t matter which one), vanilla, 1 lb box mochiko, baking powder (I use a small sieve for the powder to prevent lumps). Yes, you can either use two 8×8-inch baking pans or cut the recipe ingredients in half to make one 8×8-inch baking pan.Brown sugar, condensed milk, and coconut milk are mixed into the batter to cut down matcha’s slight vegetal taste.

I had a little trouble get the right consistency for the for the dough before I steamed it, but just adding a little more mochiko fixed it easily. Traditional Japanese mochi is spherical with a sweet filling This mochi variation is sliced into thick bars and doesn’t have any filling. You’ll love the chewy, buttery texture and tropical flavor of this dessert that’s part Japanese mochi and part local coconut cake. It’s also used in Korean desserts, Filipino bibingka-style confections, and some Chinese dim sum dumplings. But I used glutinous rice flour, which I thought was the same as mochiko, and it turned out as a paste when mixed in the 3:4 ratio.My brother ended up liking it so much he told me I need to make it for Christmas and my mom and I had no problem polishing off an 8″x8″ pan in 3 days by ourselves. Like many things in Hawaii, it can be difficult to trace the exact origins of butter mochi, but it is certainly a result of many layers of cultural influences.

Chinese sesame balls are a scrumptious dim sum with a crunchy sesame crust, a thick black sesame filling, and a gummy-chewy mochi in between.Once you bite into it, your tastebuds will get a luscious burst of sweet and earthy red bean paste filling. Foods made with mochiko tend to be softer, and less chewy than traditional mochi made directly from rice. The consistency of my flour mixed seemed more smoother than the ones in the one shown in the video when you are commenting on soft dough. Sweetened with brown sugar and flavored with lemon juice, they have a very simple yet satisfying taste. Use a round pan to make classic cake slices, a baking pan to make mochi bars, or a muffin pan to make, well, muffins.

Even though my mother never made this (she was very old school from Kyushu), it’s nice to be remembered of home.I should mention that every oven is different (size, gas/electric, etc), so you may want to test and adjust. Made with coconut milk and mochiko (glutinous rice flour), this classic Hawaiian sweet treat will have everyone drooling.
