The stuff I buy at the asian market is made from white rice. I use it as a dumpling/egg noodle replacement. They're thick and chewy, like the egg noodles I used to make from scratch. The rice used is sweet glutinous rice. The flour made from it is called mochiko (usually white glutinous rice, rather than brown, though brown can be bought, too). I use mochiko to make roux. ygg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 18, 2007 Report Share Posted July 18, 2007 Does vegetarian group have a mochi folder? I'm new to mochi - any recommendations? I tried grainaissance sesame garlic mochi and loved it. Is there a good website to buy different flavors, or different brands? Does anyone recommend another brand? I'm not into making it myself - yet... thanks, shelly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 How do you use the mochi? The only way I am familiar with is to pan fry it a bit and eat with a bit of noori. I'd love other ideas.

Guest guest Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 Hi Shelly. Thank you for posting - I never heard of mochi before so I had to go look it up. It seems a bit hazardous from the Wikipedia explanation! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mochi_%28food%29 Can you explain further?

Guest guest Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 Just dug my package out of the freezer.... Pre-heat oven to 450 degrees. Cut into 1 " - 2 " squares Place pieces at least 1 " apart on baking sheet. Bake 8-10 minutes until pieces puff up and brown. This is gluten and dairy free. For other ideas, visit their website www.grainaissance.com On 7/19/07, akfral <akfral wrote: > > How do you use the mochi?

Guest guest Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 I'd forgotten about mochi, I don't think the stores close to me where I live now have it! I used to cut it into squares, bake it and top with berries and honey as a dessert. I've also had green tea ice cream with mochi bits mixed in but didn't make that : ) melissa , Momcat <Momcat55 wrote: > > Just dug my package out of the freezer.... > > Pre-heat oven to 450 degrees. > > Cut into 1 " - 2 " squares > > Place pieces at least 1 " apart on baking sheet. > > Bake 8-10 minutes until pieces puff up and brown. > > This is gluten and dairy free. > > For other ideas, visit their website www.grainaissance.com > > > > > On 7/19/07, akfral <akfral wrote: > > > > How do you use the mochi?
