First, here is an ad for a Mochi Maker.

Next, a recipe for mochi (rice cakes).

 

1   lb mochiko sweet rice flour

2 (3.00    ounces) packages apricot gelatin

1 (12.00    ounces) can apricot nectar

12   ounces water

1 1/4   cups sugar

  katakuiko, for sprinkling (potato starch)

1. Combine all ingredients except katakuiko and mix thoroughly with whisk

or spoon.

2. pour into a 9x13 " greased pan.

3. Cover tightly with foil and bake at 350F for 55 minutes.

4. Cool with cover on for 15 minutes.

5. Remove Foil and cool for several hours before cutting with a plastic

knife.

6. Coat with potato starch.

 

And finally, why not? Mochi waffles!

 

Mochi Waffles

I learned this recipe from Miriam Kaye, a brilliant cook and artist.

 

Mochi is a Japanese food, made by pounding glutinous rice to a paste, then

drying it in slabs. These are then cooked on a griddle until they are

crisp on the outside and really gluey on the inside, and are served

wrapped in a strip of nori (dried seaweed). You can find them at carts in

the Ginza (Tokyo's main shopping district) after dark.

 

Japanese mochi is made of white rice, but American health-food mochi is

made with brown rice, and sometimes raisins and cinnamon. The main (only?)

U.S. manufacturer is in Berkeley, California (of course). Mochi cooked by

this recipe turns out fluffier and less gluey than by the Japanese method.

 

Ingredients

1 piece of mochi, about half the area of your waffle iron

American style toppings: butter, sugar and cinnamon, maple syrup

or

Japanese style accompaniments: seaweed, pickles, dried squid, etc.

 

 

Procedure

Heat up your waffle iron. Put mochi in the middle and close. Cook until

browned. It will expand quite a bit.

 

Feeds one or more, depending on the size of your waffle iron.

Note: you can bake them up crispy all through, as my son prefers them.

You can also buy Mochi at many stores; look for it in a refrigerated

ethnic foods section. It comes in hard slabs you then bake up to light,

crisp snacks.

Hello there;

 

So does this turn out just like those puffed rice

cakes that you buy from Quakers, you know, just like

those mini rice cakes and they also sell the bigger

round ones and are dry and crisp?

 

Thanks for your recipes.

Hello again;

 

You know t he 2nd version where you mention that you

can bake them to a crisp all through, is that after

you did them on the waffle iron?

 

Or can one do that for both recipes?

 

Thanks!!!
