An intriguing Japanese confection that I was introduced to via Youtube videos was
mochi ... I thought I'd try and make some. So I bought Mochiko flour.
And then I visited an Asian grocery store that's been around for a number of years, for the first time, back in July. And came home with a few goodies.
So I decided NOT to make mochi.
Soft and squishy and delicious ... in so many flavours. Like these strawberry mochi ...
or this trio of anko (sweetened red bean paste), peanut butter paste or sesame seed paste filled mochi ...
or this classic mochi flavour ... matcha (green tea).
OK ... I DID make some mochi. I'll post pictures soon.
