What is mochi?

Mochi is a tasty Japanese treat traditionally made to celebrate the New Year. It consists of sweet rice pounded to flour that is steamed and used as dough to cover a ball of red bean filling. They are usually covered in dry rice flour because they are sticky, but they can also be rolled in sesame seeds or ground nuts for extra flavour.

While traditional methods are time-consuming, it can also be made quickly by using store-bought sweet rice flour to start it with. I recommend the Mochiko brand. Try it, you'll like it!
