RICE CAKE (MOCHI)
The rice cake (mochi) is a traditional Japanese food. It is made of glutinous rice (mochi-gome). Japanese-style confectionery shops sell rice cakes all year round, and we can eat them when we want to.
In Japan, people generally eat rice at New Year. A lof of families make their own rice cakes. I will briefly describe how to make rice cakes. First we steep glutionous rice in water overnight. Then we steam it for about thirty minutes, and pound it with a mallet and mortar. Nowadays many people use a machine powered by electricity instead. Finally, we shape it into round patties. At this point, bean paste may be used as center to make anko-mochi (bean paste rice cake).What is a good recipe for rice cakes--like the kind you buy at the store?
