BySunny: Grandma's Mochi

Colourful Mochi sell outside

Nowadays the mochi which are sold outside is all very colourful & with lot of fillings like red beans, yam, mango & etc etc. As for my family, we always like the kind of mochi my grandma had made for us. It is either peanut or beans fillings. The skin is always white. Maybe the colour is not very nice but it is very different & yummy....



During Chinese New Year, Dad was telling my cousins that sister is making Grandma's Mochi recently. All get so excited because this Mochi is almost gone in our family but sister decided to give it a try. Although the standard is not as good as grandma but still eible. HAHA..

Today, my dad is thinking of eating that so he asked my sister to make for tea break. YAY!!

The fillings need to steam till soft & mashed it then add sugar & stir fried in a wok to add the sweetiness to it. When it is cool, make bean balls to be wrapped later.

The skin is make from glutinous flour. Have to add 4 rice bowls of water & rest for 1 hour. After 1 hour, have to scoop out the water that are sitting on top of the mixture. Now can steam it. It takes about 45mins for the skin to be steamed. Take it up from the steamer & let it cool down for 30mins because too hot for the hands.

Using rice flour to prevent the skin to stick to the hands. Take a small dough enough to wrap the beans filling. Then deep fried in the oil & take it out when u see the skin with small bubbles. Take it out & place in kitchen paper to absorb the oil. It is ready to serve!!
