I am craving for some Japanese Dessert one day. I want to try something real easy to make. And I found this Warabo Mochi recipe. It is so easy to make and it only takes about an hour or so get it set for serving. This can be a last minute dessert idea for dinner party.
Ingredients
¾ cup (100 g) Warabi Mochiko or Warabiko (bracken starch)
⅓ to ½ cup (80-100 g) granulated sugar
1 ¾ cup (400 ml) water
Warabi Mochiko (Found in Japanese Supermarket) |
Toppings
¼ cup (30 g) kinako (soybean flour)
kuromitsu (brown sugar syrup)
Kuromitsu |
Instructions:
1. Prepare all ingredients and sprinkle some kinako on a baking sheet.
2. In a medium saucepan, combine the Warabi Mochiko, sugar, and water. Mix all together.
3. Heat the mixture over medium heat until it starts to boil.
4. Then reduce the heat. Using a wooden spatula, stir (more like beat) constantly and vigorously for 10 minutes, or until the mixture is thick and evenly translucent. It’s quite a workout but be patient,
it’ll
transform to clear color!
5. Remove the mochi from the heat and transfer to a baking sheet that’s covered with kinako
(soybean
flour). Sprinkle more kinako on top and let it cool in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.
6. Once it’s cooled, take it out from the refrigerator and slice into ¾ inch cubes. Toss the warabi
mochi with kinako and serve on the plate. If you like, pour the Kuromitsu (brown sugar syrup)
over the Warabi mochi
and enjoy.
7. You can save warabi mochi at room temperature for
1-2 days. If you keep in the refrigerator warabi mochi gets hard and becomes white color.
Warabi mochi is tastier if you refrigerate for 20 - 30 mins before you eat.
If you use real warabi starch, it lasts only for a day and must be enjoyed soon.
If warabi starch is
mixed with other starch, it lasts longer, but the color is not as clear.
