Mochiko Sweet Rice Flour (Pack of 3)

Product Information

Butter mochi is a favorite local Hawaiian sweet made of butter, mochiko flour, coconut milk and some kind of other milk (evaporated or whole milk). Sweetened with brown sugar and flavored with lemon juice, they have a very simple yet satisfying taste. The first difference is mochiko flour is very fine, while shiratamako flour looks more like coarse granules. Remove it from the pan while it‘s still warm by running an offset spatula or butter knife along the edges to release it.

I cut 6 columns and 4 rows from one 9 x 13-inch baking pan to make 24 pieces that are about 2 x 2 inches (5 x 5 cm). Soon I realized that all the top ten recipes have the same ingredients with a slight difference in amount, so it was all about finding the right ratios that suit our taste. You’ll love the chewy, buttery texture and tropical flavor of this dessert that’s part Japanese mochi and part local coconut cake. A couple years ago I attended a demonstration where a Japanese confectionary showed us how to make wagashi.I had a little trouble get the right consistency for the for the dough before I steamed it, but just adding a little more mochiko fixed it easily.

If you’re looking for a new way to use up over-ripe bananas, look no further than banana butter mochi! I read that a plastic knife won‘t stick to the butter mochi, but I don‘t have one, so I just rinsed my knife once halfway through slicing. But I would still recommend people to use Mochiko since the outcome is so unpredictable depending on what brand of glutinous rice flour you use.They love cooking and eating great food, and share a similar passion for home cooking using fresh ingredients. I listened to some of the other posts about the air bubbles being a problem and found that if I put a kitchen towel doubled up on the counter I could bang it harder which released more bubbles. Sweet Mochi, however, uses Mochiko (sweet rice flour) and a lot of sugar, and it stays soft for an extended period of time at room temperature because of the large amount of sugar. Some claim that it is based on a bibingka, a Filipino coconut rice cake, and another popular Hawaiian sweet, chichi dango (乳団子), which was originally from Hiroshima.

Butter mochi started getting more popular even outside of Hawaii, and now you can find a pre-mix box version at Trader Joe’s in the US. It’s been so difficult to find a way of doing it other than the microwave, which has resulted in so many failures. Stir with spoon/spoonula until just moistened, then add remaining milk in 2 parts, stirring until no lumps remain.I already read your answers for previous messages but if there is a possibility to add some corn starch into Glutinous Rice flour,I want to know the ration of corn starch in the rice flour.
