1. 1. Sliced and cooked for rice

Arranged by slicing mochi thinly and then cooking it with rice and ingredients. When the mochi melts and mixes with the rice, it becomes a cooked rice with a chewy texture as if using glutinous rice. I've introduced the recipe of spicy "Chinese style okowa " using sweet " Chestnut cooked rice " and "Mapo tofu" combined with "Kanro-ni", so I was curious. Check it out.

2. Pizza-like with cheese and sauce

"Mochi pizza " with a Western-style flavor. To make it, simply top the surface of the rice cake with sauce, bacon, peppers, cheese for pizza, etc., and then bake it in an oven toaster. It's easy to eat as a snack, and it's a satisfying dish that fills your stomach. It's also good to use it as a breakfast toast.

3. 3. Sun-dried + microwave oven for okaki

Arrangements that you can enjoy slowly over time. First, cut the mochi to a thickness of about 5 mm, spread it on a colander, and dry it for about 3 days. When it is well dried, heat it in the microwave (600W) for 1 to 1 and a half minutes on each side. When the water is sufficiently removed, sprinkle with salt or soy sauce to season. The chewy mochi has changed to a crispy, fluffy texture, giving it a taste that stretches your hands. If you fry it in oil instead of in the microwave, it will be a more authentic okaki.




After opening the outer bag, you want to eat mochi as soon as possible regardless of the expiration date. Please enjoy while arranging the above recipe as a reference. Takikomi gohan is especially recommended as it gives a touching and chewy texture.
