Thomas has been dying to try and make mochi for a while now and Monday they found the chance. He ordered what he needed Friday and they arrived Monday morning. So within 10 minutes of it arriving they set about making Mochi.

Mochi Making

Although at least that is what they said they were doing. In fact, they were making more of a mess than food.

  • Creating Mochi making the dough
    Mochi Making
  • Mess being made in the kitchen
    Chaos caused by two teens….
  • Rolling the balls before adding the Red Bean paste
    Cornflour……
  • making the Red bean paste balls
    Rice flour……
  • Wrapping the dough over the red bean paste
    sugar……..
  • Signs of the finished Mochi
    and red bean paste!

They weren’t quite the hit they were all expecting! After trying them they realised maybe they should have brought some first.

So Ingredients to one side, they’re now on the hunt for some premade to try.
