Reviews
This is not a review but a question : Allrecipes Member Why give it a 1 star review but YOU changed the recipe that’s my only question.
Modified the recipe slightly for more matcha and vanilla, microwaved, and it came out like this. Awful, and wasted matcha.
Really good. I used almond paste I had leftover from some bear claws as I did not have red beans on hand and it was very tasty. The possibilities are endless. The hardest part is just the tedious work of rolling. I used a little water on my finger tip (use food gloves btw!) to seal the bottom then rolled again in cornstarch for a neat flat ball. I can’t wait to try with more fillings!
Girlfriend really loves these treats and it brings us closer together. Easy and a wonderful time making these fun treats!
Try Stiring batter until its fluffy then Microvae for 3.5 minutes, but take the bowl out and stir thouroughly every minute until the time it up 🙂
It’s very easy to follow and simple. Haven’t tasted the results yet. But I do suggest heating just the water up first before adding it all together makes easier to mix and mold with hands and that way suggest only 3 minutes in microwave.
I haven’t made it, but I don’t know how else to ask these questions. Can you replace the paste with ice cream? At what temp would you bake if you use an oven? And that’s it, thank you!
It was super quick easy to make the mochi! Nothing beats fresh mochi!
super easy and good texture
I made this with Splenda! Delicious!!
I liked this as a means to fix my craving, but overall I’m not impressed. The rice flour was quite granular and powdery. Instead of warm water, I put hotter water, and added half a cup of sugar and half a teaspoon of extra matcha prior to microwaving. I think this adjustment helped but overall this doesn’t stretch as well as store bought mochi, and it’s texture is definitely not as smooth.
First time trying to make mochi. Great recipe. We used cookie butter to stuff instead of Azuki Bean Paste.
Great!
My matcha powder did not make the mochi as green as I’d wanted – rather, it was a sicky greyish tinge. Perhaps a bit of food coloring would make it better. I’d consider myself a beginner chef, and I found the recipe easy to follow. Tasted great! Thanks so much!
This recipe was a home run. It was extremely easy to make. I made it today for 10 tour guides from Japan. They gave it a 10 and could not believe this was the first time I had made it. I doubled the recipe with no issues and made the red bean paste with red kidney beans. Thank you, Sue:)
Good
Recipe was easy to follow. I made green tea with peanut butter filling. I hope it turns out good. This was my trial run before trying ice cream!
So easy and simple! Lots of fun to make too.
Surprisingly easy recipe! I followed the direction exactly. Next time I will reduce the amount of water . The Mochi came out too soft for my taste, but my family loved it!
The mochi tasted awesome! It was just as good as the store bought kind and cheaper. Also the recipe was super easy to make. My one pointer is to make sure the red bean paste to dough proportion is correct because if it’s not even the red bean paste makes the mochi way too sweet. Other than that delicious!
Great! I worked well. I made little blobs of red bean paste squeezed out of the bag onto foil and froze only for 15 minutes. I would probably up the sugar to 1/3 of a cup to sweeten a bit more. Will definitely make again!
