We topped one batch of our mochi with a kinako + sugar mixture. Here is a much more appealing photo from sadacori on Flickr.
Note: I linked some ingredients and supplies to Amazon.com but you can find most of what you need in a grocery store that sells Asian products.
I tried making microwave mochi a couple of years ago but didn't taste very good - not sweet enough. Maybe the kinako/sugar mixture would have helped?
ReplyDeleteI do make a mean butter mochi though! DD1 has brought it to school the past 2 Girls' Days and we have quite a few fans now!
DH is quite good at making it so if he can do it, you should be able to. Haven't done butter mochi - mmmm...make some for me!!!!!!
