In Japan mochi is traditionally made from whole rice in a labour intensive ceremony called mochitsuki. It is supremely versatile, easy to cook and generally served as the main ingredient of a meal. Traditionally, it is included in the first meal of the Japanese New Year, usually in soup or stew.

Energising and easy to digest, even a small piece of mochi has the same calorific value as a whole bowl of rice, which makes it an excellent food if you’re feeling weak. Japanese farmers eat lots of mochi during winter because of its reputation for increasing stamina and warmth. According to traditional Japanese folk medicine, mochi is also beneficial for blood-sugar imbalances, anemia and weak intestines.

Directions of Use

Clearspring Organic Japanese Gluten Free Brown Rice Mochi can be baked, grilled, pan-fried, or deep-fried. When cooked, it puffs up to nearly double its original size, developing a crisp crust outside and a soft, melting interior. If cooked too long, the surface cracks and the soft part inside oozes out. So, while cooking, watch carefully. Once cooked, serve with dips or fillings of your choice, sweet or savoury.
