The favorite of glutinous rice lovers: [Cranberry + Matcha + Brown Sugar Mochi]
Overview
There was a time before when I was crazy about buying my third uncle’s mochi. . . But now I make all my own stuff, and I can’t earn any money by selling them outside. I made 3 types of mochi today, original mochi with cranberries, matcha mochi with matcha powder, and brown sugar mochi. , It is said that there are 3 types, but in fact the basic raw materials are basically the same, the only difference lies in the added accessories. Because I'm a lazy person and don't cook much at home, so I'm too lazy to use a steamer and just use a microwave to cook it. This snack is a quick snack, from preparation to making, it takes less than an hour, and it also includes half an hour of soaking time. If you are sure that the flour and liquid are completely mixed and there is absolutely no granular dry powder, then this soaking time can be omitted~~ (The dosage is for reference only, taking cranberry mochi as an example, the formulas of the other two are basically the same)

Ingredients
Steps
-
Make cake flour first: take some glutinous rice flour and put it in a flat plate;
-
Heat in the microwave on high heat for 3 to 5 minutes, until the moisture in the glutinous rice flour is basically evaporated, the color is slightly yellow, and there is a rice aroma, the cake flour is ready. Every 30 seconds to one minute in between, take out the plate and mix the glutinous rice flour to loosen it (you can also stir-fry it slowly in a pot);
-
After the cake flour has cooled, sift it onto a baking sheet covered with baking pan and make a thin layer;
-
Prepare all the materials. The milk and water I used are 75g each, and the total liquid volume is 150g;
-
Mix glutinous rice flour and wheat starch and mix well, then slowly add water and milk, stirring while pouring;
-
Add sugar and salt;
-
Stir evenly until there are no powdery particles, cover with a lid or plastic wrap, and let stand for 20 to 30 minutes;
-
After the time is up, use a spatula to fold the batter a little. If using plastic wrap, you can use a fork to poke holes in the plastic wrap. If using a lid, remember to open the air holes in the lid. Put it in the microwave and heat on high for 1 minute;
-
Take out the bowl and stir the mixture in the bowl with a spatula;
-
Cover it with a lid or plastic wrap and put it in the microwave on high heat for 1 minute;
-
After the time is up, take out the bowl and use a spatula to stir the mixture in the bowl;
-
Add dried cranberries, mix evenly with a spatula, cover again with the lid or plastic wrap, and continue to high heat for 1 minute;
-
After taking it out, observe the condition of the mochi. If the slurry in the bowl is cooked at this time (completely transparent, no white particles), then use a spatula to stir continuously until the mochi is slightly warm. If there are still white particles, use a spatula to mix well, continue to heat for 30 seconds, take it out and observe the condition until it is completely cooked;
-
Transfer the mochi in the bowl to the parchment paper that has been dusted with cake flour. I use a scraper for this step, which is a soft scraper used for kneading noodles. It can scrape the bowl cleanly (you can also put the cooled bowl in the refrigerator for a while, so that the mochi will not be so sticky and can be easily taken out);
-
Sift some cake flour on the surface of the mochi, shape it into a cylindrical shape, and set it aside until it cools down;
-
Brush off the dry powder on the surface, put it into a plastic bag, and freeze it (frozen!! not refrigerated;
-
After freezing until hard, slice or block, then seal and refrigerate. Just heat it in the microwave until soft before eating.
