Unleash Your Inner Chef: Perfecting the Savory Mochi Recipe
Welcome to a delightful twist on the classic Sweet Mochi dessert. This time we're making a Savory Mochi that wraps around delicious ice cream, and if you have some leftover mochi, give it a try toasted under the broiler for a few minutes. Here's how you can whip up this unique treat!
Ingredients (5)
- 1 1/2 cups Mochiko (glutinous rice flour) + extra for dusting
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1 1/3 cups water
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons light corn syrup
Let's Get Cooking!
- In a large bowl, mix together Mochiko and salt until combined.
- In a medium saucepan, combine water, sugar, and corn syrup, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce to a simmer and cook, stirring, for about 5-6 minutes, until the sugar is dissolved.
- Make a well in the center of the Mochiko mixture and pour in the sugar syrup. Stir until all flour is incorporated. Transfer the dough onto a work surface lightly dusted with Mochiko and knead until smooth and elastic.
- Pinch off tablespoon-size pieces and flatten them into 3-inch circles about 1/8 inch thick. Dust rice cakes with Mochiko, place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, cover in plastic wrap, and store in the refrigerator or freezer until needed.
For the best texture, form the mochi immediately after making the dough. If you need to store them, they can be frozen for up to 7 days. Just remember to let them defrost before using.
