Product Information

When you hear the word “mochi,” what’s the first thing that comes to your mind? Many of you think of the round mochi thatis stuffed with some kind of sweet filling such as red bean paste or chocolate, strawberry, mango, etc for more modern flavors. Using the microwave is the fastest way to cook kirimochi. All you have to do is to wet the surface of the mochi, put it on a microwavable dish, cover with plastic wrap, and heat it for about one minute (in 500W). As you probably can tell by now, there are MANY different types of mochi. Sweet mochi falls into the category of Japanese confections, called wagashi, but there are also other savory mochi dishes as well. Daifuku Mochi Daifuku mochi is probably the most well known wagashi made with mochi. The most basic daifuku is mochi that is stuffed with red bean.

If you haven’t had or heard of mochi before you must be wondering what I’m going on about. First off, mochi is a Japanese rice cake. It‘s made form pounded Japanese short grain rice and it comes in many, many shapes. It’s chewy and white and not at all sweet. The funny thing about mochi is that people often mistake it for a sweet thing. Many types of traditional wagashi and mochigashi (Japanese traditional sweets) are made with mochi. For example, daifuku is a soft round mochi stuffed with sweet filling, such as sweetened red bean paste ( anko) or white bean paste ( shiro an).

The most famous Hawaiian mochi dishes are butter mochi and chi chi dango. Butter mochi is a cake made from mochiko that also includes typical western cake ingredients like eggs, butter, and milk. Chi chi dango is a sweet rice cake that is similar to mochi in Japan except for the addition of coconut milk and sugar. According to an article I read once in Honolulu, chi chi dango originated in Japan but lost popularity there, while it remained popular in Hawai’i. I’m going to guess the addition of coconut milk was a Hawaiian adaptation, though. Butter mochi on the left and chi chi dango on the right Isti, Ayu (22 May 2022).

Cook the kirimochi pieces: in a pan over medium heat, place the kirimochi pieces flat on the pan (no need to grease the pan). Pan fry for 2-3 minutes on each side until the kirimochi starts turning a nice, golden color and puffs up. If you like it more crisp, you can cook it longer. Just make sure not to burn it. Note: You can also grill or cook the kirimochi in the toaster oven. In the Heian period (794–1185), mochi was often used in Shinto events to celebrate childbirth and marriage. According to the Ōkagami compiled in the 12th century, emperors and nobilities used to put mochi into the mouths of babies that were 50 days old.

Another way to cook it is by using the gas stove grill. Japanese gas stoves (gas cooktops) often have a small drawer which is a grill. In this type of grill, the food is cooked below the flame. By laying the mochi on aluminum foil and closing the drawer, since the heat only comes from above, it is better to turn it over when the top side is toasted. Bake the other side until puffy and browned and serve! Frying Pan Place the pieces of mochi on a microwave safe place (make sure the mochi isn’t touching) and microwave for 20 seconds. The mochi should be slightly softened and easy to pierce with a wooden skewer. If not, microwave for 20 seconds more, then skewer. You can prep the skewers the day before grilling, just make sure to wrap up tightly and keep in the fridge.

Think of mochi like bread: when it’s toasted, it becomes even greater than when it’s original state. And when you add toppings, it can become a whole meal. Mochi's characteristic chewiness is due to the polysaccharides in it. The viscosity and elasticity that account for this chewiness are affected by many factors such as the starch concentration, configuration of the swollen starch granules, the conditions of heating (temperature, heating period and rate of heating) as well as the junction zones that interconnect each polymer chain. The more junction zones the substance has, the stronger the cohesiveness of the gel, thereby forming a more solid-like material. The perfect mochi has the perfect balance between viscosity and elasticity so that it is not inextensible and fragile but rather extensible yet firm.
