As an Asian, the usual cake that we grow up with is a
little different with western, as we tend to heavily reply on various types of
rice flour, and starch on our sweet and savoury snack. And one of my all-time favourite
even since I was a kid is Mochi. Mochi is usually referred to any glutinous
flour products but in Japan, mocha is generally referred to any traditional
cake.
What I love the most of these Mochi is the chewy texture,
traditionally the chewiness was made from continuously pounding from cooked
rice to paste. But now a day, thing was so much easier for us, you do not need
to pound til you sweat to make these delicious traditional Mochi, all you need
is just a microwave and it will be ready in less than 30 minutes.
