Yield 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 (12 ounce) can frozen coconut milk
3/4 cup water
1 cup brown sugar
2 1/2 cups mochiko sweet rice flour (rice flour)
1 teaspoon baking soda

Tips for Baking Mochi:

  • Use glutinous rice flour: This type of flour is essential for making mochi because it gives the dough its characteristic chewy texture.
  • Soak the rice flour before using: Soaking the flour in water for at least 30 minutes helps to soften it and make it easier to work with.
  • Use a double boiler to cook the mochi dough: This method ensures that the dough cooks evenly and prevents it from scorching.
  • Stir the dough constantly while cooking: This helps to prevent the dough from sticking to the bottom of the pot and burning.
  • Cook the dough until it is translucent: This indicates that the dough is cooked through.
  • Transfer the dough to a greased pan: This will help to prevent the dough from sticking.
  • Let the dough cool completely before cutting it: This will help to prevent the dough from becoming sticky.
  • Mochi can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
