Instructions
 

Make the Mochi

  • In a microwaveable glass bowl (like Pyrex), mix mochiko flour, sugar, water and mugwort powder
  • Microwave this mixture on high for 2 minutes
  • Use a SOLID METAL spoon (wooden spoons might break!) to stir the cooked mochi so that the cooked and uncooked parts are evenly mixed
  • Microwave the mochi mixture again, this time for 1 minute. The resulting batter will be thick and slightly translucent.
  • Pour the cooked mochi onto the baking pan either sprinkled with starch or lightly greased with olive oil
  • Cut the mochi into 8 pieces using scissors
  • Fill each mochi with 1-2 Tbsp of sweetened red bean paste
  • Once sealed, press each mochi using either a flat spatula or the palm of your hands to flatten.
  • Fry the flattened mochi rounds over a non-stick skillet, or with a little bit of oil over medium heat, about 2 minutes on each side until golden
  • Enjoy!

Notes

*You can use 1 Tbsp of mugwort powder if you want a lighter colored and lighter flavored mugwort mochi. 2 Tbsp will result in a darker, more fragrant mugwort mochi.
