When i was in a university i saw these man selling mochi filled with peanut jam, it was tasty and filling most of the time i buy his mochi because i dont have time to eat between classes , that man always come at the same time and always offering his mochi in a very polite way, then he stopped coming... poverty and evil thing is normal in my place... I just hope he is doing fine and keep his smile.
I wouldn’t roll mochi in oil. The oil can get trapped in the mochi and when you bite into it. A whole blob of oil will just spew into your mouth. I would roll the mochi in cooked rice flour or corn starch. And and I have never tried mochi with powdered sugar. It looks really good!
To make ice cream ones, do the same steps, except when it comes to forming the balls, form them, and then flatten the balls. Get more of that ice cream you had. And form that into balls but slightly smaller than the balls you made for the mochi. Put the ice cream in the center of the mochi, then wrap the mochi around the ice cream. Pinch it so that it stays closed, and freeze for 1-2 hours.
Yes, I can confirm that absolutely does work. I just tried it and I use strawberry ice cream and it tasted exactly like strawberries. It was so good I definitely recommend this.
Thank you for teaching me!!, but after i’m done eating a couple and I save some. I know it sounds weird, but I put it in the freezer and I like mine cold.
