Warabi Mochi

Preparation

1.In a saucepan, mix the warabimochiko flour with the warm water until smooth and lump-free. Add the sugar and stir to dissolve.

2.Heat over low heat, stirring with a wooden spatula until the mixture becomes translucent.

3.Using a wet spoon, form into pieces. Let cool in water, drain, then sprinkle with kinako.

4.For the dark sugar syrup: Add equal amounts of dark sugar and water to a saucepan and heat until syrupy. (Crush the sugar if it is in lumps!

Trick :Rather than forming the pieces with a spoon, you can pour the dough into a slightly dampened dish, let it cool, then cut it with a wet knife before coating it with kinako.

It's ready! Enjoy your meal!
