Many families celebrate the new year with mochi. Here's an easy recipe to make with your family.
What You Need:
- 1 box rice flour (mochiko)
- 2-1/4 C sugar
- 2 C water
- 1 (12 oz) can coconut milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Potato starch
- Cooking spray
- Food coloring (Optional)
What To Do:
- In a large bowl, help keiki mix rice flour, sugar, water and coconut milk.
- Add vanilla extract and food coloring and talk about the changes in texture and color.
- Spray a microwave bundt pan with cooking spray; put half of the mixture in the bundt pan.
- Place pan in a dish with water and cover with plastic wrap.
- Microwave on Medium-High for 10-12 minutes. As you are waiting, weave a tale about the “mochi man” who jumps off the plate and runs away, much like the story of The Gingerbread Man.
