Sublime Sunday and Delicious MOCHI

in #hive-1484419 days ago

Guess what?

I received a super fresh mochi from a tiny manju shop in Hilo!!

There is a belief in Japan that rice is the food for the dead before they reach nirvana, and mochi is a lucky charm.

It will be a good sign if they get Two Ladies mochi on the way.

Mochi is typically consumed in place of rice during the New Year holidays, which in Japan historically last until the seventh.

Freshly prepared mochi is a whole different experience; it's softer, stickier, and the natural sweetness of the rice shines through. Commercial dried mochi cakes are readily accessible at any Japanese grocery store and are unbeatable for convenience.

This box of mochi is from the Big Island of Hawaii, brought over by a friend!

In traditional Japanese culture, mochi is considered "food of the Gods" and is associated with successful marriages and good fortune.

In addition to being a delight, mochi was also utilized to supply much-needed sustenance because one tiny piece is nearly equal to consuming a cup of rice.

Some market freezer areas (Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, certain supermarkets, and Asian specialty shops and eateries) may have packaged mochi. Or we could do it ourselves.

You may learn how to create sweet mochi from this video. Mochiko (sweet rice flour), sugar, and water are the ingredients. Very easy! You can use it to make your favorite Japanese treats, such as Mochi Ice Cream, or you can consume it on its own.

From the way you describe it, I am sure it must be very delicious, in my life I have never eaten it, the closest thing to a rice based sweet, is a typical one in Venezuela that is known as Rice pudding, and I can assure you that it is very good.

But well I still have the hope of trying it someday, I just have to locate a Japanese community, I know that the state where I live, there is not, but in the capital it is possible that if.

It is made of glutinous rice flour. One of these days you'll get to taste it! Are there Asian stores there? And, you'll like the taste... it is weird, but you will like it, @lanzjoseg !

I've never had mochi before. They look delicious though.

On its own, plain mochi has the flavor of neutral gummy candy mixed with marshmallows. The rice gives it a starchy aftertaste. Its texture is likewise soft, chewy, sticky, and elastic.
Green tea, herbs, sweeteners, and more are just a few of the many ingredients that can be used to flavor mochi. It can also be filled with a variety of ingredients, though sweetened bean paste is a common option.
Be sure to look for them to taste it, @bozz!!

Very interesting sis! I hope you enjoy your mochi! I used to watch NHK Japan and they'd have a lot of programs where they were making this. I do seem to recall them hitting it with a mallet of some variety, unless I'm thinking of the wrong food! Anyway, it sounds tasty. Thanks for sharing; much love, hugs and kisses to you!🤗😘😍🌸 !LADY !LUV !PIMP

Such things are much tastier if they are fresh and it feels much better to eat them. I didn't know anything about them before.

Do you have a similar food where you live, @djbravo ?
