Aloha mai kakou! This is my first tutorial and I hope someone can take something away from it. This is part of my Chaobefore30 before 30 goals...to post a tutorial. I made these simple snacks to give to my coworkers and family for xmas and everyone seems to love them. I hope this helps, I've included tons of pictures because I love tutorials with lots of pictures because I get confused easily and panic when I'm not sure what things are supposed to look like. Let me know how they turn out! xoxo...u`i

Instructions

  1. Small img 20111224 083714 1325147485

    Making the Mochi 1 1/2 cup mochiko flour 1/2 cup white sugar 2 tsp vanilla extract 1 1/2 cup water food color potato starch to use when shaping the mochi

    Truffettes de France Truffles Unless you make your own, these are absolutely the BEST!!! They are so `ono!!!

  3. Small img 20111224 084152 1325147641

    Mix everything except the potato starch in a microwave safe bowl.

  4. Small img 20111224 084350 1325148054

    It should look a little bit watery, it may somewhat act the same as water in corn starch.

  5. Small img 20111224 085639 1325148141

    Cover microwave safe bowl tightly with plastic wrap. Place in microwave: 3:00 minutes on low (30%) 3:00 minutes on medium (50%) 1:30 minutes on highish (70%) While mochi is cooking in the microwave, spread potato starch liberally on a parchment lined cookie sheet.

  6. Small img 20111224 085713 1325148293

    Scrape mochi from sides of dish with a silicone spatula. If the mochi becomes too sticky, just power the spatula with some potato starch.

    It will come out an amorphous blob, that?s fine. It would be a lot easier if there was a microwave safe bundt pan, but pyrex will do fine. Make sure you put the blob on the potato starch so it will not stick and cover the mochi with the starch so it will not form "crust." CAUTION: VERY HOT!!!

  8. Small img 20111224 131131 1325150203

    Form into a log, this will help to cut into similar size pieces. CAUTION: VERY HOT!!!

  9. Small img 20111224 090820 1325148649

    Use a plastic knife to cut into smaller pieces. Plastic utensils work better because they do no stick to the mochi. If mochi does stick, it will peel right off. CAUTION: VERY HOT!!!

  10. Small img 20111224 090838 1325148914

    Shape the mochi in to a saucer by kneading and folding in ward. If there are crust spots, folding in will help the make them go away. CAUTION: VERY HOT!!!

    Another image of folding it in. For those who are not familiar with mochi making, this is the technique and you may want to look up a youtube video for better clarification. Sorry, pictures could not capture it.

    *It's pink because my green was getting too cool to continue taking pictures and making them. Place truffle in the center of the mochi. Cover hands with potato starch to keep from becoming too sticky. It also helps with the heat because it can be extremely HOT. CAUTION: VERY HOT!!!

  13. Small img 20111224 121134 1325149600

    Pinch closed like a wonton.

  14. Small img 20111224 121202 1325149668

    Pinching completely closed and shape like a ball in your hands using a cupping motion.

  15. Small img 20111224 150327 1325149721

    Let cool on your 2nd parchment paper lined cookie sheet. Once it is cooled, place in cupcake liners and package or ENJOY right away! If you put them in the microwave for 10-15 seconds after they have cooled and re-hardened, the center will be nice and melty and ohhhh so yummy!
