Roasted Brown Rice Mochi Recipe

Japan · Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • 2 cups uncooked brown rice
  • 2–2 ½ cups water
  • 2 pinches sea salt

Procedure

  1. Wash the rice and soak for a couple of hours or overnight.
  2. Cook the rice in a pressure cooker until the liquid is absorbed.
  3. Grind the cooked rice in a mortar until the grain is completely fluid and sticky. This will take at least 30 minutes of grinding when done by hand.
  4. Shape the mash into 2 cm squares. Place the rice squares on an oiled plate and allow to dry for 1–2 days.
  5. Keep covered in a cold dry room or in the refrigerator.
  6. After this, roast the squares for 5 minutes in a pan.
