Ingredients

  • ¾ cup warabi mochiko
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • ¼ cup kinako
  • 1 cup dark brown sugar

Instructions

  • Prepare a 9x9-inch baking dish by sprinkling kinako over the surface in a thin but even layer. Set aside.
  • In a pot, add the warabi mochiko, sugar, and 1 ¾ cups of water. Use a whisk to stir thoroughly.
  • Put the pot over medium heat and stir occasionally for several minutes until it begins to boil.
  • Turn the heat to low and use a spatula to strongly beat for around 10 minutes. You want the mixture to get thick and translucent. It should be the same consistency throughout and a whiteish-clear color.
  • Take the pot off of the stovetop and pour it over the previously prepared baking sheet. Use a spatula to spread it evenly.
  • Use some more kinako to cover the top by sprinkling it through a small sieve.
  • Leave the mochi to cool in the fridge for half an hour, but no longer.
  • After the mochi has fully cooled, remove it from the fridge and cut into cubes.
  • In a large bowl, add ¼ cup of kinako and put a few cubes of mochi in it at a time to toss with the kinako in order to cover all sides. Repeat with all pieces and add more kinoko as needed.
  • To make the syrup, add the brown sugar and ½ cup water into a small pan or pot.
  • Place the pan over medium-high heat and stir gently. Bring to a boil, then turn the heat down to low.
  • Allow to simmer for 15 or so minutes, stirring occasionally. The sugar should have completely dissolved and also become thicker like syrup.
  • Once the syrup is thick, remove from heat and allow to cool. Make sure the syrup has reached at least room temperature before pairing with the warabi mochi.
  • Place the warabi mochi on a place. Before serving, pour the kuromitsu over and enjoy!
