Mochi Ball Dessert


This is a very quick dessert that you can make with few ingredients. It's perfect when we feel like an after dinner dessert but don't have any chocolate or cookies around the house. Serve with tea.


Ingredients

1/2 cup Mochiko (Sweet glutinous rice) flour
pinch of salt
soy sauce
sugar
ground toasted sesame seeds
cinnamon

Add salt to mochiko flour. Heat 1/4 cup of water until warm and slowly add to mochiko flour until mochiko is a crumbly consistency that can be shaped into balls (you might not need to add all the water, or you might need to add a little more. Go by how it looks.

Shape mochi mixture into chestnut sized balls.

Boil a pot of water. Add the balls and boil for 3-4 minutes. When balls float to surface, take them out and place them in a bowl of iced water to stop cooking. Dry on a plate and then toss the mochi balls in your choice of: soy sauce, cinnamon/sugar mixture, or ground toasted sesame seeds (or all 3!).
