MOCHI



In my teen years,I have watched my dad making this mochi using the traditional way.HE mixed the glutinous rice flour with sugar and slowly mix  some water into a non sticky dough.  Roll the dough into small ball and flatten it.In a big pot of boiling hot water,he will put all the small dough ball inside to cook .Once the dough is cook it will float on the surface. he will spoon out all the cook one and put into another earthenware pot,using a wooden spatula to stir all the dough into a smooth  dough by
adding bit of shallot oil in order to get a smooth and chewy dough .It take more than an hours to get done. Seeing him making this mochi  is very tough.None of the children want to learn.
When I have married,have children,my mum friend teach  us the simple way to make this mochi.
so  simple and easy.

Every time you put a tbsp of dough onto the ground peanut,dig the spoon with some oil,so it won't stick to the spoon.Adjust the amount of ingredient s you want to make .Every  100g of flour add 100ml water and 20g of fine sugar.
