Chi Chi Dango Mochi
1 lb of Mochiko, glutinous rice flour
2 1/2 Cups of sugar
1 tsp Baking powder
2 Cups of water
1 Can of coconut milk, (14 ounce)
1 tsp Vanilla extract
1/4 tsp Red food color
1 1/2 Cups of potato starch
Begin by preheating the oven to 175 degrees C (350 degrees F). Then grease a 9 by 13 inch baking pan. Whisk the rice flour, baking powder and sugar together, and put it aside. Then, in a medium sized bowl, mix together the coconut milk, water, vanilla and red coloring, and then blend in the rice flour mixture. Pour this batter into the greased baking pan, cover with a foil and bake for one hour. Then let it cool completely. Next, dust a clean surface with the potato starch and turn the pan of mochi on it. Use a plastic knife to cut the mochi into bite size pieces. This is a delicious Japanese dessert.
Realistically...
Look, a lot of these recipes are great but unless you live in NYC or SF, the ingredients are not next door. If you live next to a Trader Joe's or a Whole Foods, or any fancy grocery store, go to the ice cream section and buy the ice cream rice cakes (MOCHI), which come usually in green tea, strawberry, mango and red bean flavor. They're yummy, quick, a bit different, and more accessible than most desserts. Also, it's been my experience that most Westerners have difficulty with the red bean flavor (read: they cannot fathom why you have sweet beans as dessert).
Don't feel bad--desserts are a recent addition to East Asian cuisine (sweets aren't but desserts are). While fruit would be a more authentic end to the meal, cutting fruit is not really a 'recipe.'
save the hassle and go buy some Mochi Balls
