Easy recipe for "Mitarashi Mochi" in the microwave

Ingredients

Here is what you will need

1 cut rice cake
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon mirin (sweet cooking rice wine)
2 teaspoons sugar

Directions

Cut rice cake into 4 equal pieces.


Put 1 1/2 tablespoons water, soy sauce, mirin, and sugar in a heatproof bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and microwave at 600W for 1 minute.


Remove and mix lightly, then add the cut rice cake and wrap again. Microwave for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes, keeping an eye on the microwave.


When the rice cake is soft and fluffy, it is done! Serve in a bowl and enjoy.

How does the Mitarashi rice cake taste?

The sweet and sour sauce that is mixed with the fluffy and chewy rice cake is irresistibly delicious! While reproducing the delicious taste of Mitarashi dumplings, the Mitarashi Mochi is more elastic and has a smooth and mild taste.


You can easily eat four slices (equivalent to one rice cake), but you will feel quite full when you finish it. Please adjust the seasonings and heating time according to the size and number of rice cakes.
