Tweaks

So the main tweak I did to this recipe is instead of water & food coloring I used a cup of cold butterfly pea flower tea, which turned it this beautiful blue. Instead of soybean flour, I used corn starch. And on top of 1/2 tsp of vanilla extract, I also used about 1/2 tsp of almond extract & a tbsp of honey. BEST MOCHI I've EVER HAD!!! The amount of sweetness was perfect! The flavor from the almond & vanilla extract, plus the honey was subtle, but the perfect touch! And the color from the Butterfly Pea Tea took it to the next level!!! It was as beautiful as it was delicious!! And even though I have all these Nutella balls frozen for the filling, my hubby & I couldn’t stop eating the mochi by its self!!

Left out the coloring. Reduced sugar and used strong coffee in place of water. Also, tapioca flour/starch in place of soy flour. After cooking, dust top with flour and turn out onto a floured surface (otherwise likely to have mochi stick to itself as you're rolling it out). Dust the bottom (now top) of the mochi. Cut with a plastic knife. Much less stickage than metal knife. Separate the pieces and dust all cut surfaces with more flour. Always experiment. Recipes are merely guidelines!
