mochi

After making the mochi, I placed the rolled-out piece on a tray and in the fridge to cool before I cut it into pieces.


It looked like this after it's cooled and hardened.

I might have left it in the fridge for too long, because it was a bit too hard for me to cut it into pieces easily. I think a couple hours should be enough next time. Oh, and the katakuriko was a big help... nothing was sticking on anything! :)


Apparently I didn't roll the mochi "dough" out evenly... some pieces were slightly thicker than the others... but they should be equally yummy. :)



After wrapping them in plastic wraps, you can then store them in zip-lock bags, or in a container, or stack them up!
