Even Tastier Than Kinako Mochi? Pinako Mochi<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Today, January 11, is<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kagami Biraki Day<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kagami Biraki (literally “opening the mirror”) is a Japanese custom of taking down the kagami mochi, the stacked rice cakes displayed as a New Year decoration, and eating them to pray for good health throughout the year \u2728<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today I’d like to share a really delicious way to eat mochi (rice cakes) \ud83d\udc81\u200d\u2640\ufe0f<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

How to Make Pinako Mochi<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

1. Bring a pot of water to a boil. Once it’s bubbling, add the mochi and boil until it’s as soft as you like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now for the
Powdered Peanuts!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

While the mochi is boiling, mix together 40 g of powdered peanuts, 20 g of sugar and a pinch of salt. (Adjust the sweetness to your taste \u266a)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

2. Coat the boiled mochi with the peanut powder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

It’s just<\/p>\n\n\n\n

that simple,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

and yet it’s so delicious \u2661<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peanut-powder mochi is ready \u266a<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Or “Pinako Mochi” for short (peanut + kinako, the roasted soybean flour traditionally used on mochi) \ud83d\ude01 lol<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Boiled<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The lovely aroma of peanuts really whets your appetite. It might even be tastier than kinako\u2026 \ud83e\udd2d lol<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please give it a try \u2728<\/p>\n\n\n\n
