After I made such fail Mochi last week, I wanted to try it again. It was such a failure. First I used blender grounded sticky rice, and then I used powdered coconut milk, and added milk, and steamed it. It was such a mess and I was surprised other people even ate it.

I probably kept groaning about it about not having proper ingredients, like real sticky/glutinous rice flour, so my father bought me some. I searched some recipes again and… I didn’t know I could do it by microwave! I randomly picked one site from Google Search because I was just browsing on my phone, and I decided on this recipe from VeganYumYum.com. But I didn’t have the particular brand, Mochiko, and I have no idea on where to get it. So I decided to just follow the proportions on the recipe. I also tweaked it a little to my preferences. I didn’t use ordinary white sugar. Instead, I used powdered sugar. The result? It’s soft and chewy and a choking hazard! It’s marvelous!

To give it a Filipino twist, I tried filling it with Polvoron too.
