This weekend I decided to cook some more recipes from
The Kind Diet Cookbook, by
Alicia Silverstone.
A few months ago I did
a post about what I thought about her cookbook & what I had made from it so far. Last time I was reading through it, I was intrigued by the notion of cooking with
mochi. Alicia had a few
Superhero mochi recipes that sounded good, so I decided to try them this time around.

| Baked Mochi |
I'm glad I tried the recipes, but I don't think I will ever cook with
mochi again, it's just too chewy for my taste. I was never able to get the
pan-fried or
baked mochi to look like the pictures in the recipes. The pan-fried
mochi looked like breakfast sausages to me, although I did enjoy the sweet/savory taste of the rice syrup/
shoyu glaze. The baked
mochi looked like, well, you be the judge... The
waffle mochi did morph into a true waffle shape, but again, it was just too chewy for me. I suppose if you must eat gluten-free,
mochi would allow you to make some interesting dishes.
