Sorry...<BR/><BR/>Errmm...normal chocolate as in baking chocolate or commercial chocolate for consumption? Baking chocolate shouldn't be a problem. I'm not too sure about commercial chocolate though.KWFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03990908601723909315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3179036054440551284.post-3516261281570079892008-05-04T22:58:00.000+08:002008-05-04T22:58:00.000+08:00Hi KWF, can help me to covert all these to grams? ...Hi KWF, can help me to covert all these to grams? <BR/><BR/>- 1 & 1/2 cups mochiko<BR/>- 1/2 cup sugar<BR/>- 1/4 to 1/3 cup melted chocolate chips<BR/><BR/>i looked at many websites for conversion but i get different figures..so confused now..<BR/><BR/>hope to hear from you soon. thanks! =)<BR/><BR/>and can i use normal chocolate to substitute the chocolate chips?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3179036054440551284.post-23478758118813008372008-04-13T11:58:00.000+08:002008-04-13T11:58:00.000+08:00HHB, let me know your result after you've tried, e...HHB, let me know your result after you've tried, especially after chilling.

Mdm Urakawa suggested the following portion.<BR/><BR/>- 1 & 1/2 cups mochiko<BR/>- 1 & 1/2 cups water<BR/>- 1/2 cup sugar<BR/>- Pinch salt<BR/>- 1/4 to 1/3 cup melted chocolate chips<BR/><BR/>Maybe you try using the above proportion and see if it's still as chewy after chilling.KWFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03990908601723909315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3179036054440551284.post-41266702410352402882008-04-11T08:02:00.000+08:002008-04-11T08:02:00.000+08:00HHB, err...not too sure what is Jap style, but I t...HHB, err...not too sure what is Jap style, but I think shd be, coz I got the idea from a reading that was talking about this Jap lady making mochi (refer to <A HREF="http://starbulletin.com/2002/08/07/features/story1.html" REL="nofollow">here</A>). $2 a piece?! Then you must really try this.<BR/><BR/>I just added an after note. It's best to eat these fresh coz the texture turns a little more chewy than it shd be after chilling. If you intend to make and eat them frsh, I'll strongly suggest to reduce the amount of water, maybe to 3/4 cup? Coz when I did this recipe, it sagged quite a bit after shaping. If you don't intend to make a chocolate one, try the original plain mochi I've previously done. That one works and holds much better. And oh yes, it may be better to wear gloves while handling them.<BR/><BR/>I've used glutinous rice flour for both rounds. You can get mochiko from Daiso. I haven't try that yet, but I heard there is some difference. If Daiso is not too inconvenient for you, get a pack It is supposed to give a different texture.<BR/><BR/>If you find a better recipe, let me know also, ok? :)KWFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03990908601723909315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3179036054440551284.post-23059222294852276602008-04-11T07:33:00.000+08:002008-04-11T07:33:00.000+08:00Hi KWF, Yuri...are these the Jap style mochi?

He asked me to make for him, coz he likes them...but I am not a fan of this kind of QQ, floury floury stuff, but I did promise that I will find out how to make them! So KWF, can I ask did u use glutinous rice flour or mochiko(?) where can I get this mochiko? is there any difference? thanks in advance!Happy Homebakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15310704979379806678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3179036054440551284.post-8785416532568810332008-04-09T22:32:00.000+08:002008-04-09T22:32:00.000+08:00yes yuri, I use my hand held mixer (speed 3 out of...yes yuri, I use my hand held mixer (speed 3 out of 5).KWFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03990908601723909315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3179036054440551284.post-62673523407992558152008-04-09T11:06:00.000+08:002008-04-09T11:06:00.000+08:00omg, messy :S btw, u used the mixer to knead right...omg, messy :S btw, u used the mixer to knead right? ok must pluck up courage to try tonight while i let the breadmaker make dough (gonna freeze the dough)Yurihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00968690514807506641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3179036054440551284.post-21610595466824571432008-04-09T10:24:00.000+08:002008-04-09T10:24:00.000+08:00yuri, be prepared to get a messy table and flour a...yuri, be prepared to get a messy table and flour all over you...lol... It's really quite tricky to handle this. I was like garang gabo throughout.<BR/><BR/>I mix all the ingredients then sieve them into a mixing bowl and just steam like this. After that just knead the whole thing in the same bowl.KWFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03990908601723909315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3179036054440551284.post-54661186028950815612008-04-09T09:06:00.000+08:002008-04-09T09:06:00.000+08:00hey wf, thanks for trying this.

I've been too lazy and chicken to try cos i had not been lucky with anything QQ although rei told me the steps. <BR/><BR/>one question, did you steam the mixture as a "whole" or did you break into small pieces? another silly question, did you steam it in the same heat-proof bowl?Yurihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00968690514807506641noreply@blogger.com
