Am missing Ren dreadfully. Will be in LA on Wed. and am sacrificing some school time to get cheaper tickets, but do not care right now. Anyway, tell me something happy to tide me through till then?
And I tried to make mochi again and this time there was less fail. Short version: cook mochi longer, spread out as one big layer and then cut into pieces, don't let the dough cool too long before handling.
They still came out lopsided, but they tasted much better.
Ahhhh! That would explain it... cooking longer probably gets the floury flavor out. Also, did you use more potato starch? (hahaha. I sort of shudder at what your kitchen might have looked like after.)
