Alternative:Mochi

To make the rice cake "mochi" for 4 people, we need:

Ingredients

• 2 cups of brown rice
• 1 to 1.25 cups of water per cup of rice
• a pinch of sea salt per cup rice

Procedure

1. Wash the rice and soak for a couple of hours or throughout the night.
2. Cook the rice in a pressure pan.
3. Grind the cooked rice in a mortar until the grain is completely fluid and sticky. This will take at least 30 minutes of grinding when done by hand.
4. Shape the mash into 2-centimeter squares. Place the rice squares on an oiled plate and allow to dry for 1 to 2 days.
5. Keep covered in a cold dry room or in the refrigerator.
6. After this, roast the squares for 5 minutes in a pan.
