Chi Chi Dango
recipe from my mom
1 box mochiko (3.5c)
2 c sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1 can coconut milk
2 c water
1 tsp vanilla
1/4 tsp food coloring
1. Combine mochiko, sugar and baking powder in a bowl.
2. Blend Coconut milk, water, vanilla and food coloring in a separate bowl. Add wet ingredients to mochiko mixture.
3. Grease and flour a 9x13 pan. Pour into pan and cover with foil and bake at 350 for 1 hour.
4. Let cool and cut with plastic knife (or cut out with cute cookie cutter shapes) and roll in mochiko or kinako.
This is a super easy recipe if you are just starting out with mochi! There are tons of variations varying from butter mochi, blueberry, chocolate or pumpkin mochi and mochi stuffed with truffles, peanut butter, or an (bean paste). Even if you aren't Japanese, this is a super cute way to celebrate being a girl with your daughter, sister or girl friends!
