Miso Peanut Butter Mochi Recipe

Lunar New Year is a special day for many of us at Miso Tasty, and what better way to mark the occasion than to make mochi together! 

Mochi is a sweet dessert popular across Asian made from glutinous rice flour and a sweet filling. 

Mochi is often enjoyed on New years Day and other festival dates. 

Traditionally, mochi are filled with a sweet ingredient like sweet bean paste or sweetened sesame paste. 

But at Miso Tasty we love to sprinkle a bit of Miso Tasty magic! 

Together, we made mochi filled with miso peanut butter for the ultimate tasty treat! We teamed up with Manilife to make our special New Year treat. 

We enjoyed our mochi in a warm sweet and spicy broth made from cane sugar and fresh ginger. 

Perfect for a Winters day, and a wonderful authentic way to cheer in the lunar new year! Its the Year of the Rabbit. 

Happy New Year and enjoy! 

Here's what you will need to make 10 mochi balls.

Author Bonnie Chung

Traditionally, mochi are filled with a sweet ingredient like sweet bean paste or sweetened sesame paste. But at Miso Tasty we love to sprinkle a bit of Miso Tasty magic!

Ingredients

• 500 g of glutinous rice flour
• xx ml of water

Filling

• 300 g peanut butter
• 100 g Miso Tasty White Miso Paste

For the hot broth

• XX ml of hot water
• XX g cane sugar
• XX g fresh ginger, peeled

Instructions

1. Make a dough using the flour and water, it should be soft and pliable and not too sticky. If it sticks to your fingers, add some extra flour.
2. Make the filling by mixing together miso paste and peanut butter
3. Pinch the size of a ping pong ball of dough and flatten with your thumb to create a crater to fill with the miso peanut butter filling.
4. Pick up the edges of the dough and bring together in the centre to roll back into the ping pong shape. Leave to rest under a kitchen towel to stay moist.
5. Complete this until you have used up all your dough,
6. In a large pan, heat up XXml of water, until a rolling boil and then add the sugar. Once dissolved, add the ginger and simmer for 15 minutes to release the flavour of the ginger.
7. Turn up the heat and add the mochi balls, but only enough to cover one layer in the saucepan.
8. Once the mochi is floating (takes about 5 minutes) they are ready to serve and eat. Take care, the centres get very hot, so bite into them carefully.
