Mochi (餅?) is a Japanese rice cake made of glutinous rice (not to be confused with gluten) pounded into paste and molded into the desired shape. In Japan it is traditionally made in a ceremony called mochitsuki.[1] While also eaten year-round, mochi is a traditional food for the Japanese New Year and is commonly sold and eaten during that time.
I found one of my friends make Mochi waffles one time and since then I have always wanted to make them, since it is a gluten free meal. I have yet to find the rice cake to actually make the waffles but I actually found flavored Mochi at Tutti Frutti Frozen Yogurt yesterday. I was so excited to see the rice cake because it meant I was getting closer to my goal. Yeah!
It tastes just like it sounds, a puffy rice cake or like a rice gum drop.
