@Kittengirl
I don’t advise storing mochi in the fridge. It def changes the texture. Eat it as soon as possible!

Hi, what great pics to show the steps! I wanted to try making peanut butter & jelly, nutella, and lemon curd (like the ones from SimplyMochi.com, looks yummy!). These can be stored in the refrigerator too, can’t they?

@Lei Yes, you need to pull and fill the mochi when it’s burning hot! It will keep for 2-3 days in an airtight container. It depends on the weather though, if it’s too hot or there’s too much moisture in the air it won’t last more than a day.

Howzit…love your sense of humour. How long does the
mochi stay fresh? Do you have to eat it right away or can it be “stored” for 3-4 days? Also I take it that it has to be worked when it’s HOT…right?

Mahalo, Lei

So glad to have found your site! It’s amazing! I have one ? about the Mochi. My family loves it baked with soy sauce and sugar, old school! Where I live you can buy the Mochi in little blocks in the frig section. Can you make this kind of Mochi at home? Like,…the fresh Mochi you make, can you bake it? Just wondering? It’s so expensive and I would love to be able to make it at home if possible? I just made a batch of the sweet soft kind tonight. Thanks again for your site! I’ve had fun looking at everything tonight!

@Annie You can halve the recipe but I recommend filling it right away. Once you add potato starch and the mochi starts to cool down it will start to crust. It will be much harder to fill later.

I have two questions. 1) I should be able to halve the recipe easily, right?
2) How soon do I have to start filling the mochi? I wanted to make the mochi and have kids fill their own at a party. Wrapping the mocha air tight would be good enough? Do you have any suggestions?

I made mochi, had to use the microwave method as doing it in a pan on the hob ended up as a big ball of gloop!

my g-ma used to make these, freeze them, and then cross the pacific with them. by the time she got here, they’d be perfectly thawed. mmm. perhaps one day i will attempt them at home. or just go to mitsuwa/marukai/wherever.
