Tiffanie eats through the good, bad, & trash-worthy

 The Original

While mochi wrapped around ice cream is a brilliant idea, there’s something to be said about the “original” mochi - subtly sweet rice paste that sticks to your teeth as you bite into the center that’s filled with a sweet red bean paste.

Mochi comes filled with red bean paste, ground peanuts and coconut, yellow bean paste, etc… and can be found at Asian supermarkets and even some dimsum restaurants.

Personally I find making mochi tedious because the dough is incredibly sticky and hard to shape. This is one thing I’m leaving to the professionals.
