Which flour should I use?
Glutinous rice flour It is the key to the sticky elastic plot in Mochi. Since they are made with sweet rice, they are also known as sweet rice flour or sweet rice powder rice.
For this specific Mochi recipe, search Type “wet (or water) ground” which gives a smoother consistency in the Mochi. This type of glutinous rice flour is super fine and silky because the cereals have been immersed before being ground.
Check the link on the list of ingredients below to see what I use in the United States, or you can also use Japanese shiratamako which is made with the same grinding process.
American brands such as Mochiko Blue Star or Bob’s Red Mill Sweet Rice Flour are braked dry and have a more coarse consistency. They are not ideal for this recipe and will create shelled and pasta Mochi balls.
White/ integral rice flour cannot be used as a replacement in this recipe because it will give a completely different consistency.
