"As viscous as motor oil swirled in a swamp, redolent of burnt bell peppers nested in by incontinent mice and a finish reminiscent of the dregs of a stale can of Coca-Cola that someone has been using as an ashtray. Not a bad drink, though."--Excerpt from "The Moose Turd Wine Tasting" by T. A. Nonymous

Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
1 cup mochiko sweet rice flour (glutinous rice flour)
1 cup water
1⁄4 -1 cup sugar
katakuriko, for dusting (potato starch)(I use mochiko)
2-3 drops food coloring (optional)
Flavorings (I like vanilla)
Fillings (ice cream, red bean paste, chocolate, etc.)
Directions:
Directions:
Mix mochiko and sugar in a bowl.
Add water and mix thoroughly. (will be watery).
Put in a microwaveable dish. Cover with plastic wrap.
Microwave on high for 4-5 minutes. Take off plastic wrap. Stir to cool a minute. (I now dump the blob of matter on a bed of rice flour and dust the surface lightly with rice flour to make it easier to cut.) Cut. Serve. Cool completely and store covered in the refrigerator. Keeps about a week.
Opt. Dust with katakuriko or kinako to prevent mochi from sticking everywhere. If you don't have these, you can just put the mochi on cellophane.
Variations for Filling: You can add red bean paste, ice cream, chocolate, etc. in the middle if you want BEFORE you dust. add a teaspoon of filling and pinch edges closed.
Variations for Dough: Add a few drops of food coloring into batter for color variation. A few drops of flavoring (strawberry, grape, orange, blueberry, etc.) may also be added. >> For chocolate flavor, stir about 1/4 cup melted chocolate chips into mochi batter before cooking.
