What I’ll do Next TimeĪlthough I’m pretty glad that I managed to successfully make the mochi muffins, even with all the substitutions and changes, there are a few things that I can do next time to make it even better: The chocolate ended up playing really well with the green tea and I’ll probably be adding chocolate chips to all future mochi muffins. Surprisingly, the chocolate versions were the most popular. In fact, a few people even asked me if I could make it less sweet, so I may try cutting down to one cup next time. The tangyuan flour made it denser and slightly less chewy than what it would have been if I used actual glutinous rice flour, but i was still pretty chewy! Everyone liked the texture and most people thought that the sweetness level was just right. Here are my green tea mochi muffins right out of the oven: The first batch was plain, but the batches after that all had mini chocolate chips in them. The second was that I added chocolate chips.

The rest of the ingredients were, thankfully, much easier to get ahold of.Īpart from the flour and green tea, the I only made two changes to the recipe. It’s probably not glutinous rice flour, but the back did say that it could be used to make mochi and I figured that this was the closest substitute that I could get. I thought it would be pretty easy to get, since it’s used in Chinese cooking as well, but I visited three supermarkets and one Japanese food street (that had katakuriko and other flours, just not mochiko) over three days and only found this: The hardest part of making these turned out to be getting the glutinous rice flour. (I realised that the name is “cupcakes” but I’ve been calling them muffins the whole time so muffins they shall be) ![]() ![]() But when I saw this recipe for Matcha Mochi Cupcakes from Tiny Urban Kitchen, I realised that this was the perfect way to use up some of the green tea. ![]() We have other green teas that we prefer so this doesn’t come out much. I’ve been trying to figure out what to do with Tafu’s Green Tea Powder because both my sister and I stopped drinking it after a while.
