Kinako Mochi Recipe - Japanese Rice Cake covered with Soy Bean Powder

These are Kinako Mochi made with my whole wheat Mochi!


You just cover Maru-Mochi (round rice cake) while they are still moist and soft with Kinako (soy bean powder with sugar). I would like to keep mochi in a dish full of powder for about 1 to 2 hours and roll them occasionally. With the moisture from Mochi, Kinako makes a nice thin paste over mochi this way!

I have recipes for Mochi and Kinako in separate blogs.
