Kudzu Mochi Modoki - Arrowroot Mochi Style Soymilk Jello

Easy to make Japanese style gelatine dessert. I used jelly made with Soymilk instead of Kudzu (or Kuzu) Mochi, molasses instead of Kuro Mitsu (Japanese style brown sugar syrup).


What I used (Makes 4 servings):
  • 2 envelopes KNOX unflavored gelatine
  • 1/2 cup cold soymilk
  • 1 1/2 cup soymilk, heated to boiling
  • 1/2 cup of unsweetened Kinako (click for the recipe)
  • 1/4 cup of molasses

Directions:
  1. Sprinkle gelatin over 1/2 cup of soymilk in a small container or bowl and let stand 1 minute. Add hot soymilk and stir until gelatin completely dissolves, about 5 minutes.
  2. Refrigerate until firm, about 3 hours. Cut into 1-inch squares.
  3. Devide jelly cubes into four dishes. Sprinkle unsweetened Kinako and molasses over the cubes to your liking.
"It taste like sweets grandma serves at her house in Japan!" is my daughter's comment. You can use green tea or coffee in place of soymilk for variations.
