About a month ago Brandee shared half of a mochi with me. Co-worker Jason's mother-in-law had made it and instead of the usual an filling inside, it had peanuts and coconut. I loved it so much I went online to see if I could find a recipe so that I could make it myself. I found this recipe for microwave mochi called Nor Mai Chi and it looked simple enough. It wasn't simple. It was hard, hard, hard. Or to be more exact . . . it was hot, hot, hot. It's ono, though - chewy, how I like it.
After all my effort, I thought I'd better get at least one good shot of my best piece, so here it is.

You mix together 3 c. mochiko, 1 can coconut milk, 1/2 c. water (I added 1/4 c. more 'cause it seemed too thick) and 1/2 c. sugar.

After the microwave goes "ping" you let the dough rest for about 5 minutes. Then you pour it out onto your Silpat (and if you don't have one, go get one right now 'cause it's the best nonstick surface ever invented - Longs sometimes has it on sale for $15) and roll into a log. Now, this is the hard part 'cause it's sooo hot and you gotta work fast and you try take pictures at the same time.
