In today’s episode, Dark_Sage attempts to make the secret Japanese breakfast cuisine “mochi”. Translated into English, these are “glutinous rice cakes of mochigome”. Let’s see how he did!
Try it yourself! Today’s recipe comes from an onee-chan (Japanese for elder spirit).
Oh Mochi – A Recipe

1/4 cup water
Some sugar
Saran wrap
Bowl
Directions
1. Mix everything but the saran wrap in the bowl.

The verdict?

Being a weeb is hard daijoubu (that means don’t worry for you newcomers ^_^)
DON MAIND!
Shouldn’t you hit that thing with, like, a hammer or something? Isn’t that what Moon Usagi-san does?
I used my teeth, so maybe that counts?
Sasuga!
I thought putting plastic wrap in the microwave was a no-go similar to putting metal inside.
My experiment when I was 12 and wanted one of those putty erasers:
– put one eraser on a plate
– put plate in microwave
– watch the smoke in awe
– discover that the eraser is now as hard as stone
I’m a genius

It should be fine. Though I don’t think it would be smart to melt the plastic onto the food.
It’s because you forgot to mix the saran wrap into the mixture! Baka D_S sensei >w<
why didn’t you record it with your amazing go pro underwater camera
don’t you know that d_s-sama thinks underwater (especially daiz) is shit
I just think they have little worth as human beings. Their subs are generally fine.
I had considered it, but I didn’t have a plan for how to do it in an enjoyable fashion, so it woulda ended poorly.
So…
Who ate it?
You should do a cooking anime or something, by the way. xD
Very talented.
Me. It had the right consistency but not enough flavor to make it worth having more than a few bites.
Nobody eats it plain. Add some sweet red bean/sesame paste or dust it with peanut powder and sugar.
I don’t think those things exist in Minnesota.
peanuts and sweet red beans? try the biggest food market in your area.
Meh. If I wanted to eat peanuts I’d just grab a Reese’s.
Dostedt? D_S is sugoi desu. *~*

You’re not supposed to use the microwave…
Gotta admit, making “glutinous rice cakes of mochigome” the right way is effort, though.
Also not supposed to use rice flour with Chinese, Vietnamese, and ??? languages on it :(
Allow a real Japanese to teach you how to make mochi:
1. Take rice into a bowl along with whatever ingridients needed.
2. Use something to continue to smash the rice and don’t forget flower.
3. Continue to beat it up until it looks remotely mochi like.
4. Put it into oven and let the top part rise.
I honestly forgot how to make real mochi since kindergarten… but I’m pretty sure that’s how you make home made mochi.
Sounds like it’d take longer than 3 minutes.
