Instructions
- Add anko, water, and salt to a small saucepan and bring to a boil to make the red bean soup.
- Cut kiri mochi into half.
- Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Place the mochi pieces onto the pan and cook for 3 minutes or until slightly golden brown.
- Flip the mochi pieces over to cook the other side for 3 minutes and make sure the inside is soft.
- Serve the soup in a small bowl and place the mochi on top.
Notes
- Mochi should be enjoyed with caution as a potential choking hazard, especially for the elderly and small children. Cut the mochi into small pieces and chew very well when eating.
- Serve immediately. If mochi is left out for too long, it can become dry and lose its soft texture.
- You can use a grill pan, toaster oven, regular oven, or microwave for cooking mochi. See "Various Ways To Cook Mochi" for more information.
- You can adjust the sweetness and thickness of the soup to your liking by adding more or less water.
