What is mochi?
Mochi is a traditional Japanese rice cake made from glutinous rice, known for its signature chewy texture. This pan-fryable version with black sesame filling offers a modern twist on a classic, ready in minutes with minimal preparation.
Black sesame – a unique filling:
Highly valued in Japanese sweets, black sesame delivers a deep, slightly smoky flavor and a smooth, naturally sweet paste. Its rich, nutty profile contrasts beautifully with the neutral, elastic rice dough.
Flavor and texture:
Once pan-fried, the mochi forms a light golden crust while remaining soft and stretchy inside. The creamy black sesame filling adds bold flavor, making every bite a satisfying blend of subtle sweetness and roasted richness.
How to prepare:
- Pan-fry on a dry skillet for a few minutes on each side
- Alternatively: bake or grill until puffed and lightly crisp
- Enjoy on its own or with a drizzle of syrup (like kuromitsu) and a cup of tea
Perfect for:
- A warm, relaxing tea-time snack
- A quick and unique Japanese-style dessert
- An everyday moment of indulgence
