Recipe: at dinner Tofu Mochi Delicious, fresh and tasty.

Tofu Mochi. Traditionally, mochi is high in carbohydrates as it is made from rice, glutinous rice or glutinous rice flour. However, with this tofu mochi recipe, the addition of tofu (soybean curd) adds protein to an otherwise high carbohydrate food. Note, the addition of tofu slightly changes the texture of the mochi, making it more dense and chewy.

Great recipe for Tofu Mochi. 'Mochi' is Japanese rice cake made of short-grain glutinous rice.

It is similar to 'Dango' but the texture is a lot more rubbery and gooey.

Technically, a rice cake is a type of dough that's made with pounded steamed rice.

Preparing and eating mochi is tied to many vital Japanese traditions, such as the Japanese New Year's celebration, and is rooted in the deep significance of rice in Japanese culture.

Fry in batches if necessary so as not to overcrowd the pot.

Place fried tofu in a serving dish and pour sauce on top.

The only reason why we add tofu in the copycat pon de ring recipes is to make sure the glutinous rice flour (shiratamako or mochiko) does not become too firm the next day.
