This was
Yomogi Mochi - Japanese rice cake mixed
Yomogi or
Artemisia princeps (Japanese Mugwort) filled with Azuki, sweeten red beans,
again!
It's a spring time, meaning a
Yomogi Mochi season. I was glad I still had enough dried
Yomogi powder that my mother sent me last year. I also had all other ingredients in hand. Before this summer comes, Let's make some
Yomogi Mochi!
Handling freshly steamed
Mochi was so hot and sticky as usual, but I had to quickly make
Mochi balls before they get dry. I managed it anyway with a lot of fun.
It's my privilege to taste one (or two) that was still warm and very soft. The moment was heaven...
