Ingredients
- 1 cup Mochigome sweet rice *1
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup anko sweet azuki bean paste *2
- 2 tbsp Kinako soybean powder
- 1½ tbsp sugar *3
- pinch salt
- 2 tbsp roasted black sesame seeds *4
- 1½ tbsp sugar *3
- pinch salt
Instructions
- Soak the glutinous rice in water(not listed in the ingredients list) for one hour. This will help soften the rice and make it easier to cook in a rice cooker.
- Drain the water from the rice and transfer it to a rice cooker with 200ml water. Follow your rice cooker directions, but in general press "start" to cook.
- While waiting for the rice to cook, prepare your sweetened bean paste filling (if you haven't already made it in advance). You can use store-bought red bean paste (anko) or make your own by following my recipe.
- Divide the anko into 4 little balls of equal amount and set aside.
- Once the rice has cooked, let the rice cool down slightly so that you can handle it without burning yourself.
- Scoop 50g of rice onto a small bowl lined with plastic wrap. Shape it into a barrel shape. 50g will be for Kinako and Black sesame ohagi but use 30g for anko wrapped ohagi to make it similar in size. It should make 6 x 50g rice balls and 4 x 30g rice balls.
- Flatten out one anko that you made in step 3 on to plastic wrap in your palm, then place a rice ball on top of the anko.
- Wrap the rice ball with the anko carefully, making sure that all side are covered completely.
- For Kinako (roasted soybean flour), mix soybean powder with sugar and pinch of salt. Spread it onto a flat tray. Roll rice balls on the kinako powder.
- For Black Sesame seeds, roast the black sesame seed in a frying pan till it produces an aroma. Grind the roasted black sesame seeds in a mortar. Combine with sugar and salt and spread it on to a flat tray. Roll rice balls on the ground black sesame seeds.
Notes
- *1 or 200g mochigome sweet rice
- *2 or 180g, if you are making from scratch see this recipe
- *3 I used cane sugar, but ordinary white sugar is fine too.
- *4 If it is not roasted, roast it in a frying pan first.
