After watching I Survived a Japanese Game Show on ABC (which we loved) R.D. decided to try to make mochi balls. This took several weeks because we needed to find glutinous-rice flour... we could not find this ingredient ANYWHERE. I just let it go hoping he would too, but several weeks went by and he asked about the flour again. My good friend Catherine was going to China town, so I asked her to hunt down this mysterious ingredient. Seems like now a days everyone is trying to get away from gluten, but not us... bring on the gluten! After working the batter into what looked like gum R.D. rolled the balls into chopped peanuts. The balls were gummy, but not sticky so the peanuts did not stick. I must say this was R.D. biggest failure... I think. We don't really have a reference of what mochi balls are supposed to taste like... so either the mochi in general are really gross or the recipe just failed badly. Enjoy the picture of R.D.'s face when trying the mochi.
