Made some mochi for the first time today :>...

#theGalley

some pieces of freshly-made mochi laying on parchment paper, and sprinkled with fine white dust.

@rek Exciting, looks great! Watching a group of people hammer away at rice on Itsukuahima to make mochi was wonderful but may have skewed my impression of how practical it'd be to make at home.

@tbsp i assumed it was impractical too, it's why I've put off making it for so long.
I crushed the cooked rice with a potato masher, then used a bowl and a pestle to get it to the very sticky state. It takes a lot of muscle and time :>... and makes a giant mess (mochi rice is like glue).

@rek Sounds exhausting and rewarding!
