This was a good recipe~ I love the red bean paste and the sweet mochiko...The mochiko was really sticky and I would recommend putting either potato starch or mochiko flour over your hands before using hands to roll them into balls. -
I really did like these and they tasted naturally sweet and delicious. It was only the fact that the mochi acted like superglue that made me give it 3 stars. I eventually figured out that if I oiled my hands, it wouldn't stick so badly.
