How To Make Matcha Warabi Mochi At Home (Warabi Mochi With Green Tea Powder)
In our last recipe, we showed you how to make Warabi Mochi at home. If you're unfamiliar with warabi mochi, it's a Japanese confection made from warabi or bracken starch. In this recipe, we're going to show you how to make warabi mochi with matcha powder. It's the perfect recipe for matcha green tea lovers!
Typically, warabi mochi is coated in kinako powder, which is roasted soybean flour. Warabi mochi may not be so common outside of Japan, but it is such a delicious and easy-to-make dessert! It's also one of the best desserts to eat during summer.
Warabi mochi has a chewy and almost jelly-like texture and is served chilled. Because it is served cold, it is actually quite refreshing and can cool down the body on a hot summer day.
In the case of matcha warabi mochi, matcha powder is combined with kinako powder to create a uniquely nutty and earthy flavor. Once you drizzle kuromitsu (brown sugar) syrup over the top, you've got a perfectly harmonized dessert.
Since warabi mochi flour is hard to come by (even in Japan), we're going to use a version that consists of warabi and potato starches. We believe that this version is much easier to find in Japanese or Asian grocery stores. Of course, you can always buy it online too. If you can't find it, then you can also use Kudzu Arrowroot starch which we have available on our website.
We hope that you'll give this matcha version of warabi mochi a try, and let us know how it turns out! We hope this simple but yummy dessert will help you stay cool during the hot summer months!
