    This is so nostalgic for me. Here in Hawaii, Japanese American clans like mine find so much pride and togetherness in making mochi together. Every new year the kids always make mochi and the fun part is stuffing it with whatever you want like peanut butter and jelly! We still eat our ozoni together every single year. This video is awesome and inspires me as an adult to try new things.

    We have been making mochi for over 70 years. When you make the red bean daifuku, if you make a flat disk of mochi to wrap the red bean paste, when you fold the edges to form the bottom the mochi will bunch up and make a thick bottom as I see happened in your video. What we do is pinch the edges of the disk so the center of the disk is thicker. Then when you fold the thinner edges over to form the bottom, the mochi is be more even in thickness around the red bean paste.
    The ozoni we make is different from your two recipes in that we use pork in ours. It is one thing I look forward to every winter.

    For the ozoni, the mochi is supposed to be stretchy because that represents long life! (Or at least that's what my mom has always said). My grandmother used to make mochi with cheese wrapped in nori. Surprisingly delicious.

    I live in a really old castle town in Japan and the merchant my family bought 和菓子🍡sweets from for generations still delivers freshly made mochi on New Year’s Eve. It used to be a fun event as a child to cut the flat mochi that’s still slightly warm to the touch into smaller rectangles 😊

    For recipe #2, maybe you could put the soy sauce and sugar mixture in a spray bottle and spray the fried mochi pieces, but mix the soy sauce and sugar a little bit in advance so it has time to dissolve completely.

    Come to Bohol we have our version of pseudo-mochi called Calamay, its so goey and sticky that we use it as a jam for bread and pastries.

    Yeah, I hear your concerns, Sean. My dad has textural issues with mochi, but Mom and I love it in any form. My mom made it in many traditional ways, including roasting it in the broiler and dipping it in a sato-jyoyu mixture(sugar and soy sauce) , and okaki by frying cubes of it which puffed up a bit like popcorn (even Dad liked it that way).
    If you prepare it in a soup and it becomes gummy in texture, though, it means you left it in too long. Just like noodles, you have to keep an eye on it and it still should keep its shape somewhat even when it softens up. The number of mochi you put in shouldn’t take over the pot, or else you will end up with a gooey mass or gruel. The way I was taught (Mom is from Kyushu) is better to limit the number in the pot (1 or 2 at the most per person) and take it out and serve immediately after it becomes the consistency you want. (Basically, you treat it like a bowl of udon or ramen in terms of submerging it in soup in a bowl before adding the rest.)
