We love mochi, especially Chi Chi Dango!  Marukai's Mochi Micro-Baker makes it fast and easy to make delicious Chi Chi Dango!  It's one of our favorite gadgets! 

Strawberry Chi Chi Dango made with Marukai's Mochi Micro-Baker

Chi Chi Dango Recipe (for use with Micro-Baker)

1-1/2 cups mochiko (sweet rice flour)
1 cup sugar
1-1/2 cups water
2 Tablespoons Nesquik (optional, for strawberry flavor)
katakuriko (potato starch)

Mix together mochiko, sugar, and water in large bowl.  Add strawberry nesquik powder, if desired.  Pour the mixture into greased micro-baker.  Bake in microwave oven for 5 minutes on high (100% power), then 2 minutes on medium (50% power).  After cooled, cut with plastic knife* and roll in katakuriko.

*Please note:  Using the plastic knife is very important.  It makes it really easy to cut the mochi.

  1. Thanks!!! Wow! Your recipe was very easy and really quick!!! My mom wanted to order her Okinawan Nantu mochi for New Years but forgot to. So. Googled and found your recipe, close enough I figured!! Lol! I unfortunately didn't see your recipe until an hour ago, or I would have run over to Marukai to get the mochi micro-baker. i ended up using a glass square Pyrex pan and it came out great! Happy 2017!!

  2. Hello, do you know where I can find the mochi micro baker? I've checked with Marukai and they do not have it in-store or online. I am writing from San Diego. Thank you.
