Dessert

We know Japan for its delicious dishes that we love so much (gyozas, ramen or even bento), but what about the pastries? Today we are going to discover mochi, small sweets often served at tea ceremonies and naturally gluten-free, made from glutinous rice flour, sugar and water. We chose to stuff them with peanut butter for maximum indulgence, but you are free to be creative with the topping! :-) Follow our step by step recipe below ↓
