To burn it off
Mochi is glutinous rice pounded into a soft, stretchy cake. In Japan it is the food of New Year: grilled, dropped into ozoni soup, or stacked as kagami mochi on the home altar.
One plain mochi is about 115 kcal, with 25 g of carbs, 2 g of protein and no fat to speak of. Two are 230.
The sweet mochi you know from shops, with red bean paste or ice cream inside, are a different count, because the filling adds sugar and sometimes fat.
Tips
- 1Grill one and eat it with a little soy sauce and nori. It is very filling for 115.
- 2Cut it smaller and chew slowly, which you should do with mochi anyway.
