subsitute for mochiko?

Hey everyone!

I’m looking for a substitute for mochiko, which is a Japanese product described as “sweet rice flour”. The stores here used to carry the tried and true Blue Star brand, but no longer. I have tried using a Vietnamese product which matched the description (sweet rice flour). It’s texture seemed indefinably different, and it didn’t smell the same. I tried to make a dual-layer baked mochi in a pan, like you might get for Girl’s Day (at least in Hawaii)- your typical coconut milk, mochiko, sugar, baking powder recipe. It never failed me before. It failed, to say the least. Inedible, disgusting mass!

So- given I cannot get ‘real’ mochiko here, is there anything I can use as a decent substitute? Like I stated above, I tried a Vietnamese alternative and that was a definite no-go.

Any ideas?

Thank you in advance,

BB

No idea, but the solution may be to mail order it. They have it one unit, or case lots. How much were you planning on making :dubious:
