I made mochi.
My red bean paste seems less than ideal, and I think that forming the filling first was a bad idea; the outside is really very sticky, and I tried to make them too big. I'll know next time. Next time, I'll follow advice given elsewhere, and just drop teaspoons of mixture in,rather than forming balls.
Also, if I can't find red bean paste in tins, I''ll use sweetened chestnut puree.
But I love mochi, so there will be a next time.
