Jump to RecipeWhat is mochi? It’s gelatinous, stretchy and chewy. Maybe like a smash clash between a gummy bear and a marshmallow.
But really, mochi is a Japanese sweet rice dough. Popularised these days as the mochi texture, it can be done by adding glutinous flour in baking.

For this recipe, I replaced standard flour with glutinous flour in the brownie recipe, giving it the chewiness. The rising of the baking soda really left a trail inside the brownie, the structure reminding me of the texture in the Malaysian honeycomb cake, which has similar bouncy touch! A perk of using glutinous flour is that it’s also gluten free.
