The taste was good, but I didn’t have a waffle iron so I tried making it in a pan and it got very stuck to the pan so that I had to wash it every single time. Then to make it a little bit easier to cook I decided to try to steam it and I actually like that result better. It was like an Asian style. . It was like a Asian style kind of sponge Matcha cake.

Hi Carl! I’m so sorry it didn’t work for you! Mochi is naturally very sticky, so even though my waffle iron is nonstick, I make sure to spray it with Pam or other oil. If that doesn’t work, check your waffle iron to see if the nonstick surface is worn out or damaged. And if THAT doesn’t work, you may need to adjust the cooking time; it could be over or undercooked. Let me know if any of those tweaks help!

Hi there! Mainly because I enjoy how it tastes, but also because it’s nice for people who are vegan or have egg allergies. But you can add an egg if you like!
