Cookingdom Level 59: Mochi

Mochi Stage Walkthrough Guide

Step 1: Make the Rice Dough

• Sprinkle water into the wooden bucket filled with rice flour dough.
• Continuously tap the dough with your finger to pound it with the mallet.
• When the surface dries, add water again — repeat this 3 times.
• Once smooth, move the dough into the wooden tray above.

Step 2: Prep Ingredients

• Pound the mugwort leaves into powder with the long wooden pestle and move it into a bowl.
• Crack 4 eggs into the upper-right bowl and whisk them clockwise until blended.

Step 3: Make Strawberry Jam

• Slice strawberries in half and put them into the central bowl.
• Add sugar and stir with a wooden spatula.
• Transfer to a pot, cover, turn on the stove, and cook until jam is done.

Step 4: Make Chocolate Sauce

• Slide a knife over the chocolate bar to break it into small chunks.
• Put chocolate pieces into the pot, cover, turn on the stove, and cook until melted.

Step 5: Make Red Bean Paste

• Scoop red beans from the sack, rinse them in water, and move to a bowl.
• Grind the beans in a food processor.
• Transfer to a pot, turn on the stove, and cook into red bean paste.

Step 6: Make Colored Mochi

• Cut the rice dough into six pieces.
• Color them by adding mugwort powder, chocolate sauce, red bean paste, egg yolk, and strawberry jam respectively.
• Place the six colored doughs onto the long wooden tray.
• Stuff each dough ball with matching fillings (egg yolk, chocolate, strawberry jam, etc.) by placing filling in the center and tapping to wrap it up.

Step 7: Decoration & Finish

• Decorate the mochi: white = panda, pink = pig, green = frog, yellow = chick, brown = bear, red = puppy.
• Sprinkle white sugar over them.
• Finally, lift the teapot and fill the teacup with tea.
• Stage cleared — beautiful, zen-like Mochi complete!
