This was absolutely delicious.

Was, and is! Kudos!

Wow, I live on the 800 block of Royal St and I knew nothing about this. I'll definitely be there now.

This sounds intriguing.

@dmarina: Waffle makers aren't necessarily 'unitaskers'. I have an old Sunbeam waffle maker that I got as a wedding present...OVER 25 years ago...and it has 'revolving' plates, which turn from waffle to flat sides. It still works just like new. I've been making 'pannini' longer than they've been popular, LOL! Anyway, I use this iron for SO MANY things. I reckon I've used it at LEAST twice a week since I've owned it. I doubt it was very expensive to start with, but wow, nothing made these days would still be working after all this time. (In fact, when my kids were going through their respective 'I don't want anything but grilled cheese' phases, I must have used it 4 times a day for about 2 years) So, this will be its next test. It sure sounds good, I have loved mochi since I first tasted it in Japan over 15 years ago. In fact, I spent 3 months there, and nearly cried when it was time to come home, as I knew I wasn't going to be able to find the ingredients I would need once I was back home. This was before the 'sushi' craze hit the US. I would gladly eat Japanese food 3X a day every day of the year, though I can't, cos even though I CAN find most of the ingredients now, I can't afford them every day. I 'settle' for once or twice a week. (But, I DO use Japanese 'techniques' for many of the foods I cook.)
Anyway, I intend to try this tomorrow.

This is a great recipe. Note that it will require some additional salt, whether granulated or as soy sauce. That aside, excellent recipe.

Thank you for posting this! Spicy ketchup is my favorite thing in the whole world. I love the Wholemato Agave Spicy Ketchup. Have you tried it? Totally delicious!!

My boyfriend laughs at me because ever since we've discovered it, I will find an excuse to eat it with just about anything. The other day he walked in the kitchen and I was doing that little shuffle thing trying to kind of hide what I had out in front of me....only it was too late...he discovered my carrot dipped in ketchup. Oops. But, so GOOD!

I like one part Búfalo Picante Clasica added to one part Trader Joe's Organic Ketchup as a spicy ketchup. It's also great as part of a cocktail sauce.

@RachelDP - I'm also a fan of "Srirachup."
