Bacon Wrapped Mochi

Bacon Wrapped Mochi

This mouthwatering treat of Bacon Wrapped Mochi mixes the rich tastes of bacon in a unique way with the subdued chewiness of mochi. A great tactile contrast results from soft inside and crispy on the surface wrapping strips of crispy bacon around mochi. The salted, smokey taste of the bacon emphasizes the mellow, soothing taste of the mochi, therefore creating a basic but pleasing snack.

Mochi: A Year-Round Japanese Pleasure

Though it's a fixture of New Year festivities in Japan, mochi is also eaten all year long in several varieties. We make mochi from crushing glutinous rice into a sticky, silky paste then shaping it into several forms. It is a classic Japanese rice cake. One of the most flexible ingredients in Japanese cuisine. With its soft, chewy texture, mochi may be utilized in sweet and savory recipes including soups, desserts, and more.
