Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 15 mins
Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: Japanese
Serves: 4 waffles
Ingredients
- 1 cup sweet rice flour (mochi flour)
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese
- 1 green onion, chopped
- Cooking spray or oil for greasing
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine sweet rice flour and salt, whisking together to ensure even distribution.
- Gradually add water to the flour mixture, stirring continuously to create a smooth, thick batter without any lumps.
- Fold in the shredded cheese and chopped green onions, mixing gently to distribute evenly throughout the batter.
- Preheat your waffle iron and lightly grease the surfaces with cooking spray or brush with oil to prevent sticking.
- Pour the mochi batter into the center of the waffle iron, using about 1/4 of the total batter for each waffle.
- Close the waffle iron and cook for 4-5 minutes, or until the mochi waffle turns golden brown and develops crispy edges.
- Carefully remove the waffle using a heat-resistant spatula, placing it on a wire rack to prevent sogginess.
- Repeat the process with remaining batter, re-greasing the waffle iron between each waffle.
- Serve immediately while warm and crispy, optionally garnishing with additional chopped green onions.
Tips
- Use fresh, high-quality sweet rice flour (mochi flour) for the best texture and flavor.
- Whisk the batter thoroughly to avoid any lumps, which can create uneven cooking.
- Preheat your waffle iron completely before adding batter to ensure crispy edges.
- Don't overfill the waffle iron - start with less batter and adjust as you go.
- Let the waffles rest on a wire rack for a moment to maintain crispiness.
- Experiment with different cheese varieties like sharp cheddar or gruyère for unique flavor profiles.
- If the batter seems too thick, add a little more water to achieve the right consistency.
- Clean and re-grease the waffle iron between each waffle to prevent sticking.
- Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor experience.
