You can find Mochiko Rice Flour in the Asian sections or in Asian grocer, often times you'll find the Aloha Soy sauce there too.

This sounds terrific and I love the ginger.
I am printing this one out to try this week.
Five forks and a smile :)


Sounds great, never heard of monchiko flour here in Belgium, I supose regular rice flour would work or is there something else in the mochiko ?


Mochicko is Japanese Rice Flour I dont know what the difference would be with regular rice flour if any. If the rice flour you have there is similar in consistancy to cornstarch, then I assume is should work. Give it a try and let us know :)
Thanks,

Great recipe, it took us years to find a market that sells Aloha Shoyu anywhere close. 60 miles is close, right? Thank you for posting this, we will give it a try.
