I googled and stumbled upon this Mochi recipe that requires wheat starch and the method is slightly different from the norm. As it looked pretty simple and easy enough, I set out to try as I've some wheat starch sitting in the pantry. I could envisage a disaster looming when the dough was so wet and gluey and as there was excess glutinous rice flour, fortunately, I loaded in an extra 3 ounces before the dough became pliable enough to work with. Phew ..... that was close! Oh, you must be wondering what are those 'Bunga Telang' doing in the picture above. For decor? Yes, it was one of the ingredients that I used to make these Mochi, but alas, their bluish colour was not overpowering enough, hence the end result was Mochi with a very faint shade of grey!
Just a short introduction about these 'Bunga Telang' .... they do resemble the Morning Glory and while Bunga Telang is in Malay, it's Butterfly Pea ~ Clitoria Ternatea in English. This is a perennial creeper, thrives well on moist soil and requires a lot of sunshine. The colour from this flower acts as a natural blue dye or colouring for cakes and Malay kueh. Do hop over to 'Wikipedia' if you want to know more about this marvellous flower!
