GREEN TEA MOCHI ICE CREAM
I've had mochi many times in restaurants and have always been fascinated by its unique combination of taste and texture; but I had absolutely no clue how it was done. I basically still don't, but regardless, this was my first attempt and I look forward to lots of criticism.

Steps:
- Remove and discard the top half of a cardboard egg carton. Line 10 of the cups in the bottom half of the egg carton with plastic wrap.
- Scoop ice cream into 10 prepared egg carton cups. Cover scoops with plastic wrap and freeze until very firm, at least 2 hours.
- Stir rice flour, water, and salt together in a microwave-safe bowl; add sugar and stir until completely smooth. Whisk green tea powder into rice flour mixture.
- Cover the rice flour mixture bowl with plastic wrap; microwave for 2 minutes. Stir rice flour mixture, re-cover the bowl with plastic wrap, and microwave until mochi dough is thick and sticky, about 1 1/2 minutes more.
- Lightly dust a work surface with cornstarch. Turn mochi dough out on prepared work surface. Roll dough into a 1/8-inch thick rectangle; cut dough into 10 equal squares.
- Remove ice cream balls from plastic wrap. Place 1 ice cream ball in the center of 1 mochi dough square. Gather mochi dough together to cover the ice cream ball completely, pinch the edges together at the base, and cut off any excess dough. Repeat with remaining ice cream and dough squares.
- Tightly cover each mochi ball in plastic wrap and place in egg carton, seam-side down. Freeze until firm, about 2 hours.

GREEN TEA MOCHI
A tasteful, and easy-to-make spin-off of the "Apricot Mochi" recipe posted by Seb on this site. The presentation of the mochi itself is not very appealing, but it can be dressed up by wrapping pieces in a leaf (as described in the last step), or you can maybe dust potato starch around it. The edges can also be cut since they will be a harder crust.

Steps:
- Combine mochiko, sugar, gelatin, and maccha in a large bowl and mix.

- Pour into a 9x13" greased pan.
- Cover tightly with foil and bake at 350F for 55 minutes.
- Cool with cover on for 15 minutes.
- Remove Foil and cool for several hours before cutting.
- Cut out outer hardened portion of the mochi, and then cut into 32 squares.
- Optional step: Place 1/2 teaspoon of red bean paste in the middle of each square, fold square into triangle and press on the sides.
- Optional step: To improve presentation and add a bit of taste, soak 32 Oak or Sakura leaves in water, drain, and wrap around mochi pieces (dull side facing outside).
Tips:
- Use high-quality green tea powder for the best flavor. Matcha is a good choice.
- Make sure the mochi dough is soft and pliable before shaping it. If it's too sticky, add more cornstarch.
- Be careful not to overcook the mochi. It should be cooked through but still slightly chewy.
- Serve the mochi immediately or store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
