Mochi is a sweet made from rice, which is pounded until it forms a kind of sticky goo, a bit like that white PVA glue you used to get at school. |

Mochi has a heterogeneous structure of amylopectin gel, starch grains, and air bubbles. |

After cooking, everyone will be able to enjoy some mochi and try to tenderize some glutinous rice. |
|
Dango are related to mochi in that both are made from glutinous rice flour. Dango, however, tend to be dense, sticky, and not stuffed with fillings. |
