On this episode of the Kitchen Gadget Test Show, host Esther Choi tests out two different mochi-making machines to see if the compare to hand-made versions.
Well she’s almost always well dressed. S1 Ep17 for contrast.
Sounds like someone wants Ian to pound them. Mount her Ian and pound that vag.
I’d love to pound her
It's not mowchi! It's mochi! With an "o" like in "lot" or "pop" or "stock"!
Are you supposed to be using the large impeller for the Zojirushi? We bought it and trying it the first time, it's behaving just like the Tiger one is, just vibrating the rice and not rotating. o_o
Most of the videos on this channel are more chaos experimentation than actual product education.
You have no idea of what you're doing! What a joke.
Oooooor just go to your local asian super market and buy a pack of em.
How different is Japanese mochi from Korean Garae-tteok?
the Japanese machine above comes with JAPANESE instructions ONLY. One cannot tell how much water or rice to put in it (unless you read Japanese) . Neither cant make out how to prep the rice (if needed to prep), type of rice, etc.
and more: it only comes as 100V, whereas in America, the voltage is 120V. So, one has to buy a separated step-down transformer to bring the 120V (USA) down to 100V(Japanese). Transformer = 35US$.
I love this kinda Mochi,..fried,..served with shoyu with some sugar. tried to make mochi twice at home, with arm power, hammer style. Got really tired. I can't leave without Mochi..so I just bought da machine. thanks.
Why does Mochi even exist?!
Can I make rice noodle with this?
400 $ for a machine that is making some shitty , gummi …something! jUST GO AND BUY YOURSELF A BOX OF THE BEST PRALINE ! You will save at least 300 bucks
you can always blend water + sticky rice and then microwave for a few minutes, then open the door, give it a mix and then back for some more minutes. Saved you 400 bucks
I missed the Pounding Party?
Well looks like nikky from tasty
Ian can pound me. Thank you.
this isn’t the traditional recipe for mochi though, right? in my culture, we have a treat called ncuav (gua) where we make it using the same two methods of either beating my hand or rolling it in a machine, then put them into circles to dry and later bake to make a crunchy and chewy hot snack that is paired with syrup or honey.
Damn. She's cute 🙂
One of the first gadgets to pass the test!
The title should be which machine is better at making mochi
Couldn’t you just steam the rice and use a bread maker or a mixer with a paddle on it
I've been watching mochi maker videos all month. Was stoked when this popped up in my recommended. Your voice sounds a lot like CL from 2ne1 it's crazy.
I’ve never had moji and somehow it doesn’t appeal to me.
Growing up my grandma used to make it all the time in our Hmong household. She would make it in a breakmaker! All my cousins and I would watch it roll and tumble. We loved eating it with just honey. We call it “ncuav” pronounced “joua”. You can also blend up the presoaked rice with sweet corn and sugar and then steam it. That was my favorite.
Lowket thought this was a new Buzzfeed/tasty show tbh
I know she was comparing pounded rice options (the machine vs by hand) but unless you make mochi a lot and in large quantities to justify buying the machine, using sweetened rice flour (Mochiko is common) to make mochi is so much easier than trying to pound the rice and you can make it in the microwave.
did she just say that if you’ve never had mochi before you need to get the mochi machine? lol what is she talking about. does she earns a commission?
Your supposed to use a wooden holder thingy they used in the video to make it properly
So… not only Japanese eat mocha. So… for the last 30 to 46 years Hmongs have made mochi in a mixer. Fun fact!
She's so cool
Surprised this is still going. Almost everything has been done incorrectly with little planning.
It's perfect
Are you supposed to open the lid when it's getting pounded?
I have a feeling that's why it was so dry…
They recommended people get a $200+ gadget if they have never tried mochi before? (4:34). This review was either bias or clueless.
Mmmm mochi. I have to Google a recipe. Not buying a machine for hundreds of dollars that does only one job.
Zojirushi items are amazing. They last forever and does it’s job properly.
I love mochi but can't afford $400 for the machine! Lol. Great video btw. 😄
It’s making me
Nervous ! Pounding on the counter top 😭 scratches?!?!?!?!
I just buy a bag of gluttonous rice flour and use the microwave… done in under 5 mins. I also make icecream covered mochi. Its really good.
I have seen several of your kitchen Gadget tests and you are the worst tester I have seen. I would never take your word on the quality of a product when buying any kind of gadget.
Would it make good Korean rice cakes?
Lol my rice maker is 100 300
Lol. "Or maybe you've just never had mochi before..", you should definitely buy this $300-$400 machine to try it for the first time. I love the enthusiasm though!
