M for Mochi

Last weekend Lisa and I visited our favorite Asian market on the way home from our trip to New Bern. We got our staples of rice and banh pho noodles, along with some preserved radish (for pad thai). As we were checking out, look what we saw:


Mmmm....mochi. We ate a lot of mochi in Taiwan, as there are so many flavors (and some not so tasty) but peanut (with the peanut coating on the outside) was one of our favorites. Kind of cool to find it in Havelock, NC. Plus a few weeks ago I found a green tea mochi hidden in the back of our pantry, which was exciting until I discovered it was as hard as a rock.

So we ate our peanut mochi and reminisced about our trip to Taiwan. Not as good as being there, but not bad.
