mochiko
Glutinous rice powder
Mochiko is sweet rice flour, a Japanese ingredient made from glutinous short-grain rice.
It creates the distinctively chewy, sticky texture in mochi and other Asian confections.
Despite the name, glutinous rice contains no gluten—the term refers to its gluey consistency when cooked: The recipe calls for mochiko, not regular rice flour.
