Can you use flour sticky rice? or only whole rice? how do you make the mochi paste?

Use only sweet rice, wash very good till white water's gone and soak 12hrs before cook.

I use this machine to pound my sweet rice (cooked) to make a rice "pan cake".

The answer Kazuko provided is correct - no flour sticky rice, only regular whole sweet rice... The machine does an excellent job of pounding and producing the mochi paste... The instructions provided are quite simple and clear... We've enjoyed our machine and have bought a couple others as gifts...

It's best to use mochi rice, also known as sweet rice. This machine will steam then pound the rice; the result is a form of mochi. The flour that you refer to is called mochiko and is used in other mochi recipes.

Ive used this for brown rice and sticky rice (separately and together). However, it almost exclusively sees use with brown rice. The directions suggest 2.5 to 3 cups water for every uncooked cup of brown rice, but i find that 2.5 works best. Im not sure what specifically isn't working for you, but ive never had any problems. Maybe if you elaborate Id be better-equipped to offer a suggestion.

Actually this unit, my 3 cup did not have a sticky rice setting. But I found advice out at Zojirushi that said rinse the rice as you would for sticky rice (strain it until there is no white color in the water), and then let it dry for 30 minutes, use the normal white rice setting. perfect sticky rice.

Potato starch, agar, tapioca starch, ground cashews, any rice flour, how much to use depends on how thick it needs to be. Is it for scrambled egg or pancake? Each would be different. Sorry I couldn't help more, I cook by instinct. My favorite VEGG use is Carbonara with tahini to replace bacon flavor....heaven.

No, not sticky. There are several kinds/brands of black rice. This one is my favorite! I love his rice!

You would have to experiment but I'm sure you could. I've only cooked rice in mine. Really it's just a really good Bon stick plus it retains the moisture really well. It's really well made and easy to clean.

My wife does long grain, short (Sticky) grain, Korean Medium grain, Forbidden [Black] rice, Red grain rice, Brown rice, and Lord knows what all. But then she is Korean. It even talks to her in Korean. It is probably the best of the rice cookers available.

I like sticky rice - Korean style. I rinse the rice. Then add 1 cup of water for each cup of rice.

I think it is perfect, but you may think it is sticky if you like dry rice :)But I think you are right, check this out: http://busycooks.about.com/od/howtocook/a/ricescience.htm

Yes,you just cook sushi rice like a .regular rice. I cook sweet rice in my rice cooker ,and they are more stickier than sushi rice.

This is definitely "sticky rice" but I haven't used it for sushi... I really enjoy the quality of this rice, it cooks proper each time, it has a good taste and is reasonably priced on Amazon. If you eat rice often as I do, I recommend giving this a try!

Mine did not. However, there are a ton of instructions online as well as recipes. I used only dry white rice for a couple of hours on and off. I had none of the issues others spoke of with flakes of the bowl coming off. I then used salt, lime juice and garlic with cilantro and squished it into a paste. I let the paste sit for several hours once mashed up. I then wiped out the paste and put the molcajete in the oven on 350 for about 30 minutes and let it cool down in there as well. After it was cool, I rinsed it out (NO SOAP!!) and let it air dry. I use mine mainly for guac and salsa, so the spices I used to season it are what I use in the mixes as well. Good luck!

Sheila, I have found it similar to regular stove top rice. Two parts water to one part rice. The sticky rice says 1 cup of rice to 1.75 cups of water. I find two cups is better. You can try and see which you like better. I am in Thailand right now for a month. The sticky rice is soaked for 8 hours or overnight. I have never done that in America and it is still great rice. When you put the rice and water in your cooker, make sure to stir it and spread it evenly in the water. Any uneven high spot will dry out. I use my cooker three times a week for over a year now. Mostly sticky rice that I buy from Thailand on Amazon. Glutonous Rice. You should be ready to go. Ask on. Brandin Sheila, I have found it similar to regular stove top rice.

You can use a rice cooker with any rice but it'll be almost the same hardness as uncooked. It will puff if you do it on the stove with double the water and double the time.

I have not made mochi ice cream. But, you don't need to purchase this machine for mochi ice cream. I think you need to purchase sweet rice powder. Try u-tube.

For sushi rice, you have to use the short grain japanese sticky rice and just cook it like regular rice. You only add the vinegar when the rice is already cooked.You can also google it to find out - some people use the rice vinegar (marukan brand) to taste.

Hi, I do make white, basmati and brown rice. My basmati rice is coming out as expected (not soggy at all) - I've been cooking it exactly like the measurement instructions for white rice. Are you remembering to rinse out the rice well first? Are you cooking it straight away or soaking first? I think cooking straight away would be best. As a last resort perhaps try switching brands of basmati rice... I am loving mine (comes from Costco).
