I would like to make mocha, but i don't understand how this machine actually works. Do you put inside the whole rice and it will come out mochi paste?

yes, put rice in after it sits in the water for 8 to 10 hours. Works great.

It's a bit more complicated, first you have to soak the rice. Then you put water in a small reservoir in the bottom,add the bowl and rice. The water is used to steam the rice then an impeller pounds the rice into mochi. My wife has made two batches and they turned out really well.

If you can boil water, it will work. This product is driven by steam. You put appropriate amount of water and rice in the pot, put it in a larger pot (I use a stock pot) add water to the larger pot and get to a boil, reduce the heat to a simmer and then let it steam for the recommended amount of time. If you can control the heat of the stovetop, it works.

No it doesn't. I usually stir it after it's done and resting because I've always done that with rice.

I put 2 cups of the blend and 5 cups of water in my rice cooker and it comes out perfectly. So, yes the directions are accurate. I use the salt but not the butter. Then I use the blend for all sorts of dishes. It's a nice change from my usual Texmati.

I just set it and let it....but I think it takes about 40 minutes for brown rice. When it's done, the pot turns down low and keeps the rice warm. Unless you leave it for a really long time, it should not get dry. My rice always came out mushy, and since I bought this the rice always comes out with a nice texture.

Thank you for question. This machine can make rice bread. But the menu is only Japanese.

I have done it both ways and the rice has always turned out perfectly. It is a personal preference as to how you like your rice and/ or how you plan to use it in a recipe. Hope this helps.

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.

Start out following the recipes exactly and it will work fine. After you learn about the consistency of the flours, etc. you will be able to expand your recipe collection. It is fun to make the fresh pasta all the time at first, but I started to dry my pasta (it is pretty fragile) and later discovered it is better to freeze it. The tube stuff does not work as well (with any pasta machine), and you will have a mess in your kitchen because of the amount of countertop space things take. Just have your pot of water (or broth) going before you get the pasta through the machine dies so you can cut the pasta and drop it in right away. Also have things set up so you can drain the pasta right away, too. Enjoy

Hey! this machine make almos all the work, but cuting the sushi is very easy. All you need is a nice sharp knife, I use a ceramic knife, but a steel one can do the work. The trick is after you make your roll, put it on the fridge for 10 minutes, and soak the kinfe in water before cut, do it every time you need and clean the rice or ingredients remaining in the knife and soak it again. With a little practice you will make slices of the same size. Regards from Mexico

You need to add about twice as much water/broth as you would with white rice to ensure that it is fully cooked. For 2 cups of white rice I add to the "2" line in the pot. If I am using 2 cups of brown rice I add 3/4 more water. This creates a very soft rice, that my family will actually eat. You might wish to put a bit less for a more "toothy" texture. Sometimes I add a packet of dry pesto sauce mix that makes for a really nice side with veggies/fish.

I use Cafe Bustelo (just try it), preheat the water in the microwave before filling the base (to just below the gasket), and use medium/medium-low heat on the stovetop (your stove top will vary of course).I'd say preheating the water is the best trick. It lessens stovetop time and also (I think at least) lessens the heat which gets transfered to the coffee grounds. In brewing coffee we're interested in the heat of the water. Not the heat of the moka pot.

I make mine in the rice cooker all the time - and it comes out beautifully. Better, in fact, than when I prepare it on the stove.

Directions?! Just make it like you normally make coffee!! It's so delicious!!

crushed ice, water or milk. Your preference on that. Everything else is in the mix. Come out like the best thick Mocha Frapp you have ever had.

Hi Mercy.....I have used my soy milk maker to make rice milk. I used brown rice, I toasted it in a dry pan and then soaked it overnight. I did not cook it. The ratio I used was 1/2c rice to 2c water. Your machine will come with a very fine sieve, but I too found the straining the most difficult part of the process. I might buy a nut milk bag for the next batch. I prefer soy milk, but I am sure you'll be able, with a little experimenting, perfect your recipe. There are a lot of different methods discussed on the net. Have fun!

I have the same question. It seems like the 1:2 ratio (rice ; water) doesn't work. There was a mess of steamed out water around. It's weird there is no clear instruction in the instructions.
