Updated on Nov 11, 2010

A favorite recipe of mine that I've tweaked so many times to suite my palate. Family members request this for dessert so much that I can whip this out with my eyes closed. Here is also a gluten-free recipe. Not that I intentionally made it gluten-free but I didn't have enough flour one day and was too lazy to go to the grocer, so I simply just swapped out the wheat flour for mochiko.
