2/12/2010-- This Sunday marks the
Lunar New Year for the Chinese,
Vietnamese, and Korean cultures. While no single dish can represent the
diverse practices of each cuisine, rice is a common thread, a symbol of
wealth and plenty. This year, I'm making mochi, which is always
fashioned from glutinous sweet rice. The grains of rice develop an
especially sticky surface when cooked. So sweet and dense, the kernels
taste appropriately gluttonous on special occasions.
