Mochi
Mochi is Japanese rice cake made of mochigome, a short-grain japonica glutinous rice. The rice is pounded into paste and molded into the desired shape. In Japan it is traditionally made in a ceremony called mochitsuki. While also eaten year-round, mochi is a traditional food for the Japanese New Year and is commonly sold and eaten during that time. Mochi is called môa-chî in Taiwan.

1 cup sweetened red bean paste
1 cup sweet rice flour (mochiko)
1 teaspoon green tea powder (matcha)
1 cup water
1/4 cup white sugar
