Ingredients

• Mochi
• 75 gram Thai glutinous rice flour
• 2 tablespoon (30 gram) sugar
• 100 gram (6 tablespoon + 2 teaspoon) water
• 2 teaspoon vegetable oil
• 2 teaspoon all-purpose flour
• Brownie
• 2 eggs
• 50 gram cocoa powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon espresso powder (optional, but highly recommended)
• 1 stick (8 tablespoon) unsalted butter
• 150 - 200 gram sugar (depends on how sweet you like your brownie)
• 90 gram (3/4 cup) all purpose flour
• 125 gram (3/4 cup) bitter sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

• Mochi
  1. Whisk together glutinous rice flour, sugar, and water in a microwave proof bowl until smooth.
  2. Cover the bowl, and microwave on high at 30 seconds interval, for up to 2 minutes total. Taking the bowl out at each interval and give it a stir with a wooden spoon (or chopsticks).
  3. Add oil, then stir and fold with a stiff spatula until the dough is firm and chewy. Set aside to cool.
• Brownie
  1. Preheat oven to 350 Fahrenheit (180 Celsius) and generously grease an 8"x8" square cake pan.
  2. Crack two eggs into a mixing bowl, and beat on medium speed with cocoa powder, salt, baking powder, vanilla extract, and espresso powder (if using). Stop when the batter is smooth, about 1 minute.
  3. Melt butter and sugar in a small sauce pot over low-medium heat. You can turn off the heat once all the butter has melted. Pour this to the egg/cocoa mixture, beat/stir until smooth.
  4. Add in all-purpose flour and chocolate chips, fold with a spatula until smooth, then pour the batter to the prepared greased pan.
  5. Flour a work surface with 2 teaspoon all purpose flour, then turn the mochi out, and cut into 16 pieces. Scatter mochi pieces onto brownie batter, then use the end of a spoon/chopstick to push them until almost completely covered by the batter.
  6. Bake in preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a cake tester comes out clean.
  7. Remove from oven, let it cool completely, then cut into 16 pieces and serve.
