Prepare the rice flour. For this you need to soak the rice for a couple of hours (can be overnight), rinse well, so that the water became transparent, put on a towel and blot. No need to wait until the rice is dry enough to not be dripping water. Got rice from TM"Mistral".

Grind rice in a coffee grinder in small portions and sift. Remaining after sieving of large particles again to grind. Flour you will need 100 grams, so you can initially soak a larger amount of rice, because is a certain amount of large particles even after repeated grinding.

The resulting flour sift again.

Then just mix the flour with the powder, water (water to mix the dye), citric acid. In the original recipe the author offers cover the dish with the mixture in cling film and put in the microwave for 1 minute at full power. I have this way weight not has thickened (possibly due to insufficient power), so I transferred the mixture into the pan and put on very small fire (on water bath)and under constant stirring brought to thick. Next, spread the dough on a dusted working surface starch and stir. Photos of this process I have, because the lens was fogged up due to the fact that the dough is hot. Knead better with gloves, otherwise the hands hot and the dough is first strongly sticks. Mix the dough until it has cooled to a warm state. Finished mochi in consistency similar to clay.

Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and prepare the filling. I made tangerine Kurd and mixed with crushed biscuits. For the preparation of Kurd mix tangerine juice, egg, sugar, optional add the zest, put the oil and put on a small fire (on water bath).

Stirring constantly, bring the mass to a thick, if formed lumps, you can strain through a sieve. Cover with cling film in contact and let cool. Grind cookies (or sponge cake)and gradually add to Kurd. The consistency should be such that from the mass can be molded, but at the same time try not to make the mixture too cool.

From the resulting mass roll into balls, can be of the same size can be different)

From a small piece of mochi to make the cake.

Put it on the ball of the stuffing and stung.

To give form of Mandarin.

On the surface to make indentations, of mastic to cut the leaves, put in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes and you can enjoy! Bon appetit and happy new year!
