Chewy Little Morsels

I first came across korean bread/bun when I was surfing thru' some taiwanese blogs. Intrigued by it, I looked at the recipes posted and know that I won't be able to find the ingredients needed in sg. "coz in the list of ingredients, there's korean bread flour. So since I was planning a trip to Taiwan, it sorta became my "mission" to find this mysterious white flour!
During my trip to Taiwan, I saw korean bread on sale at one of the convienence shop located within a MRT stn. I bought 2 for everyone to try and they liked it! So I decided to continue searching for korean bread flour but was directed to this instead by the young boss of QUEEN baking supply shop. He claimed that the bread mix is a premix and the same bread can be achieved by this mochi powder. He then offered the recipe to me as long as I buy it. .. Well, I was thinking since I dun travel often and I'll be given the recipe, I shd give it a try... so I grabbed a packet of it and headed for the cashier.

Fast forward to 2 weeks later in sg... I finally found the time and chance to try it out. It turned out to be baked mochi instead of the korean bread I ate in Taiwan. The taste and texture are totally different! DRATS! Guess I've to keep on searching for a recipe on the net that resembles the one I tried.

Here's the recipe of the baked mochi for those who are interested to give it a try.
