Mochi is a traditional Japanese rice cake made with glutinous rice (also called sticky rice or sweet rice), most commonly moulded into shapes and usually rectangles or circles and eaten during special occasions and particularly festive season like the Japanese New Year. This Mango Mochi by Daphne Goh is also vegan, dairy free, nut free, soy free, corn free and refined sugar free.

Cappelletti is like the little cousin to tortellini, since they’re smaller and folded slightly differently. The bright, citrusy flavor of the lemon with the pistachio cream is perfect for cappelletti because of its size and shape! I recommend making a double batch of this Lemon Cappelletti With Pistachio Cream by Brianna Claxton since they’re good even when you have them as leftovers.

10. Crispy Tofu Katsu
