Yes, you definitely can. However, I recommend Mochiko Sweet Rice Flour as a nod to Mochiko Chicken’s roots and origins.
Mochiko Flour is made by Koda Farms, a Japanese American multi-generational family farm in California. Easy to find in most grocery stores, it’s a classic staple in many Asian American pantries.
Note: Mochiko Flour is milled from short-grain sweet rice. The texture is coarser than other Asian brands (such as Thai Erawan Elephant brand). When cooked, the difference is subtle – it cooks up slightly more sticky and bouncy.
