Chi Chi Dango Strawberry Beer Mochi

A Boozy Twist on a Japanese Girls’ Day Treat

By Rosie Hatch

In Japan, March 3rd is known as “Hinamatsuri,” also known as Girls’ Day. It is an annual holiday to celebrate the health and happiness of female children and femininity in general. To celebrate in style, we have created a Girls’ Day favorite, the chi chi dango mochi, but of course, we needed to add the booze. For this recipe, we used the Abita Brewing Strawberry Lager. However, any light, non-hoppy beer will do! Check out the notes section in the recipe for beer recommendations!

Equipment

  • large bowl
  • 9 x 13" pan

Ingredients

  • Crisco shortening for greasing

Notes

Suggestions for Strawberry Beers:
This recipe calls for a hint of strawberry flavor. So, we used a strawberry beer. However, other flavors may be substituted, such as a milk chocolate stout, a coffee porter, a guava cream ale, and so on. Since this is meant to be a sweet treat, we do not recommend the use of sours or hoppy profiles in this recipe. It's also probably best with a low ABV beer. Here are a few strawberry beers that we believe would work well.  
  • Strawberry Lager by Abita Brewing Company
    • Origin: Abita Springs, LA
    • ABV: 4.2%
    • IBU: 13
  • Strawberry Whale Cake by Burlington Beer Company
    • Origin: Williston, VT
    • ABV: 5.5%
    • IBU: 10
  • Strawberry Rhubarb by New Glarus Brewing Company
    • Origin: New Glarus, WI
    • ABV: 4%
    • IBU: 0
  • Strawberry Short's Cake by Short's Brewing Company
    • Origin: Bellaire, MI
    • ABV: 4.3%
    • IBU: 10
  • Strawberry Milkshake Stout by Rochester Mills Production Brewery
    • Origin: Auburn Hills, MI
    • ABV: 5.2%
    • IBU: 19
As always, we advocate for local and independent craft beer. You'll only need a cup for this recipe, so enjoy the rest of the beer as a pairing with your mochi. If it lasts through the recipe! 
Cheers!

“400+ anti-trans bills in 41 states supposedly aim to “protect kids” & “protect women,” but in reality, are clear attempts to eradicate trans people.” - @PinkMantaray
⠀
“As for the assertion that these bills are driven by a concern about #WomensRights - the right-wing lawmakers behind them have shown little concern about funding for #WomensSports, #EqualPay & treatment in the workplace, or #ReproductiveRights (& have sought to take away access to #contraception & #abortion)” - @TheAdvocateMag
⠀
“#TransAthlete s want to participate in #SchoolSports for the same reason as anybody else: to find a sense of belonging & social engagement, be a part of a team & challenge themselves. But states & schools across the country are trying to exclude trans people from enjoying the benefits of #sports on equal terms with their cisgender peers. These proposed laws discriminate against #TransYouth in ways that compromise their health, social & emotional development & safety + raise privacy concerns.
⠀
Just like it was never about restrooms, today’s fight is not about sports. It’s about erasing & excluding #trans people from participation in all aspects of public life. It’s about creating “solutions” to “problems” that don’t exist & in the process, harming some of the most vulnerable young people in the country” - @ACLU_Nationwide
⠀
“46% of trans people reported experiencing verbal harassment because of their gender identity in the last year, with nearly 1 in 10 physically attacked over their gender identity. The reason Trans Women of Color are particularly susceptible to violence involves a complex intersection of their trans identity & race, as well as poverty, over-policing & housing” - @VoxDotCom
