Roasted Bean Powder/Injeolmi Powder
1. Wash and dry the soybeans. 

2. Place the soybeans into a cool and dry skillet. Turn the heat on medium. Toast until the skin starts to split. Make sure to stir the beans to prevent burning. Remove the beans from the skillet and cool.

3. Once cool, pick out any beans that have darkened too much. Blend in a spice grinder or high powdered blender with the salt until pulverized. Pass through a sieve. Set aside until needed. The roasted soybean powder can be made a few days in advance and stored in the refrigerator. 

Mochi Bread with Black Sesame
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F or 180 degrees C. Line a 6 1/2 inch square mold or a mold of a similar size with parchment paper and generously grease with a neutral oil like vegetable oil or sunflower seed oil. 

2. In a large bowl, mix the sweet rice flour and brown rice flour together. Add the sugar, salt, and baking powder and mix. Pour in the milk and stir until the batter is smooth. 

3. To soften the black sesame paste a little, place in the microwave for 10-15 seconds. 

3. Pour half the batter into the prepared mold. Use a spatula to level out the batter. Carefully spread the black sesame paste on top. It’s ok if the batter and black sesame mix a little bit, but try to keep the layers as separate as possible. Pour the rest of the batter over the black sesame paste, and smooth out the top. 

4. Bake for 25 minutes or until cooked through. A toothpick inserted should come out with sticky, but dry residue. If you’re using a mold that is larger than 6 1/2 inches, bake for less time. If the mold is smaller than bake for slightly longer. Cool the bread inside the mold for 5 minutes and then remove onto a wire rack.

5. When the mochi bread is cool but still warm, cut into small pieces. Coat with the bean/injeolmi powder. 

6. Enjoy right away or keep leftovers in an airtight container for 2 days at room temperature or up to 5 days in the fridge. Reheat in an oven, microwave or oiled pan (the last is my favorite way to eat this).
