Make fresh Homemade Mochi (Japanese rice cakes) using a stand mixer and an electric rice cooker! Stuff the mochi with your favorite dessert filling, dip it in a savory or sweet coating, or enjoy it in red bean soup or Japanese New Year soup (ozoni).
Sticky and chewy Mochi (餅) is irresistible. Whether it’s Mochi Ice Cream, Strawberry Daifuku Mochi, or mochi enjoyed during traditional Japanese New Year, these elastic wonders of glutinous rice cakes have captured the hearts of people worldwide. In the US, you can even find the mainstream mochi creations at major grocery stores like Trader’s Joe and Whole Foods.
Today I’ll show you how to make fresh homemade mochi with a rice cooker and a stand mixer. It is a fairly easy affair, but I do want to warn you – mochi is super sticky and the process can be a handful. Don’t let that stop you though because there is nothing like eating freshly pounded mochi! They are smooth, springy, and tactile. A nostalgic reminder of my childhood and all the happy memories in Japan.

What is Mochi?
A fun fact: Mochi (餅, もち) is often pronounced as [MO-chi] in English, but we actually pronounce it [mo-CHI] in Japanese.
Mochi is a Japanese rice cake made of mochigome (糯米), a short-grain glutinous rice*. It’s naturally white, sticky, elastic, and chewy. It tastes like rice without filling or coating, but mochi is all about the texture. There is no other food that has this unique texture similar to mochi.
Outside of Japan, mochi seems to be associated with desserts like mochi ice cream and mochi stuffed with a sweet filling. However, when the Japanese hear the word “mochi”, it usually implies the plain mochi that can be used for both savory and sweets. Think of it this way: if steamed rice is one form of rice, then mochi is another form of rice.
*It’s sometimes called “sweet rice” although they both mean the same thing. I’d just call “glutinous rice” in this post.
How Mochi is Made
Traditionally, glutinous rice is first steamed, then transferred into a usu (臼), a large Japanese stamp mill, and pounded with a pestle called kine (杵). This mochi-pounding event is called mochitsuki (餅つき).
The glutinous rice is pounded repeatedly until smooth, sticky, and elastic. Some households own a bread machine with a “mochi making” function, which can cook and pound the glutinous rice (Isn’t it genius?). Some people even own a mochi-pounding machine. Outside the big cities, people still make mochi the traditional way using the family’s heirloom usu and kine. Mochitsuki is a family event that they continue on.
After the mochi is pounded, it is transferred to a working station where you shape it into round mochi balls or make big round pieces used for a decoration called kagami mochi (鏡餅) during the Japanese New Year. Making mochi is a big part of Japanese New Year preparation.
Today we will make fresh mochi with a rice cooker and a stand mixer!
Keep in Mind:
- Mochi is an extremely sticky food. Embrace the gooeyness and have fun!
- Don’t touch mochi with your bare hands/utensils. When kneading and pounding, always wet your hands and utensils. When shaping mochi, make sure your hands are dry and lightly dusted with starch.
- Soak the bowls and tools in water immediately. Mochi will come off easily by the time you clean up.
How to Make Mochi with a Stand Mixer (3 Steps)
- Cook glutinous rice in a rice cooker (or whatever method you use) – Easy
- “Knead” and “Pound” the cooked rice with a stand mixer. – Fairly easy
- Divide and make mochi balls – Mess alert! (just kidding, you can do it)
Note: Instead of using mochiko (glutinous rice flour), we will cook glutinous rice to make the dough in this recipe so it yields the freshest taste.
Step 1: Cook Glutinous Rice
I decided to use a rice cooker method since it’s a standard electric appliance if you cook Japanese or Asian food frequently.
Rice Cooker: You do not need to soak the glutinous rice in water prior to cooking. Just rinse and cook the glutinous rice just like you would with regular steamed rice.
Steamer: Traditionally, glutinous rice is steamed in a steamer because it’s considered the best way. You would rinse and soak the rinsed glutinous rice in water overnight, put the rice in cheesecloth, place it inside the steamer, and steam for 30 minutes.
Instant Pot: You can use your Instant Pot if you have one. Soak the glutinous rice for 1 hour after rinsing, high-pressure cook for 5 minutes, and natural release for 15 minutes.
Pot on Stove: Rinse the glutinous rice, soak for 10 minutes, then put the rice and water in the pot. Start with high heat, and once boiling, mix the rice once and put the lid on. Turn the heat down to the lowest setting and cook for 8-10 minutes. Remove from the heat and let it steam for 10-15 minutes.
Step 2: “Knead” and “Pound” Using a Stand Mixer
At this step, you will need a few things:
- A KitchenAid® stand mixer – Professional series (This is the only appliance that I’ve tried making mochi successfully many times)
- A timer (your smartphone would do)
- Hot water ready for use
- Silicone spatula (A flexible silicone spatula is easy to scrape down the mochi in the stand mixer)
- A 2-cup measuring cup for soaking the spatula
This stand mixer process involves 2 stages:
- Knead with a dough hook for 3 minutes – repeat 4 times [total 12 minutes]
- “Pound” with a flat beater for 30 seconds – repeat 4 times [total 2 minutes]
Step 3: Shaping Mochi Balls
Here’s what you’re going to do:
1. Prep your work surface and two rimmed baking sheets. Thinly coat the mochi dough with potato starch (or cornstarch).
2. Pull up a corner and tuck in the edges underneath to create a small mound. Keep pulling and tucking until it’s thick enough.
3. Make a “C” with your well-dusted, left pointing finger and thumb, and then place the “C” fingers on top of the thick corner.
3. With your right hand, tuck and squeeze the mochi into the left “C” fingers from underneath and side to make a ball shape.
4. Once you get a good-size ball shape that’s slightly bigger than a golf ball, pinch the mochi with your left “C” fingers. Use the right hand to twist it off.
When pinching, do not pull the mochi because the sticky surface would appear and your hands would get messy. Instead, use a pinch & twist motion to cut the mochi with two “C” fingers and right hand. Make sure your hands are dry and well-dusted with potato starch.
5. Quickly rotate the mochi on dusted hand to cover up the sticky new surface.
REMINDER:
- Handle the areas dusted by starch only and make sure your hands are dry and well-dusted.
- Do not to “pull” the mochi, which creates a fresh sticky surface.
- If you see any sticky surface appearing on mochi, lightly dust a thin layer of starch and brush the excess away. Too much starch would be troublesome when you stuff the filling and close the mochi.
*Please watch my video. Sometimes it’s easier to see in action than reading my instructions.
5 Ways to Enjoy Homemade Mochi
There are so many ways to enjoy fresh homemade mochi. Here are some common ways to enjoy it.
1. Put mochi in a soup
- Kanto (Tokyo)-style Ozoni (New Year Soup)
- Kansai (Osaka)-style Ozoni (New Year Soup)
- Zenzai/Oshiruko (Red Bean Soup)
2. Stuff mochi with a sweet filling
- Anko (Red bean paste) – See the recipe below
- Make the best mochi ice cream with flavors like matcha, strawberry, chocolate, and mango.
3. Coat mochi with a sweet/savory sauce
- Kinako (soybean flour) + sugar – See the recipe below
- Soy sauce + sugar
- Anko (sweet red bean paste) – Pressure Cooker Anko or Stovetop Anko
4. Make mochi into Japanese New Year decoration
- Kagami Mochi (decorate until 1/15)
5. Make mochi into rice crackers
- Make it flat and air dry until completely dry. Then toast the mochi on both sides in the oven. Brush with soy sauce and air dry. See my Rice Cracker (Kaki Mochi) recipe.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Can I use other types of rice?
No, for this recipe, I only tried with Japanese short-grain glutinous rice (sweet rice) or what we call, mochigome (もち米).
I had never tried other types of rice such as long-grain glutinous rice, therefore I would not know how much water you need to cook the rice, how long it takes to knead/beat, etc.
2. Can I make a bigger batch?
To be honest, I am not so sure because I don’t think my Kitchen Aid stand mixer would be able to knead more mochi inside the bowl. With 3 rice cooker cups of glutinous rice, it was working hard, and I wouldn’t feel comfortable doing even a bigger batch. So I would suggest making a few batches.
3. How can I keep mochi softer for a long time?
The answer is sugar. If you plan to make sweet mochi such as daifuku mochi, then you should add sugar. I researched, and it recommends using 50-100 grams of sugar for 100 grams of cooked glutinous rice. You will need to add sugar while you’re kneading the mochi. Start with 50 grams and increase the amount as you like. The more sugar you added, the longer the mochi stays soft.
4. Can I freeze the mochi? How long does it last?
Yes, you can freeze the mochi! For the best quality, eat it within a month, but mochi can be kept in the freezer for 6 months if you store them well.
5. Does it taste like freshly pounded mochi made with the traditional method using usu and kine?
I wish! The stand mixer cannot do a real “pounding” motion and the mochi is not 100% made in the same way. However, if my choice was between store-bought mochi vs. homemade mochi, I would choose to make fresh mochi in my stand mixer. It is actually amazing! The mochi’s texture is 95% close to the ones made traditionally. I just wish that it yields a real smooth and silky surface. That said, the difference is not obvious.
Ready to make some mochi from scratch? Time to gather your kids or mochi-loving friends for this sticky, fun and auspicious activity!

How to Make Mochi with a Stand Mixer
Video
Ingredients
- 2¼ cups sweet rice/glutinous rice (mochigome) (or 3 rice cooker cups)
- 1⅔ cups water (in your rice cooker, the water level should reach the line on the inner pan for 3 rice cooker cups of Sweet Rice)
- potato starch or cornstarch (for dusting)
For the Anko Mochi (optional)
- sweet red bean paste (anko) (store bought, or you can make my Homemade Anko or Pressure Cooker Anko)
For the Kinako Mochi (optional)
- 2 Tbsp kinako (roasted soybean flour) (enough for 2 mochi balls; follow a ratio of 2 parts kinako to 1 part sugar)
- 1 Tbsp sugar
Instructions
Before You Start…
- I created this recipe using the KitchenAid Professional series stand mixer. I cannot guarantee that other equipment will work, as I have not tested it. Please do not use a hand mixer to make this recipe, as the motor is not powerful enough to handle mochi. You can always pound the cooked glutinous rice with a wooden mallet.
To Measure and Rinse the Glutinous Rice
- Measure 2¼ cups sweet rice/glutinous rice (mochigome). Tip: One rice cooker cup (180 ml) of uncooked glutinous rice is 150 g or ¾ US cup. You will need 3 rice cooker cups (540 ml, 450 g) for this recipe.
- To rinse the glutinous rice, put the rice in a large bowl and add some water. Stir with your hands and quickly drain the water.
- Then, gently stir the rice with your fingertips. Glutinous rice breaks easily, so do not apply any extra pressure. Just lightly stir it a few times.
- Add more water to the bowl and carefully rinse. Repeat rinsing 3–4 more times. Drain the rice in a fine-mesh sieve.
- Shake the sieve to remove the excess water. Then, transfer the rice to the inner pot of a rice cooker.
- Even the level of the rice in the pot and add 1⅔ cups water. The water level should be at the inner pot‘s 3-cup line for Sweet Rice. Evenly distribute the rice with chopsticks or your fingers.
To Cook the Glutinous Rice
- Close the lid of the rice cooker. Select Regular on the menu and start cooking. Regular mode cooking is usually 5–10 minutes longer than the Sweet Rice setting. When the rice is finished cooking, we can take it out immediately.
- When the rice is almost done, prepare about 4–5 cups of boiling water. Once the hot water is ready, pour one-third of the boiled water into your stand mixer bowl to warm it up, one-third into a mixing bowl to warm a dough hook and flat beater, and the rest into a 2-cup measuring cup to keep a silicone spatula wet. Make sure there is enough hot water to submerge all the tools.
- Once the mixer bowl is warm, discard the hot water. Then, transfer all the cooked glutinous rice into the stand mixer bowl.
To Knead with the Dough Hook Attachment
- Set the dough hook attachment on the stand mixer. Start kneading the glutinous rice on Speed 2. Set a timer for 3 minutes (first round).
- The dough hook will start pulling in the rice.
- Tip: While kneading, you can use your wet silicone spatula to detach the glutinous rice from the wall of the stand mixer bowl.
- When the 3-minute timer beeps [03:00], remove the bowl from the stand mixer, keeping the dough hook attached. Using the wet silicone spatula, flip over the glutinous rice. Dip the spatula in the water a few times so it doesn’t stick to the rice.
- Set the bowl back onto the stand mixer and start kneading again on Speed 2. Reset the timer for 3 minutes (second round).
- When the 3-minute timer beeps [06:00], remove the bowl from the stand mixer and flip the glutinous rice again, using the wet silicone spatula. Now, the rice grains are less visible and are starting to look like mochi.
- Put the bowl back onto the stand mixer and start kneading again on Speed 2. Reset the timer for 3 minutes (third round).
- When the 3-minute timer beeps [09:00], remove the bowl from the stand mixer and flip the glutinous rice again, using the wet silicone spatula. Now it’s getting stickier and elastic.
- Put the bowl back onto the stand mixer and start kneading again on Speed 2. Reset the timer for 3 minutes (fourth round).
- When the 3-minute timer beeps [12:00], remove the bowl from the stand mixer and flip the glutinous rice again, using the wet silicone spatula. Now the kneading is complete.
To “Pound“ with a Flat Beater Attachment
- Remove the dough hook attachment from the stand mixer and change to a flat beater attachment.
- Beat the mochi on Speed 3. Set the timer for 30 seconds (first round).
- When the 30-second timer beeps [00:30], do not remove the bowl from the stand mixer. Scrape the mochi as much as you can from the sides of the bowl, using the wet silicone spatula.
- Reset the timer for 30 seconds (second round). Start beating again on Speed 3. When the 30-second timer beeps [01:00], scrape the mochi again from the sides of the bowl, using the wet silicone spatula.
- Reset the timer for 30 seconds (third round). Start beating again on Speed 3. When the 30-second timer beeps [01:30], scrape the mochi again from the sides of the bowl, using the wet silicone spatula.
- Reset the timer for 30 seconds (fourth round). Start beating again on Speed 3. When the 30-second timer beeps [02:00], scrape the mochi again from the sides of the bowl, using the wet silicone spatula. Now, the pounding is done.
To Shape into Mochi Cakes
- Prepare two rimmed baking sheets by covering them with potato starch or cornstarch. Put all the pounded mochi on one of the baking sheets. The other one is for keeping the mochi cakes.
- Sprinkle some potato starch on top of the freshly pounded mochi. Make sure your hands are completely dry and dust them with potato starch. Keep extra starch handy so you can always dust your hands when needed.
- Spread the potato starch on top of the mochi, making sure there is no sticky part exposed. While the mochi is still hot, but cool enough to handle, pick up a corner of the mochi and start tucking in the edges underneath. Tip: Work quickly while the mochi is still quite warm. As it cools down, it will firm up and harden and be impossible to shape.
- Once you’ve mounded up a thick layer of mochi, make a C shape with your left index finger and thumb against the edge of the mochi.
- Use your right hand to tuck in and push up the mochi underneath to create a ball shape above your left C-shaped fingers.
- Pinch and twist: Using your C-shaped fingers, pinch underneath the ball to cut off the mochi. Use your right hand to twist off the mochi. Do not pull the mochi, as it creates a sticky surface.
- This photo is a bad example. You don’t want to pull the mochi. The sticky mochi surface appears and now your hands get sticky when you touch it. REMEMBER: Pinch and twist. Pinch and twist.
- As you form the mochi cakes, place them on the other rimmed baking sheet. When you're ready to eat them, dust off the starch with a pastry brush or with your dry hands. Enjoy your mochi in Japanese New Year Soup (Ozoni) and Red Bean Soup, or make Anko Mochi or Kinako Mochi (see below).
To Store
- If you do not use the mochi cakes immediately, let them cool completely, then cover each one individually in plastic wrap and put in a freezer bag. Store in the freezer for 3 months.
To Make the Anko Mochi (optional)
- Prepare the Anko Mochi while the mochi cakes are still warm. First, flatten the cakes by pressing down with the palm of your hand.
- Brush off the excess starch with a pastry brush or your dry hands. It’s important to remove the starch, so don’t skip this step.
- Put a scoop of sweet red bean paste (anko) in the center of each mochi. Pull two opposite sides of the mochi out and away from the center.
- Pull up the sides and pinch the ends over the anko. Repeat for the other sides and pinch the ends together on top.
- Lightly dust your hands with potato starch (do not coat too heavily). Use light pressure to pinch and seal the top of the mochi. Repeat with the rest of the mochi pieces. Serve immediately.
To Make the Kinako Mochi (optional)
- Prepare the Kinako Mochi while the mochi cakes are still warm. In a bowl, combine 2 Tbsp kinako (roasted soybean flour) and 1 Tbsp sugar and mix well. This is enough kinako mixture for 2 mochi cakes.
- Pour some hot water in a separate bowl. Use chopsticks to dip a mochi cake in the hot water.
- Then, dip the mochi in the kinako mixture and coat well. Repeat with the rest of the mochi pieces. Serve immediately.

Hello! Thank you for the post! Would it be possible to section out the rice, put it into plastic wrap, and then beat/kneed each mochi independently in the plastic wrap by hand. I would like to have my students try making it, but minimize the mess and lack of equipment.
Hi Caitlin! I do not recommend using plastic wrap as mochi will stick to it completely (it’s not separable) and it will be a disaster… If you can pound the mochi with a wooden mallet on a wooden board, and someone else constantly use water to knead in between pounding the mochi (just like how traditional mochi pounding ceremony), then it’s probably easier to work with. Once sticky mochi sticks to plastic wrap, it’s impossible to take out… 🙂
Could this be done with a normal Mortar and Pestle instead of a stand mixer?
Hi John! Definitely you can, but it will take a long time… 🙂
Hi Nami! i love mochi! we are Vietnamese and we would eat slice pork roll (cha) between 2 slices of mochi- I’d love to make this at home but i only have a heavy duty kitchenaid- do you think this is strong enough? maybe i should reduce the amount of cooked glutinous rice? i have a pestle and mortar but tjis would be too much work- help please
i forgot to mention that we dip the mochi with slice of pork roll in the fish sauce sparingly
Hi Ann! A heavy-duty kitchen aid should work, and that’s what I have. 🙂 The slice pork roll with mochi and dip in fish sauce… DELICIOUS!!!!! Sounds amazing, I would love to try that!
It not more easy to make the mochI with glutinous rice flour ?
Hi Bernardino! Cooking from glutinous rice is a traditional way, especially for the New Years. But if you’re making daifuku mochi etc, glutinous rice flour is okay. 🙂
Where can I find the specific rice that you used?
Hi Sheila! I used Mochigome (glutinous rice) that I purchased at a Japanese grocery store (Nijiya brand, to be specific). 🙂
Nami,
As always, amazing post! I love mochi and especially love the chocolate filled ones at 7/11. As you are my go-to website for Japanese cooking I saw this post and was excited to make my own, but unfortunately I don’t own a stand mixer. Is there any other way to make this by hand?
A little side note, this is the second year I got to participate in our town’s mochi pounding festival (they grow the rice in our local park, harvest it and then the community pounds the rice in November). I just love the seasonal matsuri here! – Kanagawa-ken
Hi Patrick! THank you! Small amount of mochi can be made in a mortar and pestle (Japanese surikogi and suribachi)… but it’s a lot of pounding. You pound steamed glutinous rice until it gets stickier and sticker and mochi-like texture. Since you saw the mochi pounding event, you can imagine how it’s like. Or you can buy a mochi pounding machine. If you make mochi a lot or make it every year, it can be helpful. You put the steamed glutinous rice and turn on the switch, and it moves (vibrate) to make mochi (this is very fascinating to watch). Another option is to buy a Japanese bread maker. It comes with a mochi pounding function, which I got the idea for using a stand mixer (use a paddle, so I thought I could use my stand mixer paddle!). 🙂
Thank you very much!
I visited a Japanese friend, and she had a pot that completed the process from beginning to end, amazing. Then we shaped with potato starch, and it was DELICIOUS!!
Hi Monique! I’m so glad you got to try homemade mochi! 🙂
I used the metal meat grinder attachment and ran it through the smallest grid twice. I used cooking spray on all the parts that the rice would touch before I assembled and attached it to the stand mixer. Family thought the texture was perfect, no bits of unmashed rice in the end. I stuffed a few with anko, a couple with leftover Halloween peanut butter cups, and some ended up with kinako-sugar and eaten immediately. My 3 Japanese cup batch became 15 pieces that disappeared!
Hi Eleanor! Wow I’m so excited to hear your feedback and thanks for sharing your tip. I never thought of using a metal meat grinder attachment! WOW, it’s an eye-opener! So happy to hear your family enjoyed it!
[…] Mochi (餅), Sekihan (赤飯), Dango (団子), Sakura Mochi […]
My mochi comes out really soft and won’t hold its shape. It also seems to absorb the starch. Im wondering if my rice is too wet or im over beating it. But im not sure
Hi Megan! It SHOULD come out soft and won’t hold its shape when you beat/knead. It’s not liquid but acts like…. slimy (toy). I’m not sure if mochi would “absorb” the starch. The mochi will only become hard if you leave it out for a day and it’ll become solid. Until then it’s squishy mass. How did you end up dealing with it? Sorry for my late response. Next time take a picture and send me so I am giving the right advice. 🙂
What a beautiful tutorial, Nami, thank you! I buy red-bean Mochi at the local Asian grocery; my Japanese friend introduced me to these sweet treats; my kids and I love them. Your video and recipe is lovely and you’ve inspired me to try this on my own!
Hi Dani! Thank you so much for your kind message! I’m happy to hear you enjoy red bean mochi! 🙂 Hope you enjoy the recipe!
Hi Nami, thanks for the recipe! I tried to make this for the first time, and I didn’t have kinako, so I used matcha powder instead. The taste and texture was great, but the problem was my mochi would leak water over time (ie a few minutes) and the surface would turn into a very watery gluggy texture mixed with the green matcha powder. The inside was still fine and chewy. Do you know why? I didn’t think we dipped the mochi in the water for very long and we drained it quite well before coating it in matcha powder.
Any ideas?
Hi Jess! Thank you for trying this recipe! So you’re talking about matcha + sugar mixture, right? If the mochi is fresh, you can just dip in matcha and no need to dip in the water. ONLY when the mochi is hardened, and cook, the surface is not soft like freshly made mochi, so you have to run water (or dip in water) to make the surface wet. From your description, it seems like you were making fresh mochi and coat with matcha?
When sugar melts with warm mochi, it becomes wet. I think that’s why. Sugar melts with warmth and becomes liquid. 🙂
I’m sure I can find fresh mochi in the Japanese markets this year so I’m looking forward to attempting mochi making this year. I have a smaller 5qt KitchenAid mixer which is not as powerful as the professional version so I’m keeping my fingers crossed. We used to take my children to San Jose to watch mochi being pounded and purchase some for the New Year. There’s nothing like freshly pounded mochi!
In response to Jess, sugar is hydroscopic which means that it absorbs water from it’s environment, whether that is a cookie, candy or something coated with sugar. If you’ve ever had a baked good coated with a crisp sugar crust only to come back later and find it wet or a meringue that becomes damp or drippy, you’ve experienced the hydroscopic nature of sugar.
I really enjoy your site. I’ve learned a lot about Japanese food and culture. Your recipes are all wonderful. I’ve made many of them with great success! Thank you!
Hi Caroline,
Thank you very much for your input and your kind words.
We hope you can enjoy freshly made mochi at home this year!
Thank you for trying many of Nami’s recipes.🙂
Your video is so professional! I loved it. And your step by step recipe is amazing! Thanks so much for sharing.
Hi Lisa! Thank you so much for your kind words! 🙂 xo
[…] How to Make Mochi with a Stand Mixer […]
Hi! I’m super excited to make this soon! I just read over the instructions and see I need a rice pot. I actually just donated mine because I always make rice in the instant pot. For regular short grain sticky rice, I always do 1:1 ratio and high pressure cook for 5 minutes with natural release of 11-18 minutes. Can you recommend how to cook the mochigome in the instant pot, please?
Hi Jesse! The rice to water ratio should be 1 to 1.2 (a bit more water) in weight.
1 rice cooker cup of rice (instant pot comes with the rice cooker cup) is 150 gram. You will need 180 ml of water if you follow above ratio. The rice cooker cup is 180 ml. So you can basically use the rice cooker cup to measure rice and water.
So you can use 1 rice cooker cup of short-grain glutinous rice (sweet rice) and 1 rice cooker cup (180 ml) of water.
My recipe for steamed rice is a bit different from yours (https://www.justonecookbook.com/instant-pot-rice/) but I think 5 minutes should be good.
Great, thank you! I’ll make 150ml of mochigome with 180ml of water for 5 minutes 😊 Can’t wait!
Hi Jesse! Have fun making mochi with the kitchen aid! It’s a sticky mess, but when you can control it to minimal, it’s actually easy. 🙂
