Preparation
  1. Toast spices: Begin by toasting the coriander and cumin seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
  2. Mix dukkah: In a bowl, combine the toasted spices with chopped pistachios, white sesame seeds, crushed red pepper, and flaky sea salt. Mix well.
  3. Cook carrots: In a pot, add the chopped carrots and cover them with water. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, about 10-15 minutes.
  4. Blend puree: Drain the carrots, reserving some cooking liquid. Blend with 3/4 cup of carrot juice until smooth.
  5. Form dough: In a large bowl, mix the carrot puree with kosher salt and mochiko until smooth.
  6. Steam dough: Transfer to a steamer basket lined with parchment paper. Steam on high for about 20-25 minutes.
  7. Cool and cut: Allow to cool before transferring to a cutting board. Cut into shapes.
  8. Serve beautifully: Plate the mochi and top with dukkah, roasted carrots, pickled carrots, and fresh herbs. Drizzle with olive oil.
