rice glue

[chunder]

I found a recipe for rice glue, I read it is used a lot in Japanese paper craft & kanzashi ( traditional hair ornaments)

I was just wondering
Has anyone used it?
How does it perform as a glue?
Can it be used as a protective coat?

I reckon it's just starch... kinda like the glue used when I was in kindergarten and primary school... safe to eat! lol

I dunno how it'll last though... stuff glued with it seems to break apart after time - maybe it's just the humid weather we have over here.

I have now found a few different recipes, some are complex & others are very simple, the only problem is now I have more questions, which one is best for what use or are they all equal?

here is one that is simple, if I try some this may be the one.

I remember that paste from kinda, I think I got in trouble for eating it, if rice glue performs the same as that I don't think I will try it as a glue or eating.

Rice glue and Moshi (Japanese Rice Candy) are pretty similar. Add a dab of bean paste to your Rice Glue and you can serve it as desert.
Enjoy!!!!!!!
