Mochi with cheese and nori seaweed

Name: Mochi with cheese and nori seaweed
Cuisine: Japanese
Ingredients: Slice some Cheddar cheese a little smaller than the mochi cakes and about 5 mm/¼ in thick.; Grill (broil) the mochi cakes on each side under a medium heat for 2-3 minutes, turning them frequently to prevent burning. While the grilled mochi are still hot, make a horizontal slit at the side and insert a cheese slice.; If you wish, cut an 18 x 20 cm/7 x 8 in nori sheet into four to eight pieces and wrap one piece around each of the cheese stuffed mochi cakes before serving with a little shoyu (Japanese soy sauce).
