Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup Glutinous Rice Flour (Mochiko)
  • 1 cup Milk
  • 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1/4 cup Cornstarch (or other dusting starch)
  • Kinako (Roasted Soybean Flour) – optional
  • Cocoa Powder – optional
  • Matcha Powder – optional
  • Sweetened Condensed Milk – optional

Instructions

  1. Get Your Dusting Station Ready: Prepare a clean, flat surface by generously dusting it with cornstarch, kinako, or your chosen coating.
  2. Prepare Your Tools: Have a whisk, a heatproof mixing bowl, a rubber spatula (dusted with cornstarch), and a sharp knife or kitchen shears ready.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In your heatproof mixing bowl, add the glutinous rice flour and granulated sugar. Whisk to combine thoroughly.
  4. Whisk in Milk: Gradually pour in the milk while continuously whisking until the batter is completely smooth.
  5. First Microwave Interval: Cover your bowl loosely with plastic wrap and microwave on high for 1 minute.
  6. Stir Vigorously: Carefully remove the bowl and stir the mixture vigorously from the edges to the center until smooth.
  7. Second Microwave Interval: Cover again and microwave on high for another 1 minute.
  8. Repeat Stirring: Remove and stir vigorously again until it becomes thicker and more translucent.
  9. Final Microwave Intervals: Continue microwaving in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until the mixture is thick, glossy, and stretchy.
  10. Transfer to Dusting Surface: Scrape the hot, cooked mochi mixture onto your generously dusted surface.
  11. Dust and Flatten: Dust the top of the mochi with more cornstarch and gently pat or roll out to your desired thickness.
  12. Cut into Pieces: Using your dusted knife or kitchen shears, cut the mochi into small, bite-sized pieces.
  13. Coat Thoroughly: Transfer each piece to a bowl with more of your chosen coating and gently toss to ensure it’s fully coated.

Notes

  • Store any leftover mochi in an airtight container.
  • Experiment with different flavors by adding cocoa powder or matcha.
  • Ensure your workspace is well-dusted to prevent sticking.
