Ingredients
- 1 cup glutinous rice flour (mochiko)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon matcha powder
- 3/4 cup water
- 1/4 cup cornstarch (for dusting)
Instructions
- In a microwave-safe bowl, whisk together glutinous rice flour, sugar, and matcha powder.
- Add water and stir until smooth and no lumps remain.
- Cover bowl with plastic wrap and microwave on high for 2 minutes.
- Stir the mixture with a wet spatula, then microwave for another 1 minute until translucent and sticky.
- Dust a work surface generously with cornstarch. Transfer the hot mochi onto the surface and let cool slightly.
- Dust your hands with cornstarch and flatten the mochi into a 1/2-inch thick rectangle.
- Cut into 8 squares or use a knife to shape into rounds. Dust with more cornstarch to prevent sticking.
Tips
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
- Serve with kinako (roasted soybean flour) or red bean paste for extra flavor.
- Microwave times may vary; cook until mochi is fully translucent.
