Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 ½ cups mochiko (glutinous rice flour)
1 cup white sugar
1 ½ cups water
2 drops distilled white vinegar
½ cup potato starch
¼ cup white sugar
¼ teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, mix together the mochiko, 1 cup of sugar, and water until well blended. Mix in the 2 drops of vinegar to soften. Pour into a microwave-safe dish, and loosely cover with plastic. Microwave for 8 to 10 minutes on HIGH. Remove, and let cool until cool enough to handle.
  • In a small bowl, combine the potato starch, 1/4 cup sugar, and salt. Turn the mochi out onto the plastic, and cut into pieces using a plastic or wooden knife. Metal knives tend to stick too much. Roll the pieces in the potato starch mixture.
