Chewy, sweet treats made with glutinous rice flour and milk, coated in your choice of cocoa, matcha or milk powder.
# Ingredients:
01 -
288g milk
02 -
150g glutinous rice flour
03 -
36g cornstarch
04 -
18g vegetable oil
05 -
46g sugar
06 -
Optional coatings: cocoa powder, milk powder, or matcha powder
# Steps:
01 -
In a heat-resistant, microwave-safe mixing bowl, combine milk, glutinous rice flour, cornstarch, and sugar. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated. Add vegetable oil and stir to combine. Sift once to ensure a smooth texture. Cover the bowl with microwave-safe plastic wrap and prick several holes in the wrap to allow steam to escape.
02 -
Microwave on high for 3 minutes. Pause, stir the mixture, and continue microwaving in 1-minute intervals until the mochi becomes translucent and no uncooked batter remains. Alternatively, steam the mixture over boiling water for 20-30 minutes, checking for doneness. The cooked mochi should appear glossy and pull away from the bowl's sides.
03 -
Wear gloves to handle the hot mochi safely. Knead the dough briefly for an even texture. Divide the mochi into small walnut-sized balls. Roll each ball into your choice of cocoa powder, milk powder, or matcha powder.

Serve the milk mochi bites as is or with dips such as ranch or sour cream for an intriguing flavor contrast.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
Ensure tools and surfaces are clean and dry to prevent sticking. Adjust microwave cooking times based on appliance wattage. Handle hot mochi with care, as they can be very sticky and hot immediately after cooking.
