Cuisine Japanese
- 150 g glutinous rice flour
- 20 g sugar
- 30 g cornstarch
- 30 g cooking oil
- 300 ml milk
- Roasted soybean powder as needed (for coating)
Add glutinous rice flour, sugar, and cornstarch to a large bowl. Pour in the oil and milk, then whisk until the mixture is completely smooth and free of lumps.
Transfer the batter to a non-stick pan. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly with a silicone spatula to prevent sticking.
As the mixture heats, it will gradually thicken and come together. Keep stirring until a smooth, elastic dough forms and no longer sticks to the pan or spatula. Turn off the heat.
Remove the dough from the pan and gently stretch it a few times to improve elasticity.
Once cool enough to handle, roll the mochi into a log and cut into bite-sized pieces.
Toss the pieces in roasted soybean powder until evenly coated. Serve immediately.
