Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup sweet rice flour (mochi flour)
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 cup milk (or almond milk for a dairy-free option)
- Cornstarch for dusting
Instructions
- Mix Dry Ingredients:
- In a medium-sized bowl, combine 1 cup of sweet rice flour and 1/4 cup of sugar. Mix well to ensure even distribution.
- Incorporate Milk:
- Gradually stir in 1 cup of milk (or almond milk) into the dry mixture. Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps.
- Microwave Cooking:
- Pour the mochi mixture into a microwave-safe dish. Microwave on high for 1 minute, then remove and stir. Repeat the process, microwaving in 1-minute intervals and stirring each time, until the mixture thickens. This usually takes about 3-4 minutes total.
- Prepare Work Surface:
- Dust a clean, flat surface with cornstarch to prevent sticking. Transfer the thickened mochi mixture onto the prepared surface.
- Cool and Knead:
- Allow the mochi to cool for a few minutes until it’s comfortable to handle. Knead the mochi gently to achieve a smooth, pliable texture.
- Shape the Mochi:
- Divide the mochi into small, bite-sized pieces. Shape them as desired, whether into balls or flattened discs. Roll each piece in cornstarch to prevent sticking.
- Serve and Enjoy:
- Your Taiwanese Milk Mochi is ready to be enjoyed! Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for later.
