How to Make Microwave Mochi

Mochi is a delicious Japanese rice cake. Making mochi using a microwave is not only easy, but very fast to make. This recipe allows improvising on substitutions if you don't have the correct ingredients.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups mochiko or rice flour
  • 1 1/2 cups water
  • 1/2 cup sugar (can adjust to taste)
  • Potato, tapioca or corn starch, for dusting
  • Food coloring, if you wish to have colored mochi. Traditionally made in green, or pink
  • (The basic ratio of mochiko to water is 1:1.
  • Use more water for softer mochi, less water for firmer mochi)

Steps

  1. Measure and pour the water, sugar, and rice flour into a bowl. If you want to color your mochi, drop 3 to 4 drops of food coloring into the bowl. Combine everything until it's a smooth paste, but don't over mix it.

  2. Get a microwaveable container or small bundt pan and lightly coat it with cooking spray. You can also use a microwavable glass pan.
  3. Pour the mochi mixture into the sprayed container.

  4. Microwave it for 1-2 minutes at a time. Check for even cooking. Cook for another 1-2 minutes at a time until the mochi is semi-transparent. It is best to check every 1-2 minutes as it is very easy to overcook the mochi especially in a high power (ie. 1200 watt) microwave oven.
  5. Let it cool down in the microwave for about 5 to 10 minutes.
  6. Add a good handful of potato, tapioca or corn starch on a plate or pan.

  8. Use a plastic knife to cut the mochi into pieces and cover the pieces with the starch. Optionally, roll the pieces into balls before coating.

Tips

  • Treats, such as bean paste or strawberries, can be molded into the mochi. You may need to lessen the microwave timing in order to achieve a doughier mochi.
  • This contains about 1200 calories per batch.
  • Plastic knives from McDonalds or any other fast food restaurant are excellent for cutting.
  • Place them on cupcake sheets for easier handling when eating.

Things You'll Need

  • Cooking spray
  • Microwaveable container
  • Plate or pan
  • Bowl
