How to Make Green Tea Mochi

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the glutinous rice flour and sugar until well combined.
  2. Gradually add the water, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Ensure the mixture is smooth and free of any dry flour.
  3. Stir in the matcha powder until evenly distributed throughout the batter. The batter will be thick.
  4. Lightly grease a microwave-safe bowl or ramekin.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared bowl.
  6. Microwave on high for 1 minute. Then, stir the batter thoroughly to redistribute the heat. Repeat this process of microwaving for 1 minute and stirring every minute for approximately 8-10 minutes until the mochi is cooked through and has slightly thickened. Cooking time may vary depending on your microwave's wattage.
  7. Let the mochi cool slightly. Once it's cool enough to handle (but still slightly warm and pliable), gently remove it from the bowl.
  8. Dust a clean surface with cornstarch. Place the mochi onto the dusted surface and shape it into a desired form, such as a log or ball.
  9. If desired, you can use a knife to cut the mochi into smaller pieces. The edges might be slightly firm.
  10. Dust the mochi generously with additional cornstarch or wrap pieces in fresh leaves for an attractive presentation.
  11. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious homemade Green Tea Mochi!
