Corn starch
Directions
Directions
1) Combine all ingredients well in a microwavable bowl, and cover with a plastic wrap.
2) Microwave on high for 1 min, and stir. Microwave for another 30 sec and stir again.
3) Scoop out the mochi onto a chopping board lined with plastic wrap and dusted with corn starch. Coat the whole mochi with starch.
4) Cut into bite-sized pieces when cooled, and store in an airtight container.
Remarks:
If not for the convenience that a microwave oven provides, I would never have used it for cooking or heating up food. You know, all the concerns about nutrient loss and "radioactive" stuff (I think the latter's crap). Anyway, this dessert provides a quick solution to that uncalled-for desire to have something sticky and sweet. Well, I personally think that more sugar should be added since there is no anko or peanut filling or whatsoever that propels the treat towards providing a sweet end to any meal.
Oh ya, it's really versatile. Add any flavours/colourings that you fancy, say for instance, rose water and and rose pink coloring to get some "fake" Turkish delight. Don't forget to substitute the brown sugar for white unless you want some dark hues to your intended outcome! Click here for my variation.
