Step-by-Step Instructions for Irresistible Mochi
  1. Begin by gathering all your ingredients: sweet rice flour, sugar, warm water, and cornstarch. Dust your work surface with cornstarch.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the sweet rice flour and sugar. Gradually pour in the warm water while stirring until smooth and lump-free.
  3. Transfer the mochi batter into a heatproof container lined with parchment paper. Steam for 20-25 minutes until sticky and translucent.
  4. Once steamed, let the dough cool for 10 minutes, then shape it on a cornstarch-dusted surface into squares or rounds.
  5. Fill each mochi piece with sweet red bean paste, ice cream, or fruit, and seal the edges tightly.
