Instructions

1. Mix the Mochiko with 3/4 cup water in a heatproof glass or other heatproof bowl until well combined. If it is too dry, add more water 1 tablespoon at a time.
2. Steam the dough in its bowl in a steamer for 20 minutes.
3. While it steams, put 3/4 cup water and the sugar in a medium pot and cook until the sugar dissolves into a syrup.
4. Transfer the steamed mochi to a pot over medium-low to low heat. Add the sugar syrup and mix it in constantly, cooking until the syrup is fully absorbed and the mochi is sticky. Go slowly and avoid burning it.
5. Turn the hot mochi out onto a sheet pan generously dusted with cornstarch. Shape and cut as you like.
