Method

Tap a step once you've finished it.

To make mochi at home: stir the shiratamako smoothly with the water in a microwave-safe bowl, cover and microwave for 1 minute, stir, microwave 1 more minute; let it cool and cut into small pieces on a surface dusted with cornstarch.
For ready dried mochi: boil in water for 2–3 minutes, or microwave for 1 minute with 2 tbsp water, covered.
Mix the kinako with the sugar and salt on a flat plate.
Lift the hot, soft mochi out and roll it in the kinako mixture so each side is thinly coated.
Arrange on a plate.
Drizzle with honey or kuromitsu and serve warm.

Tips

Always eat mochi in small pieces and chew slowly: a large sticky bite can be a choking hazard, especially for the elderly and children.
Sift the kinako so it is not lumpy.
Eat the mochi fresh and warm, as it hardens.
Ready mochi is sold in Asian shops.
