Matcha White Chocolate Mochi Delights

In a microwave-safe bowl, whisk together the glutinous rice flour, granulated sugar, and matcha powder until well combined.

Gradually add the water to the dry ingredients, stirring until a smooth, lump-free batter forms.

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, leaving a small vent. Microwave on high for 2 minutes. Remove, stir well with a wet spatula, and re-cover.

Microwave for another 1 to 2 minutes, or until the mochi dough is translucent and sticky. The exact time may vary depending on your microwave's power.

Lightly dust a clean work surface with cornstarch. Carefully transfer the hot mochi dough onto the cornstarch.

Dust your hands and a rolling pin with cornstarch. Gently roll the mochi dough into a rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick.

Sprinkle the white chocolate chips evenly over one half of the mochi dough. Fold the other half over to cover the chocolate.

Using a sharp, cornstarch-dusted knife or a pizza cutter, cut the mochi into 12 equal pieces. Serve immediately or store.
