Matcha Mochi Bites

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 continuously until a smooth, lump-free batter forms.

Cover the bowl loosely with plastic wrap, leaving a small vent for steam to escape. Microwave on high for 2 minutes.

Carefully remove the bowl, stir the mixture with a wet spatula, and re-cover. Microwave for another 1 to 2 minutes, or until the mochi is translucent and sticky.

Dust a clean work surface generously with cornstarch. Carefully transfer the hot mochi dough onto the cornstarch.

Using a cornstarch-dusted spatula or knife, cut the mochi into 1-inch bite-sized pieces.

Toss the mochi bites gently in the cornstarch to prevent sticking. Serve immediately or once cooled.
