Ingredients
•
1 1/2 cups mochiko (glutinous rice flour)
•
1 1/2 cups water
•
1 1/4 cups white sugar, divided
•
2 drops distilled white vinegar
•
1/2 cup potato starch
•
1/4 teaspoon salt
Directions
1
Mix together mochiko, water, and 1 cup sugar in a medium bowl until well blended. Mix in vinegar to soften. Pour into a microwave-safe dish and loosely cover with plastic wrap. Microwave on high for 8 to 10 minutes. Remove and let cool until cool enough to handle.

Combine potato starch, remaining 1/4 cup sugar, and salt in a small bowl. Turn mochi out onto the plastic wrap and cut into 25 pieces using a plastic or wooden knife (metal knives tend to stick too much). Roll pieces in the potato starch mixture.
