Grilled Mochi Yakimochi

Instructions

• 1. In a heat-safe cooking bowl, add glutinous rice flour, sugar and salt. Mix.
• 2. Add water and mix well.
• 3. Cover lightly with saran warp and microwave 2 minutes at 600w. Mix with a rubber spatula gently. Cover again and microwave for another 2 min or more at 600w. Mix well.
• 4. Dust a work surface with potato starch (katakuriko). Transfer the dough onto it. Dust potato starch over the mochi.
• 5. Roll out the mochi to about 1.5cm thickness. Cut into bite pieces (here about 3x3 cm). Bake immediately - or when you are ready - both way are ok.
• 6. Transfer to your baking tray and bake 10 to 12 min at 230℃.
• 7. Prepare the topping of your choice and enjoy Yakimochi :) My personal favorite is a mix of soy sauce and sugar!
