Microwave Milk Mochi
Get soft, chewy, creamy milk mochi in under two minutes by using the microwave! This mochi is more of a Taiwanese style mochi, rather than Japanese. But it is perfect for plopping on top of all sorts of desserts.

Course: Dessert, Snack
Cuisine: Asian American, Chinese, Japanese
Servings: 2 people
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup mochiko or tapioca starch
- 2 tbsp sugar
Mix all ingredients in a microwave safe bowl.
Microwave for 30 seconds, then stir.
Microwave for another 30 seconds and stir again.
Microwave for 30 seconds more and let cool slightly before using. Place on top of favorite dessert or eat it by itself.
I prefer mochiko over tapioca starch for a more mochi-like texture. Tapioca starch produces a texture like boba; use whatever you like!
If eating this mochi on its own, I recommend topping with a black sugar syrup (kuromitsu) and kinako, but anything will do.
