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

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup mochiko or tapioca starch
  • 2 tbsp sugar

Instructions

  • 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.

Notes

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.
