Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup Warabi mochiko starch (80g)
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 2 cups water

Kuromitsu

  • 1 tbsp molasses
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup water

Kinako Topping

Instructions 

  • Combine Warabi mochiko starch, sugar, and water in a pot. Cook at high heat, stirring constantly. When the mixture starts getting lumpy, turn down the heat to medium, and continue cooking and stirring until it becomes thick and translucent.
  • Moisten a small baking sheet with water, and transfer the hot warabi mochi mixture to a baking sheet. Spread a little, let cool to room temperature, and refrigerate for 1 hour.
  • For Kuromitsu sauce, combine all the ingredients in a small pot. Let boil for 3 minutes or until very slightly thickened. It will thicken further when completely cooled.
  • Mix Kinako soy powder and sugar together.
  • Right before serving, cut the warabi mochi into squares, coat with the kinako mixture, and top with Kuromitsu.
