Instructions

  1. Prepare a 5-inch square mold by lining it with parchment paper.
  2. Add the mochiko and sugar to a large microwave-safe bowl, and then add about ⅓ of the milk. Stir the mixture together until there are no lumps. Add the remaining milk and continue stirring until it is smooth.
  3. Put the bowl in the microwave oven and set it to cook for 2:30 at 600 watts.
  4. Remove the bowl from the microwave and stir the mixture together until it's mostly smooth. It's okay if you have some small lumps.
  5. Add the butter and stir it into the mixture until the butter is fully melted and incorporated.
  6. Microwave at 600 watts for another 3:30.
  7. Carefully remove the bowl from the microwave oven and use a silicone spatula to knead the mochi together. The mochi is very hot, so be careful not to get it on your hands as you stir. The mixture should get very sticky and turn a translucent white color as you knead it. If this doesn't happen, microwave it for another minute or two.
  8. When you're happy with the texture of your mochi, transfer it to the prepared parchment-lined mold and press the butter mochi into the corners and flatten off the top.
  9. Chill the mochi in the refrigerator for a few hours to firm it up. When it's cooled down, unmold the butter mochi and peel back the parchment paper. Use a sharp knife to cut it into bite-size pieces and then dust each piece with a generous coating of potato starch. Dust the excess starch off of each piece of mochi and serve.
