  • 1/2 cup Warabi starch (bracken starch)

  • 2 tbsp Matcha powder
  • 2 tbsp Kinako (roasted soybean flour)
  • 1 tbsp Sugar

Instructions

  1. 1In a saucepan, combine warabi starch, water, and matcha powder. Mix well until the starch is fully dissolved.
  2. 2Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly with a spatula, until the mixture thickens and becomes translucent. This will take about 10-15 minutes.

  4. 4Using a spoon or spatula, drop small portions of the mochi into a bowl of cold water to cool further and set their shape.
  5. 5In a separate bowl, combine kinako and sugar for the topping.
  6. 6Remove the warabi mochi from the cold water and drain well. Coat with the kinako-sugar mixture before serving.
