Ingredients

• 1 cup Sweet rice flour (mochi flour)
• 2/3 cup Granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup Cocoa powder
• 1 cup Water
• 1/4 cup Cornstarch (for dusting)
• 1/2 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips

Directions

Step 1

In a microwave-safe bowl, mix together the sweet rice flour, granulated sugar, and cocoa powder until well combined.

Step 2

Gradually add the water to the dry ingredients, stirring continuously until the mixture is smooth and lump-free.

Step 3

Cover the bowl loosely with plastic wrap or a microwave-safe lid, leaving a small opening for steam to escape.

Step 4

Microwave the mixture on high for 2 minutes.

Step 5

Remove the bowl carefully (it will be hot) and stir the mixture with a spatula to even out the texture.

Step 6

Microwave for an additional 1 to 2 minutes until the mochi is thoroughly cooked and slightly translucent.

Step 7

Place a generous amount of cornstarch on a clean surface. Transfer the hot mochi to the cornstarch-covered area to prevent sticking.

Step 8

Allow the mochi to cool slightly, then break off a small portion and flatten it into a disc.

Step 9

Place a few chocolate chips in the center of the mochi disc.

Step 10

Fold the edges of the mochi over the chocolate chips, pinching them together to seal.

Step 11

Gently roll the mochi in more cornstarch to coat all sides and prevent sticking.

Step 12

Repeat the process until all the mochi dough and chocolate chips are used.

Step 13

Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days.
