In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the glutinous rice flour and granulated sugar. Mix thoroughly to evenly distribute the sugar.
In a separate bowl, combine the mango puree and water, and stir until well-blended.
Gradually add the liquid mixture to the flour mixture, stirring continuously until a smooth batter forms without lumps.
Cover the bowl loosely with plastic wrap, leaving a small opening for steam to escape.
Microwave the mixture on high for 2 minutes. Remove from the microwave, stir the mixture with a wet spatula to ensure even cooking, and break up any clumps.
Return the bowl to the microwave and heat for another 1.5 minutes on high. The mochi should be more translucent and sticky at this stage.
Generously dust a clean surface with cornstarch and turn the mochi dough out onto it. Be careful as the dough may be very hot.
Dust your hands and a rolling pin with cornstarch to prevent sticking. Gently roll the dough to a thickness of about 1/4 inch.
Cut the mochi dough into 2-inch squares or use a cookie cutter for desired shapes.
Allow the pieces to cool completely before serving. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature.
