    Maybe it’s the brand but I used glutinous rice flour of different brand and the dough did not get sticky at all. I can’t recommend this recipe in microwave as it was total disaster for me.

    • You need to use Mochiko flour, not rice flour. They are both totally different !

      • Mochi is best made with mochiko flour.

  3. Hi there,
    What is that black mold
    Thing that you place the Mochi into?

    • Aloha. It’s old mochi ice cream container I used just to hold the filling to chill. You don’t need that to make this.
