Get soft, chewy, creamy milk mochi in under two minutes by using the microwave! This mochi is more of a Taiwanese style mochi, rather than Japanese. But it is perfect for plopping on top of all sorts of desserts.
I prefer mochiko over tapioca starch for a more mochi-like texture. Tapioca starch produces a texture like boba; use whatever you like!If eating this mochi on its own, I recommend topping with a black sugar syrup (kuromitsu) and kinako, but anything will do.
