Ingredients
  

Mochi Dough

  • 1 cup sweet rice flour (mochi flour) Provides mochi its unique chewiness.
  • 2 tablespoons sugar Enhances sweetness.
  • 1 cup water Binds ingredients together.

Filling

  • ½ cup Nutella Rich chocolate-hazelnut spread.

For Dusting

  • as needed Cornstarch Prevents sticking.

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the sweet rice flour and sugar. Stir them until they are well mixed.
  • Gradually add in the water, stirring continuously until the mixture becomes a smooth batter with no lumps.
  • Transfer the batter to a microwave-safe dish. Cover it with plastic wrap and microwave on high for about 1 minute. Carefully remove it, stir, and then microwave for an additional minute. Repeat this process one more time, or until the dough becomes sticky and slightly translucent.

Shaping

  • Dust a clean surface with cornstarch to prevent sticking. Transfer the mochi dough onto the cornstarch-dusted surface and allow it to cool for a few minutes.
  • Once cool enough to handle, divide the dough into small pieces (about 2 tablespoons each). Flatten each piece in your hand and place a spoonful of Nutella in the center.
  • Wrap the mochi around the filling, pinching the edges to seal it completely, then gently roll it into a ball.
  • Roll the finished mochi in cornstarch to prevent them from sticking together and set aside to cool completely.
