Basic Sweet Mochi (An Mochi) Recipe

• 1 1/2 cups mochiko, plus more for dusting
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1 1/3 cups water
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons light corn syrup

1. Place mochiko and salt in a large bowl and stir until thoroughly combined.
2. Combine water, sugar, and corn syrup in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
3. Reduce to a simmer and cook, stirring, until sugar is dissolved, about 5 to 6 minutes.
4. Make a well in the center of the mochiko mixture and pour in the sugar syrup.
5. Stir until all flour is incorporated.
6. Immediately turn dough onto a work surface lightly floured with mochiko and knead until smooth and elastic, about 4 to 5 minutes; dust with more mochiko as needed to prevent sticking.
7. Pinch off tablespoon-size pieces and, using a floured rolling pin or your hands, flatten into 3-inch circles about 1/8 inch thick.
8. Dust rice cakes with mochiko and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
9. Cover in plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator or freezer, or use as desired.
