Mochi is a traditional Japanese rice cake made from mochigome (glutinous rice). To make it at home, you'll typically steam or microwave a dough of mochiko flour, sugar, and water until it's pliable. It's then shaped, often around a sweet filling like anko (red bean paste), and dusted with cornstarch to prevent sticking.
