Ingredients:

For Mochi (makes ~8 small balls):

1 cup glutinous rice flour (mochiko)

3/4 cup water

1/4 cup sugar

Cornstarch or potato starch (for dusting)

Food coloring (optional, for pastel colors)

For Decoration:

Edible black sesame seeds or melted dark chocolate (for eyes/smile)

Edible gold leaf (optional, luxury touch)

Toothpick or food-safe marker (for drawing faces)

For Serving:

Small gold-rimmed bowls or ramekins

Sweetened condensed milk or coconut milk (optional drizzle)

Fruit slices, red beans, or matcha jelly (optional garnish)

Instructions:

1. Make the Mochi Dough:

Mix mochiko, sugar, and water in a microwave-safe bowl until smooth.

Cover with plastic wrap (leave a small gap for steam).

Microwave for 2 minutes, stir well, then microwave again for 1–2 minutes until the dough turns translucent and sticky.

2. Cool and Shape the Mochi Balls:

Dust a clean surface with starch.

Scoop small portions of the hot mochi (careful—it’s sticky!) and shape into round balls using dusted hands.

Let them cool completely.

3. Add Cute Smiles:

Use black sesame seeds or a toothpick dipped in melted chocolate to make eyes and a smile.

Optionally, add a blush effect with a tiny dab of beet juice or pink food coloring.

4. Serve:

Place each mochi in a gold-rimmed bowl.

Drizzle a bit of sweetened coconut milk or condensed milk.

Garnish with fruit, gold leaf, or matcha jelly.

Serve chilled or at room temperature.
