Ingredients

½ cup Tapioca Starch
1 cup Milk
3 tbsp Sugar
4 tbsp Sesame Powder

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

In a pot, add in Tapioca Starch, Milk, and 2 tbsp of Sugar. Mix till there are no clumps and it is smooth.
On a plate, add in sesame powder and 1 tbsp of sugar and mix.
Bring the pot over to the stove and turn the heat up to medium-low. Keep stirring until the milk becomes thick; this process may take around 5-7 minutes but BE PATIENT and keep going! I recommend using a spatula; you want until the milk mixture has thickened into one piece.
Pour the mochi over the powder and coat the milk mochi with the powder. Cut the mochi with your chopsticks and enjoy!

Notes

For those who can’t handle dairy, you can also use soy milk, which is equally delicious!
