Microwave JELL-O Mochi

I am not a big mochi fan, but I decided to make some mochi since I found this super easy Microwave JELL-O Mochi recipe from the old Honolulu Star Bulletin.

My kids ate all the mochi up so quickly I was shocked!  I guess I need to make it again soon!

Microwave JELL-O Mochi

Ingredients:

• 1 3 oz pkg gelatin, any flavor (I used lime)
• 1 c sugar
• 2 c  mochiko 
• 2 c cold water
• Potato starch or cornstarch (I used cornstarch since that's what I had on hand).

Directions:

• Spray a microwave-safe 9-inch square pan with non-stick cooking spray.
• Combine all ingredients and stir until smooth.
• Pour into prepared pan.  
• Microwave on high for 6 minutes. 
• The center will still be soft; stir center and microwave for 3 to 5 minutes longer until entire pan is firm.  
• Cut with a plastic knife. 
• Roll into balls (I also flattened them a little) and coat pieces in corn starch.
