Milk Kuzu Mochi

Place Milk, Sugar and a pinch of Salt in a saucepan, add Tapioca Flour and quickly mix all well.

Heat over medium-low heat, stirring consistently. It will start to clump up, but you must keep stirring. When it is quite thick and clears the bottom of the pan, it’s done.

Alternatively you can cook in microwave in medium power. Cooking time depends on your machine. My machine takes 6 minutes at 600W.

Wet the inside of a square container, and pour in the mixture. Using a wet spatula, smooth the top as nicely as you can. Let it cool down, then refrigerate until completely cold.

Cut into cubes, and serve with Kinako and Muscovado Syrup.

*How to make Muscovado Syrup: Combine 1 cup Muscovado (dark brown sugar) and 1/2 cup Hot Water in a saucepan and heat over medium-low heat until thickened slightly. Do not over-thicken because it will get hard when cold.
