Step 1
In a microwave-safe bowl, whisk together 1 cup glutinous rice flour, 0.5 cup sugar, 2 tbsp matcha powder, and 0.75 cup water until smooth.
Step 2
Cover bowl with plastic wrap and microwave on high for 2 minutes. Stir, then microwave for another 1-2 minutes until the mixture is thick and translucent.
Step 3
Dust a clean surface with 0.25 cup cornstarch. Turn the hot mochi onto it and let cool for 5 minutes.
Step 4
While mochi cools, make the sauce: whisk 0.5 cup sweetened condensed milk with 0.25 cup milk until smooth.
Step 5
Once cool enough to handle, dust your hands with cornstarch and knead the mochi a few times until smooth and elastic.
Step 6
Roll the mochi into a log and cut into 8 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball or leave as is.
Step 7
Serve the mochi with the white sauce drizzled over or on the side for dipping.
