Step 1
In a microwave-safe bowl, whisk together 1 cup glutinous rice flour, 2 tbsp sugar, and 1 tsp matcha powder. Gradually stir in 3/4 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 2 tbsp cornstarch. Turn out the mochi and let cool slightly until handleable, about 5 minutes.
Step 4
Knead the mochi gently with cornstarch-dusted hands until smooth, then shape into a log and cut into 12 equal cubes.
Step 5
Thread 3 cubes onto each of 4 bamboo skewers. In a small bowl, mix remaining 2 tbsp sugar with 1 tsp matcha powder and 2 tbsp hot water to make a syrup.
Step 6
Drizzle the matcha syrup over the skewers and serve immediately. Enjoy the chewy texture!
