Instructions
 

  • Use a spoon or fill a piping bag with Nutella. Drop 10 blobs onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Freeze for 20 to 30 minutes. This will firm them up and make them easier to handle later.
  • Combine glutinous rice flour and sugar in a microwave-safe bowl. Whisk in water until smooth.
  • Cover the bowl with a wet paper towel. Microwave the mochi mixture for 1 minute and then stir with a spatula. Repeat two or three times until it's sticky and translucent. Let it cool for 5-10 minutes.
  • Dust a work surface with cornstarch. Place the mochi dough on it, dust it with more cornstarch, and roll it out into a thin layer about ¼-inch thick. Divide into ten portions.
  • Place a frozen Nutella in the center of a rolled-out mochi dough. Pull the sides of the dough over the Nutella to enclose it. Pinch the sides to seal. Dust lightly with cornstarch and then brush off the excess. Place it seam-side down and then repeat with the remaining dough and Nutella. Enjoy!

Notes

Storage: Refrigerate leftover mochis in an airtight container for up to two days. After more than two days, the mochi tends to dry out.
