Ingredients
  

  • 2 ½ tablespoons (20 grams, 0.71 ounces) glutinous rice flour (mochiko flour)
  • ⅓ cup (55 grams, 1.94 ounces) potato starch plus extra for work surface
  • 3 teaspoons (18 grams, 0.60 ounces) sweet black sesame paste or to taste
  • 1 tablespoon black sesame seeds lightly toasted
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (250 ml/grams, 8.82 ounces) milk room temperature

Instructions
 

  • Heat a non-stick saucepan over medium heat. Add the glutinous rice flour, potato starch, sweet black sesame paste, lightly toasted sesame seeds, sugar and salt. Mix until combined.
  • Reduce the heat to low and add the milk in gradually. Stir until combined and lump free.
  • When the mixture begins to come together into a dough like texture, keep stirring and turn off heat.
    Keep mixing until all the mixture sticks together into a ball. Allow to cool slightly so that it is not too hot to touch.
  • Place the mixture on a surface lightly dusted with potato starch. It can help to lightly dust your hands as well with potato starch. This will make it easier to work with.
  • Roll into a log about 25 cm (9.8inches) long by 7 cm (2.7 inches) wide. Cut in half lengthwise and then cut into bite size pieces.
  • Place cut pieces into the refrigerator for 30 minutes or until it becomes chewy. Or simply enjoy once it has come to room temperature.
