Ingredients
  

  • 3 ½ tablespoons (28 grams, 1 ounce) glutinous rice flour (mochiko flour or sweet rice flour)
  • cup (55 grams, 1.94 ounces) corn starch corn flour, plus extra for work surface
  • 2 ½ tablespoons (25 grams, 0.88 ounces) white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon matcha powder plus extra to garnish
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup (80 grams, 2.82 ounces) white chocolate chips
  • ½ cup (125ml/grams, 4.41 ounces) milk room temperature
  • ½ cup (125ml/grams, 4.41 ounces) heavy whipping cream room temperature

Instructions
 

  • Heat a non-stick saucepan over low to medium heat.
    Add the glutinous rice flour, corn starch, white sugar, matcha powder salt, and white chocolate chips. Mix until well combined and the chocolate has melted. (see note 1).
  • Next, reduce the heat to low. Slowly add in the milk and cream. Stir until combined and there are no lumps.
  • Once the mixture starts to come together like a dough, keep stirring and turn off the heat. When the mixture has shaped into a ball, allow it to cool slightly so that it is not too hot to touch.
  • When the dough is cool, place on a work surface that has been lightly dusted with corn starch.
    Roll into a log that is about 25 cm (9.8 inches) long by 7 cm (2.7 inches) wide. Cut in half lengthwise and then cut into bite size pieces.
  • Place in refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow it to become firmer. Dust with extra matcha powder and then serve.

Notes

  1. Stir frequently so that your flour does not burn.
