Instructions to make Doumyouji Sakura Mochi:

  3. In a heat-proof bowl, add the doumyouji-ko and pink colored water from Step 2 and mix well with a spatula.
  4. Cover with plastic wrap and microwave at 500 W for about 4 minutes. (Adjust the cooking time according to the amount you're making, the wattage of your microwave, etc.)
  5. Let the dough steam under the plastic wrap for about 10 minutes. Add sugar and salt and mix well with a spatula in a cutting motion.
  6. Wrap the dough from Step 5 with plastic wrap and roll into a thick bar. Divide the bar into 5 equal portions with a moistened knife.
