For a smoother mochi texture, sift the glutinous rice flour before mixing. If the dough is too sticky to handle, add more cornstarch to your hands and the work surface. To prevent the mochi from drying out, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. You can use different fillings, such as chocolate, fruit, or ice cream.
