Japanese Mochi Recipe 
Ingredients:
1 ½ cups sweet rice flour, plus more for dusting
½ teaspoon kosher salt
1 1/3 cups water
¼ cup sugar
2 tablespoons light corn syrup

Method:

1. Place sweet rice flour and salt in a large bowl and stir until thoroughly combined.
2. Combine water, sugar, and corn syrup in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce to a simmer and cook, stirring, until sugar is dissolved, about 5 to 6 minutes.
3. Make a well in the center of the rice flour mixture and pour in the sugar syrup. Stir until all flour is incorporated. Immediately turn dough onto a work surface lightly floured with rice flour and knead until smooth and elastic, about 4 to 5 minutes; dust with more rice flour as needed to prevent sticking.
4. Pinch off tablespoon-size pieces and, using a floured rolling pin or your hands, flatten into 3-inch circles about 1/8 inch thick. 
5. Dust rice cakes with rice flour and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover in plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator or freezer, or use as desired. 

Enjoy! :)
