1. Mix ingredients
   Thoroughly mix KOMEKO Mochiglück, matcha powder, and sugar in a heatproof bowl. Gradually add the water, stirring until a smooth, lump-free mixture forms.
2. Heat the mochi dough
   Cover the bowl with foil or a heat-resistant lid and place it in the microwave at 500 W for 5 minutes.
3. Knead mochi dough
   Remove the bowl from the microwave and mix or knead the finished mochi dough thoroughly until it is elastic and smooth. The dough should be slightly sticky but still easy to work with. Because the dough contains matcha, you may need to knead it for a few minutes longer to achieve elasticity.*
4. Prepare the dough
   Dust a baking tray (e.g., a baking sheet or a plastic tray, approximately 20x25 cm) with potato starch and spread the dough into it to prevent it from sticking. Dust the dough with a little potato starch and spread it out or flatten it with your hands.
5. Prepare the filling
   Form 12 small balls from the sweet red bean paste.
6. Forming mochi
   Divide the cooled dough into 12 equal pieces and shape them into flat circles (approximately 7 cm in diameter). Place the balls on each circle and carefully wrap the dough around them. Press the ends together at the bottom to form a round mochi ball.
7. Finish and serve
   Lightly dust the finished mochi with starch and let it rest briefly before serving. Enjoy fresh!

*If you don't have a microwave, you can also prepare the dough in a steamer (see KOMEKO basic recipes for mochi dough).
