warningStay safe

Freshly steamed mochi is extremely hot. Always knead through a towel and never touch directly with bare hands to prevent severe burns.

Put the hot mochi skin into an oiled heat-resistant plastic bag, tie the opening, wrap in a towel, and knead repeatedly for 2-3 minutes until soft and elastic.

Watch out

The mochi skin must be kneaded while hot to develop elasticity, otherwise it hardens as it cools.
