Add Food Coloring
If using, add food coloring to the mixture and stir until evenly distributed.

Microwave the Mixture
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, leaving a small vent. Microwave on high for 1 minute. Stir the mixture, then microwave for another minute. Repeat this process until the mixture becomes thick and translucent (about 3-4 minutes total).

Dust with Cornstarch
On a clean surface, sprinkle cornstarch generously. Once the mochi dough is cool enough to handle, transfer it onto the cornstarch-dusted surface.

Shape the Dough
Dust your hands with cornstarch and flatten the mochi dough into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick. Cut into squares or circles, depending on your desired shape.
