Roll the dough out while it’s still hot, then cut out discus with a cookie cutter (or a glass). I would go with the same color as your filling! Be generous with starch (corn starch, or tapioca starch, which we used) to make it easier to work with when you knead the dough: the excess starch will be brushed off.

Mochi has been enjoyed for centuries and spawned different variations. You’ve likely seen foodie photos of this new ice cream fad that’s taken over Instagram and the whole country. It is believed to be a Japanese-American spin-off from mochi, a traditional Japanese dessert, made with steamed and pounded mochigome (a short grain glutinous rice).
