This recipe makes it easy to create soft and chewy "Soy Milk Kinako Mochi" by simply heating it in the microwave for just 2 minutes. The simple process involves mixing soy milk, potato starch, and sugar, heating it in the microwave, and then coating it with kinako and sugar. Since it doesn't require cooking on a stovetop, it's recommended even for beginner cooks. It's especially soft when freshly made, and tastes even better with brown sugar syrup or red bean paste. You can also use sweetened soy milk or cow's milk instead of unsweetened soy milk, making it perfect for when you want to easily enjoy a Japanese sweet.
