Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium microwave-safe bowl, blend 1 cup of glutinous rice flour and ¼ cup of sugar until evenly combined. Gradually whisk in 1 cup of water until smooth to create a thick batter.
  2. Cover the bowl and microwave on high for 1 minute, stir, and repeat this process for a total of about 3 minutes until thick and translucent.
  3. Remove the bowl from the microwave and allow the mochi dough to cool for 5-10 minutes on a cornstarch-dusted surface.
  4. Dust your hands with cornstarch and transfer the dough to the surface, cutting it into eight equal pieces.
  5. Flatten each piece in your palms, place a piece of ripe banana in the center, and pinch the edges together to seal.
  6. Enjoy immediately or refrigerate for up to an hour before serving.
