Ingredients

  • cooking spray
  • 1 pound mochiko (glutinous rice flour)
  • 2 ½ cups white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 (14 ounce) can coconut milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon red food color
  • ¼ cup potato starch, or as needed

Directions

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9×13-inch pan with cooking spray.

Step 2
Whisk mochiko, sugar, and baking powder together in a bowl.

Step 3
Combine water, coconut milk, vanilla, and food coloring in a medium bowl. Blend in dry ingredients, then pour into the prepared pan. Cover with foil.

Step 4
Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour. Remove from the oven and let cool completely, 30 minutes to 1 hour.

Step 5
Dust a work surface with potato starch. Invert the pan onto the work surface. Use a plastic knife to cut into 36 squares.

Tips

The dango mochiko can be sticky to cut. They won't stick as much if you use a plastic knife.
