Steps
1. In a mixing bowl, combine glutinous rice flour, coconut milk, sugar, and salt until smooth.
2. Pour the mixture into a microwave-safe dish and cover with plastic wrap.
3. Microwave on high for 1 minute, then stir. Repeat this process two more times until the mixture is thick and sticky.
4. Dust a clean surface with cornstarch and pour the mochi mixture onto it.
5. Allow it to cool slightly, then knead gently with cornstarch-dusted hands.
6. Shape into small balls or flatten into discs, dusting with cornstarch to prevent sticking.
7. Serve as is or with toppings like grated coconut or sweetened red bean paste.
