- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/4 cup cornstarch (for dusting)
Instructions
- Prepare the Watermelon: Cut watermelon into 1-inch cubes or puree for smoother filling.
- Make the Mochi Dough: In a microwave-safe bowl, mix glutinous rice flour and sugar; gradually add water to form a smooth batter.

- Fill and Seal: Place a watermelon cube in the center of each disc, fold and seal the mochi around it to form a ball.
