Various Ways To Cook Mochi
A nonstick pan is the easiest way to cook blocks of mochi, but there are several other methods to grill or cook mochi, such as:
- Grill – Grilling the mochi on a barbecue or stovetop grill pan is a traditional method. The mochi can be placed on the grill until it becomes crispy and golden brown.
- Oven – The mochi can be baked in the oven by placing it on a baking sheet and baking it until it is golden brown and crispy. This method is excellent if you want to make a large batch of mochi.
- Toaster oven – A toaster oven is a quick and easy way to cook small batches of mochi. Simply place the mochi in the toaster oven and cook until it is crispy and golden brown.
- Microwave – The mochi can also be cooked in the microwave by placing it on a plate with a little water and microwaving it until it becomes soft. The mochi texture is different, but this method is time-saving as it takes only a few minutes and requires minimal effort.
How To Eat Yaki Mochi
You can tear the mochi into bite-sized pieces and dip them into the sauce. Or drizzle the sauce over the mochi before taking a bite. You will enjoy the combination of flavors and textures either way!

Yaki Mochi With Sweet Soy Sauce (Grilled Mochi Recipe)
Equipment
Ingredients
Instructions
- Cut kiri mochi into half.
- Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Place the mochi pieces onto the pan and cook for 3 minutes or until slightly golden brown.
- Flip the mochi pieces over to cook the other side for 3 minutes and make sure the inside is soft.
- Make a dipping sauce by blending soy sauce and sugar and serve with the mochi.
Notes
- Mochi should be enjoyed with caution as a potential choking hazard, especially for the elderly and small children. Cut the mochi into small pieces and chew very well when eating.
- Serve immediately. If mochi is left out for too long, it can become dry and lose its soft texture.
- You can use a grill pan, toaster oven, regular oven, or microwave for cooking mochi. See “Various Ways To Cook Mochi” for more information.
- Add more or less sugar to adjust the sauce’s sweetness to your liking.
- If you are trying a mochi recipe for the first time, I highly recommend kiri mochi. This Sato no kiri mochi is a famous brand and is pre-cut with a slit, which makes it easier to break apart by hand and cook evenly.
