I am sure some of you have never imagined there is a soup sweets recipe in Japanese cuisine! You can taste this hidden sweets at Japanese sweets shops or cafes.

Directions:
1. Grill the premade mochi until it becomes brown color.
2. Knead the Shiratamako and water in a mixing bowl until the dough is as soft as an earlobe.
*The more you knead it, the softer the dumplings become.
3. Shape the dough into a ball. Divide it into 4 pieces.
4. In a pot, bring water to a boil. Add all the dumplings to boiling water.
Once the dumplings start floating on top of water, continue boiling them for another 3 minutes.
5. Place dumplings in iced water and let them cool.
