For a colorful twist, add a drop or two of food coloring to the mochi mixture before microwaving. Get creative with fillings! Wrap the mochi around red bean paste (anko), ice cream, or fresh fruit. Store leftover mochi in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. If storing longer, refrigerate to prevent spoilage; the texture may change slightly. Experiment with flavor extracts like vanilla, almond, or coconut for a unique twist.
