How To Store Fresh Mochi

• Portion the mochi out into individual-sized pieces
• Coat the mochi portions in corn or potato starch. This will help keep the mochi soft and stop the portions from sticking together or to the container
• Wrap each portion in plastic wrap. The plastic wrap helps to stop the mochi from drying out. If you’re trying to cut down on plastic waste, you can skip this step and flash freeze the coated mochi balls instead.
• To flash freeze, put the mochi pieces on a baking tray so they’re not touching and put them in the freezer for 2-3 hours
• Put the wrapped or partially-frozen mochi into a larger freezer-proof bag or airtight container
• Label the container and put it in the freezer
• The fresh mochi will last for two weeks in the freezer
