• Grease a 9 x 13-inch glass baking dish with canola spray, then pour mixture into dish.
• Cover pan with foil, sealing completely.
• Bake for 1 hour. The edges of the dish might appear slightly hard and over-baked, while center of the dish will appear moist, but should be solid and sticky.
• Remove foil, and allow mochi to cool completely.
• Dust a clean flat surface, such as a cutting board, with potato starch. Using a knife, cut the edges away from the pan if it hasn't separated from the dish during baking. Turn the baking dish out onto the surface. You might need to use a metal spatula to scrape the mochi out.
• Using a knife also coated with starch, cut mochi into small, bite-sized cubes. (You may also cut mochi straight from baking dish, but we've found that the mochi pieces can tend to stick together.)
• Roll bite-sized pieces of mochi in potato starch, and dust off excess before serving.
