Instructions

In a mixing bowl, combine the glutinous rice flour, granulated sugar, and water. Mix until well combined.
Microwave the mixture for 1 minute, then stir with a wooden spoon.
Microwave the mixture for an additional 30 seconds, or until it becomes a smooth dough.
If using food coloring, add a few drops to the dough and mix until well combined.
Dust a work surface with potato starch or cornstarch.
Transfer the dough to the dusted surface and knead until smooth.
Divide the dough into 16 equal portions.
Roll each portion into a ball.
Flatten each ball with a rolling pin into a disc, about 2 inches in diameter.
Dust each disc with potato starch or cornstarch to prevent sticking.
Place a small amount of filling (chopped peanuts) in the center of each disc.
Fold the edges of the disc over the filling and pinch to seal.
Dust the mochi with potato starch or cornstarch to prevent sticking.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
