1 12-oz package mochi

Preheat oven to 450 degrees or use toaster oven for baking small amounts. Cut mochi into 2-oz squares with a sharp knife,
or divide along the scored lines found on some brands. Place pieces of mochi on a baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes or
until mochi puffs up and becomes lightly browned and crisp on the outside. Remove from oven, cut open, and stuff with filling
of choice. Serves 6.
