Pour mixture into 3-quart microwaveable pan, (sprayed with a non-stick coating like Pam for 5 seconds first.) Cover and microwave 10 to 12 minutes, or until mochi has a dry serface and transparent appearance. Remove cover and tilt container to drain excess liquid formed by steam.  Use paper towel to absorb as much liquid as possible, otherwise, liquid will harden katakuriko. Turn cooded mochi onto a large platter or a wood cutting board dusted well with katakuriko.  Dust mochi with more katakuriko. Use a non-serrated plastic knife to cut mochi into bite-size pieces.  Coat all sides with katakuriko.  Makes 40 pieces.
