modified to be lower calorie from allrecipes.com Chi Chi Dango Mochi, submitted there by 'dewny' with description:
"Soft and chewy Japanese dessert. A tradition of boy's or girl's day. Great for a snack for picnics or parties. This recipe is easy to make, but do not try cheating and double it. The directions should be followed exactly."

Ingredients

    1 pound mochiko (glutinous rice flour)
    2 1/2 cups splenda for baking (original recipe = white sugar)
    1 teaspoon baking powder
    2 cups water
    1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    1 (14 ounce) can coconut milk LITE (original recipe = regular)
    1 cups potato starch (dusted, as needed - nutrition info for 3/4 cup)

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13 inch pan. Whisk together the rice flour, sugar and baking powder; set aside.
In a medium bowl, mix together the water, vanilla, coconut milk and red food coloring. Blend in the rice flour mixture. Pour into the prepared pan.
Cover the pan with foil and bake for 1 hour. Allow to cool completely.
Turn the pan of mochi out onto a clean surface that has been dusted with potato starch. Cut into bite size pieces using a plastic knife. The mochi does not stick as much to plastic knives.
