Norimaki Mochi: Rice Cakes with Sweet Soy Sauce Wrapped in Seaweed

Prepare the sauce. Mix soy sauce and sugar in a small bowl. Heat in microwave until sugar dissolves. Place fresh mochi on a plate, microwave for 15 to 30 seconds on high until it is soft and pliable but still maintains its round shape. Coat the mochi with the sweet soy sauce mixture, wrap in a piece of nori, and enjoy immediately. Use additional sweet soy sauce mix to dip the mochi for added flavor.
