Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C) and line a 9x9-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together melted butter, granulated sugar, and eggs until smooth and creamy. Stir in culinary matcha powder and vanilla extract.
  3. Gradually mix in half of the milk, then the remaining milk, mochiko, and fine sea salt until a thick batter forms.
  4. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 40-50 minutes. Test doneness with a toothpick, it should come out with a few moist crumbs.
  5. Allow brownies to cool in the pan for 30 minutes before adding ganache.
  6. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine white chocolate chips and heavy cream. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until melted. Sift in matcha and mix until combined.
  7. Pour ganache over cooled brownies and chill in the refrigerator for about 45 minutes.
  8. Remove from the fridge, lift out using parchment paper, and cut into 9 squares before serving.
