Mochi with Strawberry and Red Bean Paste Filling
Mochi with a fresh strawberry and red bean paste filling.
Ingredients
- 1 cup glutinous rice flour, (Mochiko or any other brand)
- 1/4 cup icing sugar
- 2/3 cup water
- 1/2 cup red bean paste
- 8 small strawberries, stems removed
- cornstarch or potato starch , for dusting
Instructions
- Wrap a strawberry with about 1 heaping tbsp of red bean paste and form a ball, so that the strawberry is covered in a thin layer of bean paste. Make 8 balls.
- Put 2/3 cup of water and 1/4 cup of sugar in a heat-resistant bowl and mix well. Add glutinous rice flour in the bowl and mix well. Put the bowl in microwave and heat the dough for two minutes. Stir the dough with a strong spoon. Heat the dough in microwave again for approximately 1 minute. Stir the mochi quickly.
- Dust a flat surface and the palm of your hand with some corn starch. Remove a chunk of hot mochi dough from the bowl and flatten and thin out dough. Put strawberry ball on mochi dough and wrap the mochi dough around it and squeeze to seal ends. Repeat the process until all the dough has been used up. The dough should be worked with while hot.
