Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the Mochi
  • 1 cup glutinous rice flour Ensure you use glutinous rice flour for the best texture.
  • 1/4 cup sugar Adjust based on your sweetness preference.
  • 1 cup water Room temperature.
For the Filling
  • 1 ripe mango diced Ensure the mango is ripe for the best flavor.
  • Cornstarch for dusting To prevent sticking.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the glutinous rice flour, sugar, and water until you have a smooth batter.
Cooking
  1. Prepare your steamer by placing a heatproof dish or plate inside. Pour the batter into the dish and steam it over medium heat for about 20 minutes, covering with a lid to lock in moisture.
  2. Once the mochi is cooked, remove it from the steamer and let it cool slightly.
Assembly
  1. Dust a clean surface with cornstarch to prevent sticking. Once cooled, divide the mochi dough into equal portions (about eight pieces). Flatten each piece and place a small spoonful of diced mango in the center. Fold the edges over the mango to seal it.
  2. Roll each piece of mochi in cornstarch to coat and remove any stickiness.

Notes

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 1-2 days, or in the fridge for up to a week. Freeze for up to 3 months.
