Description
A sweet and chewy treat combining the deliciousness of strawberries with the unique texture of mochi.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup Sweet Rice Flour (Mochiko)
- 1/4 cup Granulated Sugar
- 3/4 cup Water
- Fresh Strawberries
- Cornstarch (for dusting)
- Sweet Red Bean Paste (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare your strawberries by washing them, removing stems, and slicing large ones in half.
- Mix the mochiko dough by combining sweet rice flour, sugar, and water in a microwave-safe bowl.
- Cook the mixture in the microwave for 3-4 minutes, stirring every minute until semi-translucent and sticky.
- Cool the dough slightly on a cornstarch-dusted surface.
- Shape the mochi by flattening a portion of dough, adding a strawberry, and sealing it.
- Repeat until all strawberries are wrapped.
- Chill the mochi in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Notes
Dust the mochi with cornstarch to prevent sticking. These can be made a day in advance and stored in an airtight container.
