Ingredients
Scale
2 cups of glutinous rice flour
1 cup of water
1 pound of fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
½ cup of sugar
¼ cup of cornstarch
1 pinch of salt
Instructions
Start by washing the strawberries thoroughly. Hull them by removing the green tops and slicing them into thin pieces. Sprinkle a tablespoon of sugar over the sliced strawberries and allow them to macerate for about 10 minutes.
In a large mixing bowl, combine glutinous rice flour, remaining sugar, and salt. Gradually add water while stirring to form a smooth batter without lumps.
Pour the mixture into a heatproof dish that fits into your steaming setup. Prepare your steamer by bringing water to a boil, then carefully place the dish in the steamer and cover it. Steam for about 15 minutes or until the mochi becomes translucent and sticky.
Once steamed, let the mochi cool slightly. Dust a flat surface with cornstarch. With clean hands, take small portions of mochi and flatten them into circles. Place a slice of the prepared strawberries in the center of each circle and pinch the edges to seal them.
Roll the finished mochi in a little cornstarch to prevent stickiness. Arrange them beautifully on a serving platter.
Notes
Fresh Strawberry Mochi offers a delightful way to satisfy your sweet tooth without feeling heavy afterward. This Japanese-inspired dessert captures the essence of strawberries and glutinous rice, creating a chewy and refreshing delicacy that is perfect for any occasion.
