Ingredients
mochi dough;
- ¾ cup glutinous rice flour (also known as sweet rice flour)
- ¾ cup water
- ¼ cup sugar
- cornstarch for rolling and flouring
fillings;
- ½ cup fresh strawberries diced into small pieces
- 3 Tbsp natural peanut butter (optional, as a second filling)
Instructions
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the ¾ cup glutinous rice flour, ¼ cup sugar, and ¾ cup water. Whisk together until combined.
- Microwave the bowl on high for 1 minute. Remove, and use a spatula to mix together. Lumps are expected. Return to the microwave and heat another 30 seconds. Remove and stir. Return to the microwave for 15-30 second increments until all liquid becomes a sticky dough.
- Ensure the dough is cool enough to handle before proceeding. Sprinkle your board generously with cornstarch, and roll out to about ¼" thickness. Cut out roughly 2" circles.
- Add roughly ½ tsp filling to the center of your mochi dough circle. Fold it up and press together the seams. Set aside and repeat for all remaining filling and dough.
- Serve the mochi fresh. Because of the moisture in the strawberries they will not keep. If desire to make them ahead or keep for more than 8 hours, store them in the freezer and thaw before serving.
