Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Glutinous rice flour
- 0.25 cup Sugar
- 0.75 cup Water
- 0.5 cup Cornstarch
- 0.5 cup Mango puree (fresh or canned)
- 0.125 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Cornstarch (for dusting)
- 1 teaspoon Vegetable oil (optional, for hands)
Instructions
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the glutinous rice flour, sugar, and salt. Gradually add the water while stirring until a smooth batter forms.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, leaving a small vent for steam. Microwave on high for 1 minute, then stir the mixture.
Cover and microwave for another 1 minute. Stir again. Repeat this process in 30-second intervals until the mixture is thick and sticky, about 3-5 minutes in total depending on your microwave.
While the mochi is cooking, lightly dust a clean surface with cornstarch to prevent sticking.
Once the mochi is cooked, transfer it onto the cornstarch-dusted surface. Be careful, as the dough will be hot and sticky.
Use a rolling pin dusted with cornstarch to roll the mochi dough into a thin layer, about 1/4 inch thick.
Cut the mochi into approximately 8 equal squares. Dust your hands with cornstarch or lightly coat with vegetable oil if desired to prevent sticking.
Place a small spoonful of mango puree in the center of each mochi square.
Fold the corners of the mochi square to the center, pinching them together to seal and form a round mochi ball. Make sure there are no gaps to prevent leaking.
Roll the filled mochi in your hands to smooth the surface. Dust with additional cornstarch if needed.
Repeat the process with the remaining mochi squares and mango puree.
Serve the nut-free mango mochi immediately or chill them in the refrigerator for a firmer texture.
