Ingredients
Red Bean Filling
- 5 strawberries stems removed
- 5 oz red bean paste (also called anko)
Chocolate Filling
- 5 strawberries stems removed
- 4 oz chocolate chips semi-sweet
- 4 tablespoons milk
Mochi
- 1 cup mochiko sweet rice flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 cup water
- 3 tablespoons strawberry optional, crushed dehydrated
- cornstarch for dusting
Instructions
For Red Bean Filling:
- Divide red bean paste into 5 equal-sized balls, about 1 oz each.
- Dampen your hands with water, this will make it easier to handle the red bean paste. Take a ball of red bean paste then gently mold it around one of the strawberries so the fruit is completely covered in the red bean paste. Repeat for the remaining 4 other strawberries and red bean paste. Set aside.
Cup of Yum
For Chocolate Filling:
- Line a baking sheet with wax paper then set aside.
- Add chocolate chips and milk in a microwave-safe mug. Microwave for 20 seconds at a time, stirring in between until chocolate is melted.
- Use a fork or skewer to dip strawberries into the chocolate. Place on wax paper-lined baking sheet then freeze them for at least 1 hour.
Prepare Mochi:
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine Mochiko sweet rice flour, sugar, water, and dehydrated strawberries. Cover in plastic wrap, poke a few holes to allow steam to release, then microwave for about 1 minute. Stir mochi dough then microwave for another minute, or until it's set in the center.
- Dust a clean dry surface with a little cornstarch to prevent sticking. Pour the mochi dough onto the surface, being very careful because it'll be hot. Dust the mochi dough with a little more cornstarch.
- Use a rolling pin to flatten it into a ½-inch thick rectangle. Cut the mochi into 10 equal squares then cover with plastic wrap.
Assembling Strawberry Mochi:
- Dust your hands with cornstarch. Place one strawberry on top of one of the mochi squares, flat side down.
- Wrap the strawberry with the mochi working upwards towards the top, then pinch and twist at the strawberry tip so it's completely sealed.
- Dust with a little cornstarch to prevent sticking then repeat for the remaining strawberries. Serve and store at room temperature. Enjoy!
