Ingredients
- 100 grams glutinous rice flour mochiko flour
- 180 ml water
- 50 grams sugar 1.76 ounces
- ¼ teaspoon ube extract
- Pinch of salt
- 130 grams red bean paste sweet, 4.59 ounces
- corn starch to dush work surface
Instructions
- In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine the glutinous rice flour, water, sugar, ube extract and salt. Mix until there are no lumps.
- Cover the bowl with a microwave-safe lid and place the bowl on a plate. Microwave for about 1 minute and 30 seconds to 2 minutes, until the mixture begins to form a paste.
- Remove the plate and bowl from the microwave and stir the mixture. Be careful when you open the lid as the mixture will be very hot and steamy.
- Place in the microwave again and heat for another 15 – 30 seconds. Remove from microwave and stir until there is no more liquid and the dough has come together. Allow the dough to cool slightly.
- Lightly dust your workspace with corn starch. Flatten the mochi dough into a rectangle that is 0.5 mm thick.
- Using a 6cm (2.4”) cookie cutter, cut the dough into circles. With any leftover dough, combine it into a ball and make it into another rectangle. Repeat cutting the dough into circles until the dough is all used up.
- In the center of each circle, fill with 1 teaspoon of red bean paste. Fold the sides of the circle into the middle and pinch together to close the dough. Repeat for all balls.
- Coat each mochi lightly with some corn starch. This will help them to not stick to each other when you store them or serve them. Place seam side down and serve.
Notes
- * The two common types of red bean paste are Japanese and Chinese sweet red bean paste. Chinese sweet red bean paste can contain lard which makes it a lot richer than Japanese red bean paste. For this recipe, I used a Japanese sweet red bean paste.
