Hi bloggers and food lovers, how are you all doing? Hope you’re having a great day, guys. Do you like chewy treats like mochi? Yeah, yesterday I just made some mochi myself, the chewy texture paired with a sweet cream filling is the best part when you take a bite. I’ve been really into strawberries lately, and since I had some in the fridge, I decided to make strawberry mochi this time. Okay, let’s get right to it
Ingredients:
- 120 grams glutinous rice flour
- 20 grams cornstarch
- 200 ml strawberry milk
- a pinch of salt
- 1 packet vanilla powder
- 1 tbsp margarine
- 50 grams toasted cornstarch
- 100 grams powdered whipped cream
- 2 tbsp sweetened condensed milk
- cold water
- sliced strawberries
Instructions:
- Put the glutinous rice flour into a bowl
- Add the cornstarch to it
- Pour the strawberry milk into the bowl
- Stir until well combined
- Strain the mixture to remove any lumps
- Steam the mochi mixture for about 20 minutes over low heat
While waiting for the mochi to cook place the whipped cream powder in a bowl
Add the sweetened condensed milk
- Add cold water to the bowl
- Beat the mixture until the whipped cream forms stiff peaks
Add the strawberry slices and stir until well combined
Set aside or chill in the refrigerator briefly
- Remove the mochi mixture and spread margarine on top
- Stir while still hot using a spatula, or flip it back and forth with a silicone mat until the dough becomes smooth and elastic
Sprinkle with toasted cornstarch, then divide the dough into 8 portions
Take a portion of dough and sprinkle it with toasted cornstarch before rolling it out
- Shape the mochi dough like this
- Place whipped cream and strawberry slices on top of the mochi
Fold the mochi closed and trim off the excess
Repeat until all the dough is used up
- Dust lightly with more toasted cornstarch to prevent sticking
Decorate with melted chocolate mixed with margarine to make it look cuter
Chill in the refrigerator for about 5 hours, or freeze for 2 hours to achieve an ice cream-like texture
- The strawberry mochi is ready to eat
