Strawberry Mochi
Ingredients
Mochi Dough
- 100 g glutinous rice flour
- 20 g cornstarch
- 20 g confectioners’ sugar
- 180 g milk
- 12 g unsalted butter
Filling
- 200 g heavy cream
- 20 g granulated sugar
- 1 g salt
- 6 fresh strawberries
Topping
- 6 fresh strawberries
Instructions
- In a clean bowl, mix well glutinous rice flour, cornstarch, sugar, and milk. Grab a nonstick pan, pour all the batter in, add in unsalted butter, keep stirring over medium heat until thickened and a dough ball forms. The dough ball will not stick to the pan, and the texture is quite translucent and stretchy.
- Dust the working surface and the dough with more cooked glutinous rice flour, wear gloves; keep kneading the dough until it becomes very stretchy. Divide the dough into six equal pieces and roll them into 6 round flat sheets.
- In a clean bowl, bring together heavy cream, sugar and salt, and use a hand mixer to beat until stiff peaks form. Transfer into a piping bag.
- Assemble the mochi. Pipe in the whipped cream, place a fresh strawberry in the middle, cover it with more cream, wrap it up and put it into a cupcake liner. Garnish it with cream and one fresh strawberry.
