Ingredients
  

For the Mochi
  • 1 cup Glutinous Rice Flour Essential for that signature chewy texture; remember, it’s gluten-free!
  • 1/2 cup Fresh Strawberry Puree Infuses natural sweetness and a beautiful pink hue; frozen strawberries can be substituted, just thaw and drain well.
  • 1/4 cup Sugar Helps balance the tartness of strawberries; feel free to adjust based on your sweetness preference.
For Dusting
  • 1/4 cup Extra Glutinous Rice Flour Prevents sticking when handling the mochi; always keep your workspace dusted!

Equipment

  • food processor
  • Steamer Basket
  • Mixing bowl

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by blending fresh strawberries in a food processor until smooth. If using frozen strawberries, allow them to thaw completely and drain excess moisture.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine glutinous rice flour, strawberry puree, and sugar. Stir until well blended and smooth.
  3. Transfer the mochi mixture to a heatproof dish, ensuring it is spread evenly. Place the dish in a steamer basket over boiling water and steam for 15 to 20 minutes.
  4. Once steaming is complete, remove the dish and let the mochi cool slightly. Dust your hands with glutinous rice flour.
  5. Dividing the mixture into small portions, shape each piece into a ball or disc, dusting generously with glutinous rice flour.
