Ingredients
  

For the Mochi Dough
  • 1 cup Sweet Rice Flour Essential for that chewy mochi texture; don’t substitute with regular flour.
  • 1/4 cup Granulated Sugar Adds sweetness; coconut sugar can offer a different taste profile.
  • 1 cup Water Activates the dry ingredients for the dough.
For the Filling
  • 10 pieces Fresh Strawberries Provide a burst of juicy sweetness; if using frozen, thaw and pat dry.
For Dusting and Handling
  • 1/2 cup Cornstarch Prevents sticking; potato starch can be an alternative.

Equipment

  • microwave-safe bowl
  • Plastic wrap
  • Paper Towel
  • Knife

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Wash the fresh strawberries thoroughly under cold water, hull them, and pat dry with a paper towel.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine sweet rice flour, granulated sugar, and water, stirring until smooth.
  3. Cover the bowl and microwave in one-minute intervals for 2 to 3 minutes until sticky and glossy.
  4. Dust your work surface with cornstarch and turn out the hot mochi dough to cool slightly.
  5. Divide the dough into golf ball-sized portions, flatten each into a round disc about 3 inches wide.
  6. Place a strawberry in the center of each disc, fold the edges over the strawberry, and seal well.
  7. Roll the mochi in cornstarch, arrange on a plate, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  8. After chilling, serve the mochi on a platter, adding a drizzle of condensed milk or matcha if desired.
