Scale
- 1 cup Sweet rice flour (Mochiko)
- 1/4 cup Granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup Water
- 8 medium Fresh strawberries
- 1/4 cup Potato starch
Instructions
- Step 1: Prepare Strawberries – Wash and hull the strawberries, pat them completely dry with paper towels, and set aside on a clean plate
- Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients – In a microwave-safe bowl, combine sweet rice flour and sugar, mixing well until evenly distributed
- Step 3: Add Water – Gradually add water to the dry mixture, stirring continuously until the mixture is completely smooth with no lumps
- Step 4: Cook Dough – Cover with plastic wrap and microwave on high for 1 minute, stir, cover again, and heat for another minute until translucent
- Step 5: Prepare Work Surface – Dust your clean work surface generously with potato starch to prevent sticking
- Step 6: Shape Mochi – Transfer hot dough to starch-dusted surface, let cool slightly, divide into 8 portions, and flatten each into a disc
- Step 7: Wrap Strawberries – Place one strawberry in the center of each disc, fold edges over strawberry, and seal tightly by pinching seams
- Step 8: Final Rest – Place finished mochi on parchment paper and let cool completely for 10-15 minutes before serving
Notes
- Choose strawberries that are firm but ripe for the best balance of sweetness and structural integrity
- Work quickly while the mochi dough is still warm but not burning hot for easier manipulation
- Keep unused dough portions covered with damp cloth to prevent surface drying during assembly
- Dust your hands with potato starch frequently to prevent the sticky dough from adhering to your fingers
