Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup glutinous rice flour (sweet rice flour)
- 1/2 cup fresh mango puree (blended mango)
Sweeteners:
- 1/4 cup sugar
Instructions
- Transform ripe mangoes into a silky, vibrant puree using a blender until completely smooth.
- Combine glutinous rice flour, sugar, and freshly prepared mango puree in a microwave-safe bowl, mixing until the texture becomes uniform and no lumps remain.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, creating a small steam vent, and microwave at high power for 2 minutes to initiate the cooking process.
- Carefully remove the bowl, stir the mixture thoroughly to distribute heat evenly, then return to the microwave for an additional 1-2 minutes until the dough becomes translucent and develops a sticky consistency.
- Generously dust a clean work surface with cornstarch or potato starch to prevent sticking, then gently manipulate the warm mochi dough, either shaping it into delicate balls or creating pockets to fill with extra mango puree for an intensified fruit flavor.
- Serve immediately for optimal taste and texture, or preserve in an airtight container for up to 2 days, keeping the mochi soft and fresh.
Notes
- Perfectly puree ripe, sweet mangoes for the most intense flavor and smooth texture in your mochi.
- Ensure glutinous rice flour is fresh and clump-free by sifting before mixing to guarantee a silky mochi consistency.
- Control microwave power carefully to prevent overcooking, which can make mochi tough and chewy instead of soft and stretchy.
- Generously dust work surfaces with starch to prevent sticky dough from clinging and tearing during shaping.
