Ingredients

Mochi Ingredients

½ cup mochiko flour, sweet rice or glutinous rice flour (70 g)
⅔ cup ripened mango (5 oz) diced, will yield about ½ cup of mango puree

Filling

⅔ cup pastry cream, vanilla pudding or ice cream of choice , read notes*

Instructions

Prepare Puree

Prepare mango puree by blending the diced mango in a mini blender until creamy.

Make the Mochi Dough

In a microwaveable glass bowl (like Pyrex), mix the glutinous rice flour and mango puree.
Microwave the mochi mixture for 90 seconds
Use a SOLID METAL spoon (wooden spoons might break!) to stir the cooked mochi so that the cooked and uncooked parts are evenly mixed
Microwave the mochi mixture again, this time for 60 seconds.
Pour the cooked mochi onto the baking pan lightly greased with oil, and flatten using the palm of your hands once it cools enough to handle.
The mochi dough will be HOT. Either use gloved hands, or wait until it cools enough to handle.
Cut the mochi into 6 pieces using kitchen shears or scissors

Wrap with Filling

Use a small cookie scoop to portion out about 1-2 Tablespoon portions of the mochi filling and wrap the mochi dough around it, pinching the end of the dough with your fingers to seal.
Enjoy!

Notes

*For softer mochi fillings like custard and ice cream, it helps to pre-portion out the filling and keep it in the freezer for 1-2 hours before use. The frozen filling is easier to handle and will keep your hands mess-free.

You can also use other mochi filling of choice, such as store-bought red bean paste or white bean paste (shiro an). For ice-cream fillings, See my GREEN TEA MOCHI ICE CREAM post for the step-by-step guide!
