Mango Mochi

Delightful mango-flavored mochi that’s chewy and refreshing.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pieces ripe mangoes, pureed
  • 1 cup glutinous rice flour
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup water
  • as needed tablespoon cornstarch (for dusting)

Instructions

  1. Begin by peeling the mangoes and removing the pit. Puree the mangoes in a blender until smooth.
  2. In a large bowl, mix the glutinous rice flour and sugar together.
  3. Slowly add the water to the flour mixture while stirring until you form a smooth dough. If the dough is too dry, add a little more water.
  4. Lightly dust a clean surface with cornstarch. Take small amounts of dough and flatten them into circles.
  5. Place a spoonful of mango puree in the center of each circle.
  6. Carefully fold the dough over the mango puree and pinch the edges to seal it well. Shape it into a ball if you’d like.
  7. Repeat this step with the remaining dough and mango puree. Dust the finished mochi with cornstarch to prevent sticking.
  8. Serve the Mango Mochi chilled or at room temperature. You can place them on a plate and sprinkle some extra mango puree or coconut flakes on top for a delightful presentation.

Notes

Use the ripest mangoes possible for best flavor. Experiment with different fillings if desired.
