Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup glutinous rice flour
- 1 cup mango purée
- 1/3 cup water
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- Cornstarch or potato starch, for dusting
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Prepare a microwave-safe dish by lightly greasing or lining it.
- In a bowl, mix glutinous rice flour, mango purée, water, maple syrup, and a pinch of salt until smooth.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared dish and spread evenly.
- Microwave on high in 1-minute intervals, stirring between each, for about 3 minutes or until translucent and sticky.
- Let the mochi cool slightly until safe to handle.
- Dust a surface with starch and turn out the mochi dough. Flatten and cut into squares.
- Place a small spoonful of chilled mango purée in the center of each piece and fold edges to seal.
- Roll in more starch to prevent sticking and serve or chill.
Notes
- Use ripe mangoes for the sweetest flavor.
- Chilling the filling makes it easier to handle.
- Wear gloves to manage the sticky dough more easily.
- Store in the fridge up to 3 days or freeze for later.
