Preparation
Not specified
Cooking
- - Combine the sweet rice flour, sugar and salt in a microwave safe mixing bowl.
- Whisk it well.
- Add the water and mix them well.- Cover the bowl with cling wrap leaving a little gap for steam to escape.
- Put the bowl into a microwave and heat it up for about 1 min (based on 1250W).- Take the bowl out and stir the mixture around with a wooden spoon or spatula.- Return the bowl, covered again, into the microwave and heat it up for a further 1 mins.
- (The cooking time can vary depending on your microwave.
- If the desired consistency is not yet achieved, cook it for a little bit longer.)- Remove the bowl from the microwave.
- With a wooden spoon/spatula, mix and massage around the rice cake mixture until it cools down enough to touch (about 5 mins).
- Lightly scatter the corn starch on the board.
- (This is for anti-sticking purpose.) Carefully remove the mochi mixture from the bowl and place it on the board.
- Knead it to one long dough while scattering the corn starch over it.
- Then, using a scraper, divide the dough into 6 pieces.
- Gently flatten and open up the dough on your palm (large enough to fit a ball of red bean paste) then place the red bean paste ball in the middle.
- Seal the rice cake by gathering the corners of the dough.
- Roll the mochi around on the corn starch and place it in a disposable baking cup facing the gathered point down.
- Repeat this step with the remaining ingredients.
- Serve at room temperature.
