Glutinous Rice Flour 450g

Traditionally,  glutinous rice flour is used to make various types of Asian desserts and treats, including mochi. Despite being gluten-free, it can enhance the sensory properties of the food.

To make 8 mochis you will need:

• 1 cup sweetened red bean paste (or other fillings)
• 1 cup glutinous rice flour
• 1 teaspoon green tea powder (matcha) (optional)
• 1 cup water
  
• ¼ cup white sugar
• ½ cup potato starch or cornstarch, for rolling out the dough
  

Directions

1. Wrap red bean paste in aluminium foil and place in the freezer until solid, for at least 1 hour.

2. Mix glutinous rice flour and green tea powder thoroughly in a microwave-safe bowl. Stir in water, then sugar; mix until smooth.

3. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and microwave for 3 minutes 30 seconds (it is possible to find recipes without a microwave)

4. Meanwhile, remove red bean paste from the freezer and divide it into 8 equal balls. Set aside.

5. Remove the rice flour mixture from the microwave. Stir and heat, covered, for another 15 to 30 seconds.

6. Dust a work surface with cornstarch. Roll about 2 tablespoons of the hot rice flour mixture into a ball. Flatten the ball and place one ball of frozen red bean paste in the centre. Pinch and press the dough around the bean paste until completely covered. Sprinkle with additional cornstarch and place mochi, seam-side down, in a paper muffin liner to prevent sticking.

7. Repeat Step 6 to make the remaining mochi.
