Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup glutinous rice flour
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 3/4 cup coconut milk
  • 1 ripe but firm fresh mango, diced into small cubes
  • Potato starch or cornstarch, for dusting and handling mochi

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Mango Filling: Dice fresh mango into small, bite-sized cubes. Keep them chilled so they remain firm and juicy when placed inside the mochi.
  2. Mix the Mochi Dough: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the glutinous rice flour, sugar, and coconut milk. Stir until the mixture forms a smooth, lump-free batter.
  3. Cook the Dough: Microwave the batter in 30-second intervals, stirring after each session, until the dough becomes sticky, thick, and translucent. This usually takes about 2 to 3 minutes.
  4. Shape the Mochi: Dust your work surface generously with potato starch to prevent sticking. While the dough is warm but manageable, flatten it into a circle about 1/4 inch thick.
  5. Fill and Seal: Place a mango cube in the center of the dough circle. Carefully fold the edges over the mango, pinch to seal, and gently shape into a smooth ball. Repeat until all dough and mango pieces are used.
  6. Final Dusting: Lightly coat each mochi ball with potato starch to prevent them from sticking to each other or your fingers.

Notes

  • Use ripe but firm mangoes to avoid mushy filling.
  • Work quickly as mochi dough cools and becomes harder to shape.
  • Keep potato starch handy for dusting hands and surfaces to manage stickiness.
  • Do not over-sweeten the dough to let the mango’s natural flavor shine.
  • Store mochi in an airtight container to maintain softness; avoid refrigeration to prevent hardening.
