Ingredients
1 cup glutinous rice flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup coconut milk
1/4 cup water
1 tablespoon neutral oil
1 cup ripe mango puree
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 pinch salt
1/2 cup cornstarch or potato starch for dusting
Instructions
1. Blend the mango puree with lemon juice and a pinch of salt until smooth.
2. If the mango puree is thin, simmer it for 3 to 5 minutes until thick, then chill completely.
3. In a microwave-safe bowl, whisk glutinous rice flour, sugar, coconut milk, water, and oil until smooth.
4. Cover loosely and microwave for 1 minute, then stir well.
5. Microwave again in 30-second intervals, stirring each time, until the dough is thick, glossy, sticky, and slightly translucent.
6. Dust a board generously with cornstarch or potato starch.
7. Transfer the hot mochi dough to the dusted board and sprinkle more starch over the top.
8. Let the dough cool until comfortable to handle.
9. Divide the dough into 10 to 12 equal pieces.
10. Flatten each piece into a round, keeping the center slightly thicker than the edges.
11. Add a small spoonful of chilled mango filling to the center.
12. Pinch the edges closed, roll gently into a ball, and place seam-side down.
13. Chill for 20 to 30 minutes before serving.
Notes
Use glutinous rice flour, not regular rice flour, because regular rice flour will not create the chewy mochi texture.
Keep the mango filling thick and chilled before shaping so the mochi is easier to seal.
Dust your hands and work surface well, but do not knead too much starch into the dough or the mochi can taste dry.
