Red Bean Mochi

Actually this was a test for something I am intending to make as I had extra red bean left from my Green Tea Mousse & Red Bean cake, but it turned out to be pretty good.

Mochi turned out to pretty soft and not too chewy. This was achieved by adding some rice flour to the mix, as I initially tried one batch without rice flour and it turned out to be too chewy when cooled.

Recipe

Glutinous Rice Flour 80g
Rice Flour 20g
Sugar 20g
Water 120ml
Corn/Potato starch for dusting

1. Mix all the dry ingredients together. Add in water and mix well until no more lumps.
2. Pop into the microwave at High for 30 seconds.
3. Stir and microwave at High for 20 seconds.
4. Repeat step 3 for another 2-3 times until you get an off-white coloured sticky paste. Go slow so that you do not overcook it and end up with it being too dry.
5. Allow it to cool. It will be very sticky, so dust the mochi and your hands with corn starch.
