Mango Mochi

Ingredients

• Glutinous rice flour: 1 cup, for the chewy base of the mochi.

• Fresh mango puree: 1/2 cup, blended until smooth for a fruity flavor.

• Sugar: 1/4 cup, to sweeten the mochi dough.

Instructions

1. Blend fresh mango until smooth to create a puree. Measure 1/2 cup and set aside.

1. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine glutinous rice flour, sugar, and mango puree. Stir the mixture until smooth and lump-free.

2. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, leaving a small vent for steam. Microwave the mixture on high for 2 minutes.

3. Remove the bowl from the microwave, stir thoroughly, and microwave for an additional 1-2 minutes until the dough becomes sticky and translucent.

4. Dust your work surface with cornstarch or potato starch to prevent sticking. Transfer the mochi dough to the surface and let it cool slightly. Roll out the dough and shape into balls, or fill with additional mango puree for an extra burst of flavor.

5. Serve the mango mochi fresh, or store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
