Ingredients

Mochi

  • 90 g glutinous rice powder
  • 2 tsp cornstarch
  • 2 tbsp icing sugar
  • 150 ml coconut milk
  • 90 ml water
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil

Assembling

  • Vegetable oil, for brushing
  • ¼ cup glutinous rice powder
  • 2 large Nam Dok Mai mangoes or Carabao mangoes

Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the glutinous rice powder, cornstarch, and icing sugar. Then add in the rest of the wet ingredients and whisk until no lumps remain.
  • Brush a little vegetable oil on the bottom of the baking tray (I’m using a 9x9 inch tray).
  • Sieve the mixture and cover with foil.
  • Cover and steam over high heat for 8-10 minutes (it should feel firm and lightly springy to the touch, and not stick to your hand). Let cool for a bit (I usually wait until it’s warm enough to handle so that the mochi is still slightly sticky). Then, divide into 4 even squares.
    Alternatively, you can microwave it for 1 minute in 3 intervals, stirring after each time.
  • Meanwhile, stir fry 1/4 cup of glutinous rice powder in a pan over low heat until it’s heated. Set aside to cool.
  • Slice and scoop out the mangoes.
  • Sprinkle some toasted glutinous rice powder onto your work surface (I like doing it on a large piece of plastic wrap to prevent the mochi from sticking).
  • Place a piece of mochi onto the powder, followed by half of a whole mango. Fold the corners together and pinch to seal shut. Dust with extra toasted powder. Slice in half (or eat as a whole) and enjoy!
