Ingredients You Will Need
Mochi Dough:
- 2 cups of mochiko (sweet rice flour)
- 1 1/2 cups of sugar
- 2 cups of water
- Red food coloring
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- Extra mochiko for dusting
Filling Options:
- Red bean paste
- Strawberry jam
- Vanilla ice cream
- Fresh sliced strawberries
Instructions
1. Make the Mochi Dough
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mochiko and sugar. Slowly add in the water and vanilla extract, stirring until the mixture becomes a smooth and thick dough. If you want to make half of the dough red and the other half white, divide the dough in half and add a few drops of red food coloring to one half. Knead the dough until the color is evenly distributed.
2. Steam the Mochi
Fill a large pot with a few inches of water and place a steamer basket on top. Bring the water to a boil. While waiting for the water to boil, use a small spoon to scoop out small balls of dough and shape them into 1-inch balls. Lightly dust them with extra mochiko to prevent sticking. Place the balls in the steamer basket, leaving some space in between each one. Cover the pot with a lid and steam for 10 minutes, or until the mochi is soft and slightly translucent.
3. Assemble the Mochi
Remove the mochi balls from the steamer and let them cool for a few minutes. Once cool enough to handle, flatten each ball into a 3-inch circle and place a small amount of your desired filling in the center. Pinch the edges of the dough together to seal the filling inside. Repeat this process until all the mochi balls are filled.
4. Serve and Enjoy
Place the mochi on a platter and decorate with a few pieces of fresh fruit. The red and white color combination is not only visually appealing but also symbolizes happiness and good fortune in the new year. Serve your homemade red and white mochi to your family and friends and enjoy this tasty treat together as you welcome the new year.
With this simple recipe, you can easily make your own red and white mochi at home to celebrate the new year. Customize the filling to your liking and enjoy this delicious and traditional dessert with your loved ones. Happy New Year!
