作り方

手順

1. 1

   Combine the glutinous rice flour and sugar in a medium, heatproof bowl.

   約1 分

2. 2

   Gradually add the water to the flour mixture, whisking continuously until a smooth batter forms.

   約2 分

   調理のヒント： Ensure there are no lumps for a smooth mochi texture.

3. 3

   Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap, leaving a small vent for steam to escape.

4. 4

   Place the bowl in a steamer basket over simmering water and steam for 10 minutes, or until the mixture is translucent and sticky.

   約10 分

   調理のヒント： The mochi will become very firm and almost bouncy when cooked through.

5. 5

   Carefully remove the bowl from the steamer and let it cool slightly for a few minutes.

   約2 分

   調理のヒント： The mixture will be very hot, so handle with care.

6. 6

   Dust a clean work surface generously with cornstarch.

   約1 分

   調理のヒント： This prevents the sticky mochi from adhering to the surface and your hands.

7. 7

   Transfer the warm mochi dough onto the cornstarch-dusted surface.

8. 8

   Dust your hands with cornstarch and gently knead the mochi dough for a minute or two until it is smooth and pliable.

   約2 分

   調理のヒント： The kneading helps to develop the characteristic chewy texture.

9. 9

   Roll the mochi dough into a log and cut it into 8-10 equal pieces.

   約2 分

   調理のヒント： Use a sharp knife or a dough cutter for clean cuts.

10. 10

    Shape each piece into a ball or your desired form, dusting with more cornstarch as needed to prevent sticking.

    約3 分

    調理のヒント： You can fill the mochi with sweet bean paste or fruit at this stage if desired.

11. 11

    Allow the mochi to cool completely at room temperature before serving.

    約30 分

    調理のヒント： Cooling improves the texture and makes them easier to handle.
