Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large peaches (see notes)
- 1 cup glutinous rice flour (or mochiko flour)
- ¼ cup sugar
- 1 cup water
- ½ cup cornstarch (for dusting)
Instructions
- Start by boiling a medium pot of water. Use a knife to cut a small cross at the bottom of the peaches. Add the peaches to the pot and cook them for one minute. Then, remove the peaches and immerse them in a large bowl of cold water to stop them from cooking further. Once cool, peel the skins off the peaches and cut them in half.
- In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine the glutinous rice flour and sugar. Whisk in the water until smooth. Cover the bowl with a wet paper towel and microwave the mixture for 1 minute. Stir and repeat twice more, until the mochi is thick and sticky. Allow the mochi to cool for 5-10 minutes before proceeding to the next step.
- Dust your work surface with cornstarch. Place the mochi on the surface, dusting it with more cornstarch. Roll out the dough into a circle about ⅙-inch thick and use a pastry brush to remove excess starch. Divide the mochi into four portions. For each piece, place a half peach at the center. Pull the sides of the mochi over the peach to enclose it completely. Once done, dust the mochi with additional cornstarch and remove any excess using a pastry brush. Place each mochi seam-side down.
Notes
- Choose ripe peaches for the sweetest and juiciest results. They also make peeling easier.
- If the dough feels too sticky, don’t hesitate to dust it with more cornstarch.
- Ensure the mochi cools enough before rolling it out to prevent burns and make handling easier.
- Experiment with different fruits for varied flavors, but ensure they’re not too juicy to avoid soggy bites.
