#MANGO MOCHI FULL#

Doing this helps prevent the surface of the Mochis drying out.

So it was an automatic response for me to roll the filled Mochis in desiccated coconut. Over ripe mangoes that are squishy or mangoes that are too juicy do not work well here. But whatever mangoes you use, they must be fully ripe and firm. While choosing mangoes, pick those that are ripe and fragrant. We will need just about eleven ½ inch cubes of mangoes for stuffing our dough. And that is what I have used in this recipe. Thai mangoes are in abundance in Singapore now. So I chose to add artificial mango essence instead. But I was not sure how the dough would behave if I were to add pureed mango. I wanted these Mochis to have a predominant mango flavor. This will make mixing and incorporating it into the batter easily. The vegan butter has to be at room temperature and soft while adding to the mixture. Like I mentioned, I did not see why regular butter should be added to a recipe that can easily be made vegan. If you are using regular dairy milk, please use whole milk. You can also use regular dairy milk in its place. Since I wanted this to be a vegan version, I opted to use unsweetened almond milk. However, canned coconut milk will not work well here. While picking coconut milk, I recommend that you buy the ones that come in Tetra Pak. The first one we need is unsweetened coconut milk. You can also use icing sugar in the place of regular powdered sugar. You will need sugar that has been powdered very finely for this recipe. Before using, please remember to check the expiry date. So kindly check the labels twice before buying. While it looks just like rice flour, it behaves in a very different way. This is made by milling a short grain rice cultivar and this is rich in starch. Glutinous rice flour is not the same as rice flour. You can find this in Asian stores or you can also order online on Amazon. This is sometimes referred to as sticky rice flour or sweet rice flour or Mochigomeko or Mochiko. The main ingredient in this recipe is the glutinous rice flour. While I have walked past several aisles stacked from top to bottom with glutinous rice flour for years, it took some Mochi addiction for me to buy that packet. Living in Singapore means one thing- It is that I have access to all south east Asian specialty ingredients. But for now, let us delve into the finer details of making Mochi, shall we? Jump to: You can read more about the history of this dish here. But the concept has now evolved and broadened to the point where we make Daifuku with fresh fruit filling or ice cream filling as well. Traditionally, these are filled with red bean filling. The Japanese eat this on the Japanese New Year Day specifically but it is also enjoyed year round.įilled Mochi balls are called Daifuku.

This is basically a rice cake made with glutinous rice flour.

Today, the world identifies this chewy treat as a Japanese delicacy.

I believe the Mantou buns are a cousin of these. Mochi is believed to have originated in China. Join our Facebook group for more Instant Pot and Air Fryer Recipes.

Have you had a go at this chewy Japanese style chilled dessert? Exactly when did this mildly sweet dessert become a gourmet trend? Or does it matter really?
