I always wanted to try making this Japanese style dessert during strawberry season.
Using the microwave makes the mochi so easy to make. Easy, cute and delicious!
I recommend this as a springtime dessert or to give as a gift.

With this strawberry daifuku recipe, you can change the shiro-an sweet white bean paste and strawberry filling to make different kinds of daifuku. I hope you'll try using seasonal fruit to make all kinds of fruit daifuku. For 10 pieces. Recipe by Okunko

Steps

1

Sprinkle katakuriko on a tray. Wash the strawberries, drain, and hull.
2

Roll the shiro-an sweet white bean paste into balls, about 20g of bean paste per ball.
3

Wrap the strawberries from Step 1 in the bean paste balls from Step 2. When you finish wrapping the strawberries, chill in the refrigerator.
4

Put the shiratamako in a heat-proof bowl and add water a little bit at a time, stirring as you go. Break up lumps as you stir.
5

Mix the sugar and microwave for 4 - 5 minutes. Every 30 seconds, take the mixture out of the microwave and stir well. It's ready when the mixture becomes translucent.
6

Transfer the mixture to the tray you prepared in Step 1. Divide into 10 equal portions.
7

Wrap the strawberries from Step 3 with the mochi you made in Step 6. Begin from the tip of the strawberry and wrap the whole strawberry with the mochi.
8

Placing the sealed ends down, roll the daifuku into balls. Sprinkle katakuriko on top and you're done.
9

Work quickly so you can finish making the daifuku before the mochi hardens.
