One of my favorite desserts! The juiciness of the strawberry and the chewy mochi dough pair so well together.

Ingredients

40 mins
7-8 daifuku
  1. 7-8strawberries
  2. 1 cansweetened red bean (7.4 oz) or anko (sweet red bean paste)
  3. mochi dough:
  4. 1/2 cupmochiko
  5. 1/2 cupwater
  6. 1 tbspsugar
  7. potato starch (or cornstarch) for surface

Cooking Instructions

40 mins
  1. 1

    Pour the can of sweetened red beans in a pot over low-medium heat to evaporate some of the moisture. Stir occasionally to avoid burning and let thicken, about 10 mins. If using the paste, you can skip this step.

  2. 2

    Wash and thoroughly dry the strawberries. Cut off the stems.

  3. 3

    Cover the strawberries in the anko paste. Chill in the fridge while we make our dough.

  4. 4

    In a microwave safe bowl, add in all of the mochi dough ingredients and mix. Cover and put in the microwave at 30-second intervals, mixing in between. Do this until you get a sticky dough, about 3-4 times (1:30 or 2 minutes total).

  5. 5

    Cover your surface with some potato starch. Making sure to coat your hands and rolling pin with the starch, roll out the dough and divide into however many strawberries you have.

  6. 6

    Cover the strawberries with the dough, pinching it all together at the bottom.

  7. 7

    These taste the best fresh, but you can store them in the fridge by saran wrapping each individual one. Just take them out 10 minutes before you serve to soften the mochi dough. Enjoy! :)

Hi! My name is Ayaka and I'm a Japanese/Korean - American with a love for eating good food, which led to a passion of trying to make said good food.What started off as a necessity in college to cut costs bloomed into something I love as I kept experimenting in the kitchen. I love sharing traditional cultural recipes and recipe ideas that come at random times in the day (my first savory oats series idea came to me in the shower, which I then proceeded to make immediately after at 1am from being so excited lol).Hope you like these recipes - I'd love to know what you think of them!Watch my recipe videos here!:TikTok: @ayaeats (tiktok.com/@ayaeats)Instagram: @aya_eats_ (instagram.com/@aya_eats_)
