Mango Mochi recipe 芒果糯米糍食譜
This makes about 20-28 mochi balls, depends on the size you're making
Ingredients:
- 200g glutinous rice flour
- 150g sugar
- 250ml coconut cream (coconut cream makes it smell nice and taste a bit sweeter than coconut milk) or 165ml coconut milk
- 165ml water
- 1 mango, diced
- Some shredded coconut
Method:
1. Prepare the ingredients.
2. Turn on the cooker to medium heat and pour the water and sugar into the pot and boil till the sugar melts. (Don't forget to mix it a bit so the sugar doesn't go dark and burn.) Then pour in the coconut milk/coconut cream and cook until it boils.

| I used coconut cream. It was a mistake at first because i was supposed to use coconut milk instead of coconut cream. But coconut cream still worked out well and tasted nicer than coconut milk. |

| Starting to boil... :D |
4. Pour the boiled liquid (water + melted sugar + coconut cream/coconut milk) into the mixing bowl with the flour.
5. Mix the liquid and flour fairly fast until it becomes a dough-like texture. If you don't mix it fairly fast, the liquid and the flour won't combine as well.
6. Grease a STAINLESS STEEL plate with 1 or 2 drops of oil and then place the dough into the plate. If you don't have a stainless steel plate, use a plate that you can use to steam with, but if you have a stainless steel plate, i strongly recommend you to use it.
7. After placing the dough onto the plate, spread it across the plate and make it even.
8. Prepare a steamer, or pot if you don't have a steamer. Steam for about 20 minutes on high heat. Check if it is ready by poking it with a wooden skewer or chopstick. If it sticks onto your chopstick then it should be done. If you are still not sure, pick a piece and try and see if it is a bit dry when you are eating it but with a bit of moisture as well. If you think it is not ready, steam it for another few minutes.
9. Prepare a bowl or pot with ice. Then put the cooked dough with the plate on top of the ice. This cools the dough down and makes it easier to work with later.
10. Pour some shredded coconut into a bowl or plate.
11. Wear disposable plastic gloves, or use cling film if you don't have any. Tear or cut a small piece of dough and flatten it. Put a few diced mango on the centre of the flattened dough and wrap it. Try not to let the juicy mango through the dough if not it will be hard to stick. If this does happen, simply pinch a bit of the ends on each side and twist it then stick back onto the dough.
12. Put the mochi into a pool of shredded coconut, cover the mochi with shredded coconut.
If you don't like shredded coconut, just heat up some glutinous flour in the microwave for 1 minute and cover the mochi with the flour.
Some people prefer to eat it cold, if you do, then place the mochis in the fridge for 1-2 hours. You can also have it in room temperature.
Good Luck!
