Pink Mochi⁠

Ingredients⁠:

• 3/4 cup Glutinous Rice Flour/Mochiko Rice Flour⁠
• 1 tsp Pitaya Powder⁠
• 3/4 cup Water⁠
• 1/4 cup Sugar⁠
• 1/3 cup Potato Starch, Shredded Coconut⁠
• 1 cup Red Bean Paste/Dark Chocolate Frosting⁠

Directions⁠:

1. Roll the red bean paste/dark chocolate frosting into marble-size and place in the freezer until firm⁠
2. Whisk together the glutinous rice flour, pitaya powder, and sugar⁠
3. Add the water and mix well until combined⁠
4. Place the dough into a pan and place it in a steamer. Steam on high heat for 15 minutes⁠
5. Use a knife and divide the mochi equally into squares⁠
6. Take out one square at a time, place the red bean/dark chocolate ball in the center, wrap until fully enclosed and roll in the potato starch/shredded coconut⁠

Tips:⁠

• For easier wrapping, make sure the filling is frozen solid⁠
• You can try microwaving it on high power; 1 minute, stir, 1 minute, stir, 30 seconds (until the dough look translucent-like)⁠
• Once the mochi comes into contact w the potato starch/shredded coconut, it will not stick - so make sure the mochi is fully sealed before powdering it⁠
• Shredded coconut is the best option if you wish to hide flaws⁠
