Recipe: Mochi with red bean paste filling

This is my first time trying to make mochi, surprisingly quite easy to make. Just need to take some time to get used to wrap the glutinous rice paste with red bean paste filling inside, otherwise your hands will be all sticky.

1 cup glutinous rice flour
1 tbsp sugar
3/4 cup water

Mix glutinous rice flour with sugar and then stir with water until well mixed. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and microwave for 4 mins. Cool down for few mins. You will need to hold plastic wrap to scoop the glutinous rice paste by hand, flatten the paste and then put a teaspoon of red bean paste in the middle to seal into a round ball. That's the only difficult part.

Lay all the mochi on plastic wrap with cover. After few hours, you can pick mochi up by hand without sticking to your fingers. You may also blend water with pandan leaves to make green color mochi. Mochi can last in fridge for about 3 days.

Enjoy!
