Description
Discover the perfect, homemade Watermelon Mochi – a delightfully sweet and refreshing treat that’s easy to make in just 5 minutes. These chewy, pillowy mochi are filled with juicy watermelon for a delightful summer dessert.
Ingredients
– 1 cup (150g) mochiko (sweet rice flour)
– 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
– 1/4 cup (60ml) water
– 1 cup (150g) diced fresh watermelon
Instructions
1. 1. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the mochiko and sugar. Add the water and stir until well mixed.
2. 2. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and microwave for 1-2 minutes, until the dough is hot and pliable.
3. 3. Lightly dust a clean work surface with more mochiko. Transfer the hot dough to the surface and knead briefly to smooth it out.
4. 4. Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces. Flatten each piece into a round wrapper, place a small spoonful of diced watermelon in the center, then gather the edges to enclose the filling and pinch to seal.
5. 5. Lightly dust the mochi with more mochiko to prevent sticking.
Notes
Store any leftover mochi in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The mochi can also be frozen for longer storage.
