We know Japan for its delicious dishes that we love so much (gyozas, ramen or even bento), but what about the pastries? Today we are going to discover mochi, small sweets often served at tea ceremonies and naturally gluten-free, made from glutinous rice flour, sugar and water. We chose to fill them with peanut butter for maximum indulgence, but feel free to get creative with the fillings! :-) Follow our step-by-step recipe below ↓

Ingredients

2/3 cup glutinous rice flour
1/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup cornstarch
2/3 cup peanut butter (about 8 Tbsp)
0.6 cup water

Materials

Pan
Spatula
Rolling pin
Clingfilm

Preparation

Place a tablespoon of peanut butter in the center of a square of cling film.
Fold the cling film towards the center to form a ball. Seal it and place the peanut butter balls in the freezer for about 15 minutes (while you prepare the mochi dough).
The mochi dough:
In a pan, combine the water and sugar over medium heat until the sugar is completely dissolved in the water.
Then add the glutinous rice flour and incorporate it well.
Continue to stir (still over medium heat), until the dough thickens and comes away from the edges of the pan.
When the dough forms a smooth ball, place it on a work surface dusted with cornstarch and let it cool for a few moments.
Roll out the dough with a rolling pin to form a rectangle.
Cut the rectangle into eight equal parts.
Remove the peanut butter balls from the freezer and place them in the center of each piece of dough.
Fold the dough towards the center of the mochi to seal it (you can dip your fingers in water to make it stick better) and form a ball.
And there you have it—your peanut butter mochi are ready!

FAQ ❓

What fillings should you use for mochi?

Traditionally, mochi is filled with a sweet red bean paste. Some versions contain pieces of fruit, but you can also get creative and fill them with chocolate ganache, spread, or even ice cream to make ice cream mochi!

How should you store mochi?

Ideally, mochi should be eaten soon after making it for the best texture, but you can store it for around 3 days in an airtight container away from light, at a temperature of 14–19°C. Storing mochi in the refrigerator is not recommended, as it may harden.

Can you put mochi in the freezer?

You can put mochi in the freezer if you decide to make an ice cream-filled version. However, we do not recommend freezing the mochi in this recipe.
