Ingredients

MOCHI Ingredients

  • 400 grams silken tofu (also called soft tofu)
  • 120 grams glutinous rice flour
  • 20 grams corn starch
  • 40 grams sweetener (I use Stevia)

FILLING Ingredients

  • 100 grams greek yoghurt (I use skim)
  • 25 grams sweetener
  • 150 grams strawberries

For dusting on counter (to prevent sticking)

  • 20 grams corn starch

Instructions

  • Add the silken tofu to a blender and blend until completely smooth.
  • In a large microwave-safe bowl, whisk together the glutinous rice flour, corn starch, and sweetener.
  • Pour in the blended silken tofu and mix until a smooth, thick batter forms.
  • Cover the bowl with cling wrap and poke a few small holes in the top to allow steam to escape.
  • Microwave for 2 minutes, then remove and stir well. Return to the microwave for a further 2 minutes, or until a soft, stretchy dough forms. Allow the dough to cool for at least 5 minutes before handling.
  • Lightly dust your work surface with corn starch and divide the mochi into 8 equal portions.
  • Roll or gently stretch each portion into a thin round. Place the mochi wrapper into a small bowl to help hold its shape.
  • Add your Greek yoghurt and fruit filling to the centre. Fold the edges over the filling and pinch together to seal, shaping into a ball. For a higher filling-to-mochi ratio, trim away any excess dough with scissors after sealing.
