Ingredients

• 1 cup glutinous rice flour
• 0.5 cup sugar
• 0.75 cup water
• 0.25 cup cornstarch
• 0.5 cup mango puree
• 0.5 cup ripe mango, diced
• 0.5 cup coconut milk

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, combine glutinous rice flour and sugar.

Step 2

Gradually add water and coconut milk to the flour mixture, stirring continuously until a smooth batter forms.

Step 3

Pour the mixture into a heatproof bowl or a glass container.

Step 4

Steam the batter over boiling water for 10-12 minutes until it becomes a sticky dough. Stir the dough halfway through steaming for even cooking.

Step 5

Transfer the cooked dough to a clean surface dusted with cornstarch.

Step 6

Allow the dough to cool slightly, then knead it with more cornstarch until it's easy to handle and no longer sticky.

Step 7

Divide the dough into 8 equal portions. Flatten each portion into a round disc with your hands.

Step 8

In the center of each disc, place a spoonful of mango puree and a few diced mango pieces.

Step 9

Carefully pinch the edges of the disc to enclose the filling, shaping it into a ball.

Step 10

Lightly roll each mochi ball in excess cornstarch to prevent sticking.

Step 11

Let the mochi sit for a few minutes before serving, allowing the dough to set further.
