Recipe Card

ingredients

  • 3/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon (100 g) glutinous rice flour
  • 1/4 cup (30 g) cornstarch
  • 3 tablespoons (30 g) sugar
  • 2/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon (165 ml) whole milk
  • 1/2 cup (150 g) Nutella®
  • Cornstarch, for dusting

Method

  • Step 1

    Add about an inch of water into a large pot. Place a steamer rack at the bottom of the pot and bring the water to a gentle boil.

  • Step 2

    In a heat-proof bowl, whisk together glutinous rice flour, cornstarch, and sugar until well-combined. Add in milk and whisk until no lumps remain.

  • Step 3

    Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and poke several holes into the wrapping with a fork. Steam the bowl for 25 minutes.

  • Step 4

    Remove the bowl from the steamer and let it rest for 10-15 minutes until the mochi dough is cool enough to handle by hand. Dust your workspace and a rolling pin lightly with cornstarch to prevent sticking. Using a spatula, scoop out the dough onto the workspace and roll it out into a thin rectangle.

  • Step 5

    Cut the dough into eight 3-inch circles, re-combining and re-rolling out any leftover dough as needed.

  • Step 6

    Pipe approximately 19 g (about 1 tablespoon) of Nutella® into the center of each circle and pinch the ends of the dough together to enclose.

  • Step 7

    Dust the seams lightly with cornstarch to prevent sticking. Place the mochi seam side down to serve at room temperature.
