Soft, chewy mochi with fresh strawberry puree delivers a quick, gluten-free, vegan sweet treat bursting with fruity flavor.

# Required Ingredients:

→ Mochi Base

01 - 120 g glutinous rice flour
02 - 180 ml fresh strawberry puree (approx. 6-8 ripe strawberries)
03 - 50 g granulated sugar

# Step-by-Step Instructions:

01 - Blend fresh strawberries until smooth. For a finer texture, strain the puree to remove seeds.
02 - In a microwave-safe bowl, mix glutinous rice flour, sugar, and strawberry puree until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
03 - Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, leaving a small vent for steam to escape. Microwave on high power for 2 minutes.
04 - Carefully remove the bowl, stir the mixture thoroughly, then microwave for an additional 1 to 2 minutes until the dough becomes translucent and sticky.
05 - Dust a clean surface generously with cornstarch or potato starch. Transfer the mochi dough onto the surface and allow it to cool slightly before shaping.
06 - Roll the dough into balls or cut into desired shapes. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.

# Handy Cooking Tips:

01 - Use fresh ripe strawberries for the best flavor and strain the puree to ensure a smooth texture. Adjust microwave times as needed for your appliance to avoid overcooking.
