Steps

Read instructions and get ready to cook

1
Prepare strawberries

Wash and hull strawberries. Pat dry with paper towels.

2
Mix mochi ingredients

In a microwave-safe bowl, mix glutinous rice flour, sugar, and water until smooth.

3
Cook mochi

Microwave the mixture for 1 minute. Stir, then microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the mochi is translucent and sticky (about 3 minutes total).

4
Prepare work surface

Dust a work surface generously with cornstarch.

5
Cool mochi

Transfer the hot mochi to the cornstarch-dusted surface. Let it cool slightly until it can be handled.

6
Divide mochi

Divide the mochi into 8 equal portions.

7
Prepare filling

For each daifuku, flatten a portion of mochi, place a small scoop of red bean paste in the center, and top with a strawberry.

8
Wrap daifuku

Carefully wrap the mochi around the filling, sealing it completely. Dust with additional cornstarch to prevent sticking.

9
Shape

Gently shape each daifuku into a smooth, round form.

10
Serve

Arrange on a plate and serve immediately, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
