Ingredients
1 cup sweet rice flour (mochi flour)
1/4 cup sugar
1 cup water
Cornstarch or potato starch (for dusting)
1/2 cup peach jam (store-bought or homemade)
1/2 cup whipped cream (optional)
Fresh peach slices (for garnish, optional)
Mint leaves (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
- Make the mochi batter: In a microwave-safe bowl, mix sweet rice flour and sugar. Gradually add water while stirring until smooth and lump-free.
- Cook the mochi: Cover with plastic wrap (leave a small vent) and microwave on high for 1 minute. Stir, then repeat twice (total 3 minutes) until sticky, glossy, and translucent.
- Cool the mochi: Dust a clean surface with cornstarch or potato starch. Transfer mochi onto the surface and let cool for 5 minutes.
- Shape the mochi: Dust hands with starch and divide mochi into small portions (about golf-ball size). Flatten each into a 1/4-inch-thick round.
- Assemble the sandwiches: Place a spoonful of peach jam in the center of one mochi round. Add whipped cream or a peach slice if desired. Top with another mochi round and gently press edges to seal.
- Serve: Arrange on a serving plate and garnish with fresh peach slices and mint. Enjoy immediately or chill for a firmer texture.
Notes
Use different jams like strawberry, mango, or apricot for variety.
Add 1 tsp matcha powder to the mochi batter for a green tea version.
Sprinkle crushed nuts or coconut flakes between layers for extra texture.
Replace jam with chocolate ganache or Nutella for a decadent twist.
Serve slightly chilled for the best chewy texture and refreshing flavor.
