Peanut Butter Mochis | Menguy’s

Prepare the Filling

Mix the peanut butter with the crushed peanut pieces. Spoon the mixture into an ice cube tray and freeze for 1 hour.

Prepare the Mochi Dough

• In a microwave-safe bowl, mix the glutinous rice flour and sugar. Gradually add the water while stirring.

• Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and microwave for 2 minutes at 600W.

• Stir the mixture with a wet spatula, then microwave for an additional minute.

• Add the oil and mix thoroughly until you get a smooth, elastic dough.

Shape the Mochis

• Dust your work surface with cornstarch to prevent the dough from sticking.

• Roll out the cooled, warm dough and cut it into 6 equal portions.

• Place a frozen peanut butter ball in the center of each portion, gather the edges, and pinch tightly to seal.

• Roll each mochi in the peanut powder to coat generously.
