Mango Green Tea Mochi

Felt like doing some fun cooking tonite. Since I had some green tea filling left from my snowy mooncakes I decided to experiment with these green tea filled mango mochi. Turned out quite well and a bit like the Japanese kusamochi (草餅). Any volunteers to be my guinea pig for these mango green tea mochi? :)

Ingredients (makes 12)


140gm glutinous rice flour
15gm rice flour
10gm 澄麵
200 gm coconut milk
150 gm water
60 gm sugar
1 tsp mango flavouring
1/4 cup 熟粉 (i.e. fried glutinous rice flour. to make this, heat the glutinous rice flour in a wok over low heat without any oil and until flour turns slightly brown but not burnt)
180gm green tea paste (I used the ones for snowy moon cakes) 


Method


1. Sift together glutinous rice flour, flour and 澄麵
2. In a separate pot, boil water and add sugar until dissolved. Add coconut milk to mixture and boil.  When boiling, pour liquid into the dry ingredients. Add the mango flavouring. Mix until all ingredients are mixed well together. Pour into a slightly greased dish and steam for 20 mins. Let dough cool.
3. Divide the green tea paste into 12 portions and roll into a ball then flatten.
4. Divide the dough into 12 portions. 
5. For each portion, flatten the dough and place the green tea paste in the middle and wrap each mochi (similar to making dumplings) to form a ball. Roll each mochi in the 熟粉.
