Ingredients

• 200 grams Glutinous rice flour
• 250 milliliters Water
• 1 tablespoon Stevia or monk fruit sweetener
• 200 grams Red bean paste (sugar-free)
• 50 grams Cornstarch

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, mix the glutinous rice flour and stevia (or monk fruit sweetener) together.

Step 2

Gradually add the water into the flour mixture, stirring continuously until a smooth batter forms.

Step 3

Pour the batter into a microwave-safe bowl and cover it with microwave-safe plastic wrap or a loosely fitted lid.

Step 4

Microwave the batter on high for 2 minutes. Remove and stir the mixture well.

Step 5

After stirring, microwave for another 1-2 minutes until the batter becomes transparent and elastic, indicating the mochi dough is cooked through.

Step 6

Dust a clean work surface with cornstarch to prevent sticking. Transfer the cooked mochi dough onto the surface and cover your hands generously with cornstarch as well.

Step 7

Allow the mochi to cool slightly, then divide it into 8 equal portions.

Step 8

Flatten each portion of mochi with your hands and place a small ball (about 1 tablespoon) of red bean paste in the center of each flatten mochi.

Step 9

Carefully gather the edges of the mochi dough around the red bean paste and pinch to seal, forming a smooth ball.

Step 10

Roll the mochi ball lightly in cornstarch to ensure it doesn't stick. Repeat with the remaining portions.

Step 11

Once all are shaped, the mochi can be enjoyed immediately or stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
