Ingredients
- 1 large Sweet potato (orange-fleshed)
- 1.5 cups Glutinous rice flour
- 0.25 cup Sugar
- 0.75 cup Coconut milk
- 0.25 cup Potato starch or cornstarch (for dusting)
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
Directions
Step 1
Peel the sweet potato, cut it into small chunks, and steam or boil until very tender, about 10–15 minutes.
Step 2
Mash the cooked sweet potato until smooth with no lumps. Let it cool slightly.
Step 3
In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed sweet potato, glutinous rice flour, sugar, and coconut milk. Mix until a soft, pliable dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, add an extra tablespoon of glutinous rice flour at a time until manageable.
Step 4
Divide the dough into 12 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball.
Step 5
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and grease it with the vegetable oil.
Step 6
Flatten each dough ball slightly into a disc and place them onto the skillet. Cook for 2–3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Step 7
Remove the cooked mochi from the skillet and let cool slightly. Dust with potato starch or cornstarch to prevent sticking.
Step 8
Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftover mochi in an airtight container at room temperature for 1–2 days or in the fridge for up to 5 days. Reheat in a microwave for 10–15 seconds to restore softness before serving.
