How to make Vegan Ube Butter Mochi

Step 1

Mix glutinous rice flour, sugar, and water in a pot, making sure there are no lumps.

Step 2

Warm the mixture over low heat. When it starts to thicken, cook it for 5 minutes, stirring it vigorously, until you have a smooth and stretchy dough.

Step 3

Transfer the mochi dough onto a worktop dusted with corn starch. Then, dust the dough with some starch to make it less sticky.

Step 4

Pinch off a small handful of dough and shape it into a ball.

Flatten one ball into a thick 7cm (2.5 inches) disc. Then, brush off excess starch on both sides.

Step 6

Then, scoop a spoonful of cold ube butter, roll it into a ball, and place it in the centre of the disc.

Step 7

Pull the edges of the dough towards the centre and over the filling, pinching them together at the top.

Step 8

Then, hold the mochi in your hand and keep pinching the dough together while you twist the mochi to make a tight ball.

Step 9

Flip the mochi seam-side down and lightly press it into a dome shape. Enjoy!
