How to cook

Prepare whipping cream

Whisk chilled whipping cream and add sugar once it hardens.
Keep whisking until it reaches a soft peak (3 times of the initial volume).
Add chopped strawberries, food colouring, and strawberry essence to whipped cream. Keep it chill.

Prepare mochi skin

In a microwaveable bowl, mix glutinous rice flour with sugar.
Add water, food colouring and strawberry essence. Mix well.
Cover bowl loosely with plastic wrap and microwave on high heat for 1 minute. Take it out and mix well. Repeat this 3 times till the dough is cooked and translucent.
Allow the dough to cool down before sprinkling potato starch to prevent sticking when rolling.

Assemble & serve

Cut circles out of the flattened dough, and wrap strawberry cream filling in each circle.
Enjoy mochi at room temperature within a day as the skin hardens when refrigerated.
