I finally made the matcha version! Have been trying to refine my recipe earlier on. The wrapping of the mochi skin remains a little difficult for me but still manageable.
Now, how to make strawberry matcha daifuku sweets? Hope you will like my recipe below with step by step pictorial guide. Sorry for the lighting, took it late at night so it was a little dim.
Strawberry Matcha Daifuku Recipe
Here is how you can make your own homemade strawberry daifuku sweets! :)*If you prefer anko filling instead of matcha bean paste (read bean paste), simply replace it with 200g of anko paste. (about 25g per daifuku)
*Daifuku mochi sweet is best eaten on the same day. Please store it in a cool, dry place. Dust the bottom of your container with flour before packing your daifuku sweets.
Ingredients
150g Shiratamako *Japanese glutinous rice flour
180ml water
70g sugar
2 tsp matcha powder (please use good quality green tea powder for better taste)
200g white sweet bean paste
8 whole strawberries (small size)
2 tsp of hot water (to be used to dissolve the matcha powder)
Potato starch
Method
1) In a bowl, dissolve the matcha powder with 2 tsp of hot water. Add the white bean paste the mix well until you get an even matcha bean paste.
2) Divide the matcha bean paste into 8 equal parts. You can use a weighing scale to assist in the measurements.
3) Flatten the bean paste into a round disc and wrap a strawberry fruit inside. Repeat for the remaining 7. Set aside
4) Add water to your shiratamako flour (Japanese glutinous rice flour)
5) Mix well with a wooden spatula. Add in the sugar and mix well.
6) Cook in the microwave at 500W for 2 mins, remove and mix well. Repeat and cook for another 2mins at 500W. Remove and mix well. Your mixture now will turn gooey and look translucent.
7) Spread a generous amount of potato starch on your worktop and transfer the cooked mochi dough. (Note, the mochi dough is extremely sticky, so be sure to use generous amount to potato starch).
8) Divide 1/8 of the mixture and spread it to a round disc. (dab on potato starch to reduce stickiness as you work).
9) Wrap the strawberry match bean paste filling. (Tip of the strawberry goes in first). Pinch the mochi dough at the bottom to seal it up.
10) Repeat for the remaining 7 pieces. Now you are done :) Hope you enjoy this recipe!
