konnichiwa it's Nani from just one cookbook back with another video for you
and today I'm going to show you two ways to make green tea mochi
the first one is green tea flavoured mochi
filled with white bean paste
the second one is green tea flavoured filling
wrapped inside a regular mochi
if you'd like to make just one type
I'd recommend green tea filling as it has prominent matcha flavor
now let's get started
in a small bowl, combine 100 g white bean paste (shiroan) with 2 g matcha (green tea powder)
using a small spatula or spoon, blend the paste and matcha until the mixture is homogeneous
cover the bowl and freeze the paste for 30 minutes (or refrigerate for 60 minutes) to firm up the texture
we'll start with the white bean paste first by dividing it into thirds
wet your hands with water
take ⅓ of the paste into your hands and roll into a ball, transfer to a plate
now we'll work on the matcha paste by dividing into thirds
wet your hands with water and take ⅓ of the paste into your hands
roll each third into a ball and refrigerate until ready to use
first, we make white mochi with matcha filling
In a bowl, combine 50 g Shiratamako and 25 g sugar and whisk well
add 90 g water and whisk well until there is no lump
cover the bowl with paper towel and microwave for 1 minute (my microwave is 1200W)
wet your silicone spatula with water
mix the mochi dough so that it will be cooked evenly
cover and microwave for an additional 30 seconds
spread the 1/2 cup potato starch or corn starch well on a baking sheet
transfer the mochi dough on top of the starch
sprinkle potato starch on top of the mochi dough and on your hands
use a dough scraper, divide the mochi dough into equal thirds
flatten the dough into a circle shape
place the matcha paste ball in the center of the dough
bring all four corners of the dough over the ball
pinch the seam line by pulling the mochi dough
if the dough is too sticky, tap the seam line with potato starch
twist the mochi a few times on your palm to reshape until even thickness
transfer the mochi to a plate
now, we make the green tea mochi with white bean filling
In a bowl, combine 50 g shiratamako and 25 g sugar and whisk well
add 2 g matcha into the mixture and whisk well
add 90 g water and whisk well until there is no lump
cover the bowl with paper towel and microwave for 1 minute (my microwave is 1200W)
wet your silicone spatula with water and mix the mochi dough so that it will be cooked evenly
cover and microwave for an additional 30 seconds
the cooked mochi dough will look opaque
spread the potato starch or cornstarch generously on a baking sheet and transfer the mochi dough on top of the starch
sprinkle more starch on top of the mochi dough and on your hands
use a dough scraper, divide the mochi dough into equal thirds
flatten the dough into a circle shape
place the white bean paste ball in the center of the dough
bring all four corners of the dough over the ball
pinch the seam line by pulling the mochi dough
flip the mochi so the seam line is on the bottom and wist the mochi a few times on your palm to reshape
serve mochi at room temperature, It goes well with green tea or hojicha
