Ingredients
  

For the Mochi Dough
  • 300 g Peeled bananas A ripe banana adds natural sweetness and moisture, making your mochi soft and delicious.
  • 150 g Glutinous rice flour Essential for that chewy texture; make sure it’s glutinous for the best results.
  • 50 g Rice flour Contributes to the structure of the mochi, ensuring it holds its shape when cooked.
  • 100 g Sugar Sweetens the dough; you can adjust this based on your preference!
  • 100 g Water Helps blend the ingredients to create a smooth batter.
  • 1 Tbsp Oil Aids in greasing the pan and keeps the dough from sticking during the process.
For Dusting
  • 100 g Toasted glutinous rice flour Dusting with this flour prevents the mochi from sticking together and adds a delightful crunch!

Equipment

  • blender
  • Steamer
  • 8 x 10 inch pan
  • Rubber spatula
  • Rolling Pin
  • Bench scraper
  • Airtight Container

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Toast 100 g of glutinous rice flour in a dry pan over medium-low heat for about 5 minutes, until it's lightly browned. Allow it to cool before setting it aside for dusting later.
  2. Bring water in a steamer to a rolling boil, preparing it for the steaming process that will turn your batter into a delightful mochi.
  3. Blend together the peeled bananas, sugar, water, oil, 150 g of glutinous rice flour, and 50 g of rice flour in a blender until smooth. If you don’t have a blender, simply mash the bananas and mix everything manually, straining if necessary.
  4. Pour the smooth batter into a lightly oiled 8 x 10 inch pan or shallow plate. Cover it tightly with foil or a cloth-wrapped lid to prevent condensation from ruining your mochi.
  5. Steam the batter over medium-high heat for about 20 minutes. Check if it’s done by testing with a toothpick; it should come out with sticky but not raw dough clinging to it.
  6. Knead the cooked mochi dough using a lightly oiled rubber spatula, folding and stretching until it reaches an elastic texture. Expect it to be quite sticky.
  7. Dust a clean surface liberally with the toasted glutinous rice flour. Transfer the mochi dough onto it and dust the top with a bit more flour to prevent sticking.
  8. Roll the dough into a rectangle, aiming for about 1/8-inch thick, using a rolling pin. Don’t be afraid to dust with more flour if it becomes too sticky!
  9. Cut the rolled-out rectangle in half. Roll each half like a Swiss roll, trimming both ends with a bench scraper or knife for a neat finish.
  10. Slice each roll into 3-inch pieces. Dust with a little more toasted flour as needed to keep them from sticking together, then serve and enjoy!
