Ingredients
- • glutinous rice flour: 1 cup
- • water: 3/4 cup
- • black sesame seeds: 1/4 cup, toasted
- • fresh mango: 1 cup, finely diced
- • maple syrup: 2 tablespoons
- • coconut milk: 1/2 cup
- • tapioca starch: 1 tablespoon
- • sea salt: 1/4 teaspoon
- • coconut oil: 1 tablespoon, melted
Instructions
- 1 Prepare the filling by mixing the finely diced mango with 1 tablespoon of maple syrup and setting it aside to marinate for 10 minutes.
- 2 In a medium bowl, combine the glutinous rice flour, water, coconut milk, remaining maple syrup, and sea salt. Stir until smooth and well combined.
- 3 Toast the black sesame seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 3 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent burning. Grind the toasted seeds into a fine powder using a mortar and pestle, then add to the flour mixture.
- 4 Grease a steaming tray with coconut oil and pour the mochi mixture into the tray. Steam over medium heat for 10 minutes or until the mixture becomes translucent.
- 5 Allow the steamed mochi to cool slightly, then dust your hands with tapioca starch and divide the dough into small, equal portions. Flatten each portion and place a spoonful of the mango filling in the center, then carefully seal the edges to form a ball.
- 6 Roll the completed mochi balls in additional toasted sesame seeds for extra flavor and texture.
Serving Suggestions
- • These Exotic Black Sesame & Mango Mochi Bites can be enjoyed on their own or paired with a refreshing ginger tea, which complements the tropical mango flavors beautifully. For an added touch of elegance, serve the mochi bites on a bed of shredded coconut or alongside a fruit salad featuring kiwi and papaya slices. These mochi bites make for a delightful dessert at a summer gathering or a sophisticated ending to an Asian-inspired meal.
Storage Tips
Store any leftover mochi bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To maintain their chewy texture, allow them to reach room temperature before serving. Avoid freezing the mochi bites, as this can alter their consistency and flavor.
