Ingredients
Scale
1 cup glutinous rice flour (mochiko) – 120g
¾ cup mango purée – 180g (fresh or canned mango)
¼ cup sugar – 50g
¼ cup water – 60ml
1 tablespoon cornstarch or potato starch (for dusting)
½ cup diced fresh mango (peeled and chopped small)
½ cup mango jam or preserves
1 teaspoon lemon juice (for brightness)
1 teaspoon coconut milk (for a creamier flavor)
Instructions
Blend ripe mango until smooth. Strain if needed to remove fibers.
In a bowl, whisk glutinous rice flour, mango purée, sugar, and water until smooth. Add optional coconut milk or lemon juice if desired.
Steam for 20–25 minutes or microwave in 30-second bursts (2.5–3.5 minutes total) until sticky and translucent.
Transfer the cooked dough to a starch-dusted surface. Let cool 5–10 minutes and dust lightly with starch.
Cut dough into 8–10 pieces. Flatten each, add 1 tsp of mango filling, pinch closed, and roll into smooth balls. Dust lightly again to prevent sticking.
