Durian Mochi

DURIAN mochi's RECIPE

detailed information

Durian mochi is a dessert that blends the intense flavor of durian fruit with the chewy texture of mochi. It consists of a soft mochi outer layer filled with durian-flavored filling made from fresh durian pulp or paste. The combination of durian's distinct taste and the sweet, elastic mochi creates a unique treat enjoyed in Southeast Asian countries like Malaysia, Singapore, and Thailand. It is commonly served chilled or at room temperature as a delightful snack or dessert.

Ingredients

Instructions

1. In a microwave-safe bowl, mix the glutinous rice flour, sugar, and water until well combined..
2. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and microwave it on high for 1 minute. Remove from the microwave, stir well, and then microwave for another 30 seconds.
3. Carefully remove the bowl from the microwave (it will be hot) and stir the mixture vigorously until it forms a smooth and sticky dough. Allow it to cool slightly.
4. Dust a clean surface or tray with cornstarch or potato starch to prevent sticking. Take a small portion of the mochi dough and flatten it with your hands.
5. Place a teaspoonful of fresh durian pulp or durian paste in the center of the flattened mochi dough. Fold the edges of the dough over the filling and pinch them together to seal it.
6. Roll the filled mochi into a smooth ball and coat it lightly with additional cornstarch or potato starch to prevent sticking. Repeat the process with the remaining dough and durian filling.
And that's it! Your homemade durian mochi is ready to be enjoyed. Remember to store the mochi in an airtight container in the refrigerator if you're not serving them immediately, as they are best when chilled.
