🛒 Ingredients

✓ 3/4 cup glutinous rice flour (mochiko)
✓ 1/4 cup tapioca starch
✓ 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
✓ 2 tbsp Greek yogurt (0%)
✓ 2 tbsp caster sugar
✓ Pinch of sea salt
✓ 2 tbsp kinako (roasted soybean powder) for dusting
✓ 60g black tahini (unsweetened)
✓ 40g silken tofu, pressed lightly
✓ 15g coconut oil (refined)
✓ 1 tbsp honey or agave nectar
✓ 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
✓ Pinch of Himalayan pink salt

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Prepare the Filling: In a small bowl, whisk together black tahini, pressed silken tofu, coconut oil, honey, vanilla, and salt until smooth and glossy. Divide into 2 equal portions and refrigerate for 15 minutes until firm enough to mold.

2. Shape the Filling: Using damp hands, gently roll each filling portion into a 1.5-inch ball. Place on parchment and freeze for 10 minutes to prevent breaking during mochi wrapping.

3. Dry Mix the Mochi: In a microwave-safe bowl, sift together glutinous rice flour, tapioca starch, caster sugar, and sea salt to remove lumps.

4. Wet the Mixture: Create a well in the center. Whisk almond milk and Greek yogurt together, then pour into the well. Stir gently with chopsticks until a shaggy dough forms—do not overwork.

5. Microwave the Dough: Microwave uncovered on 50% power for 60 seconds, stir thoroughly, then microwave another 40 seconds at 50% power until the dough is translucent and sticky. Let cool for 2 minutes.

6. Dust and Divide: Generously dust a cutting board with kinako powder. Turn out the warm dough and divide into 2 equal portions.

7. Wrap the Mochi: Working quickly while warm, flatten one dough portion into a 4-inch circle. Place a chilled filling ball in the center, fold edges up and around, pinching gently to seal. Dust all sides with kinako and place on parchment.

8. Serve Immediately: Repeat with second portion. Serve warm within 5 minutes for optimal lava-like ooze. The contrast of warm mochi and cool filling is essential.
