#carrot Carrot Mochi is a delicious, soft cake that combines the natural sweetness of carrots with a chewy, fragrant rice flour dough. It’s perfect for breakfast or as a snack. Here’s how to make it: Ingredients:
2 medium-sized carrots 150g glutinous rice flour 50g sugar 1/2 tsp vanilla extract 1/4 tsp salt 1 tbsp cooking oil Water (about 50-60ml, depending on the dough consistency) Fresh grated coconut (optional, for topping)
Instructions:
Prepare the Carrots: Peel, wash, and finely grate or blend the carrots. Cook the carrots in a non-stick pan on low heat until soft, adding sugar and stirring occasionally (about 5-7 minutes).
Mix the Dough: In a bowl, combine the glutinous rice flour, sugar, salt, vanilla extract, and cooking oil. Gradually add water to the mixture, stirring until the dough becomes smooth and not sticky.
Shape the Mochi: Take a small amount of dough, roll it into a ball, then flatten it. Place a spoonful of the cooked carrot filling in the center. Wrap the dough around the filling and shape it into a round ball or any shape you prefer.
Steam the Mochi: Place the shaped mochi in a steamer over boiling water. Steam for about 20-25 minutes until the mochi becomes soft and translucent.
Serve: Once steamed, sprinkle some fresh grated coconut on top and enjoy while it’s still warm.
This dish has a natural sweetness from the carrots, a soft, chewy texture, and is absolutely delicious. Would you like to try any variations for this recipe? 😊
