Mango Mochi

Ingredients:

1 cup of glutinous rice flour

180 ml mango juice

¼ cup of castor sugar

½ mango – cut into tiny cubes

grated coconut for dusting/coating

Preparation:

1. In a porcelain bowl, combine flour, juice and sugar. Stir to mix well.

2. Cover with a cling wrap and microwave for 2 mins. Remove and stir well. Return to microwave for another 30 seconds. Stir-well and check for doneness. If not put it back for another 30 seconds, be careful not to burn it. In most cases, the first 30 seconds after the initial 2 mins should be enough.
