Strawberry Matcha Daifuku
(yields 9 balls)
Recipe adapted from : Copycake Kitchen 最爱的。。

Ingredients:
9 strawberries
315g (9 x 35g) sweet red bean paste, rolled into balls
200g gutinous rice flour
4tsp matcha powder
50g caster sugar
300ml water
Some corn starch
Some ground peanut / kinako (roasted soybean flour)

Method:
1. Use a red bean ball each to wrap the strawberries.
2. Arrange the wrapped strawberries in a container lined with non-stick baking paper and refrigerate.
3. Sprinkle a layer of corn starch on a baking tray. Make sure that it completely covers the base of the baking tray.
4. In a steam-able bowl, mix the glutinous flour, sugar and matcha powder evenly. Slowly add in water and mix with a spatula until smooth. Cover the bowl containing the mixture with cling wrap and put it into a steamer. Steam for 12 - 15 minutes. About halfway through the steaming(about the 6th - 8th minute), stir it with a wet rubber spatula before covering it again and finish the steaming. It will turn into a translucent dough. (for microwave method, refer here)
5. With a spatula, remove the mochi from the bowl and transfer it to the baking tray. Use the spatula to fold the corn starch into the mochi. Then divide it into 9 equal portions.
6. Take out the red bean balls from the fridge. Dust your hands with some corn starch before taking one portion of mochi, flattening it into a disc and then wrapping a red bean ball with it. Repeat for the rest of the mochis.
7. Sprinkle the daifuku with some ground peanut / kinako before serving.

Q软的外皮，有股淡淡的抹茶香气，
