Strawberry Daifuku Japanese Dessert With Sakura-Mochi Skin
- 200 ml Cake flour
- 100 ml Shiratamako
- 2 tbsp Sugar
- 250 ml Water
- 1 dash Red food coloring
- 400 grams Tsubu-an (sweet chunky azuki bean paste)
- 20 Strawberries
- In a container, combine cake flour, shiratamako and sugar together.
- Add 200 ml of water into the container and mix until the lumps disappear.
- Add the remaining water and mix until smooth.
- Strain through a fine colander once.
- This step makes the batter smooth and beautiful.
- Dissolve the red food coloring in a small amount of water.
- Pour it into the batter to make your favorite tone of pink.
- Even if you feel the color may be just a little too light, it will strengthen after cooking, so will be around right.
- Preheat an electric griddle to 200C.
- Cook the batter to make 12 cm round skins.
- Cook it until the surface is 90% dry.
- Turn it over right away and cook it for 10 more seconds.
- Move it onto a plate and wrap it with plastic wrap or cloth.
- Leave it until cool.
- Place anko (sweet red bean) and strawberry onto the skin, and wrap the skin around them.
- Be careful not to tear it.
- Make creases like in the photo to finish forming.
