Steps for Making Strawberry Daifuku

5 strawberries, 80g glutinous rice flour, 20g corn starch, 110g milk, 20g granulated sugar, 10g butter.

Soften the butter in advance, mix granulated sugar, butter, glutinous rice flour, starch, and milk in a bowl to form a paste. Cover with plastic wrap and steam for 15 minutes.

When it is not too hot to handle, put on food handling gloves and knead into a dough.

Put a spoonful of red bean paste on plastic wrap, then place a whole strawberry (washed and stem removed) on top. Wrap the plastic wrap around the strawberry and press the red bean paste onto the surface of the strawberry.

Take a small amount of the steamed dough, knead and flatten it (the dough is very soft, if it sticks, sprinkle some fried glutinous rice flour on the surface), and put the strawberry red bean paste in the middle.

Wrap the dough around the filling like making a bun (you don’t need as many pleats as a bun, try to make the seal as thin as possible). After wrapping, put it in a coconut shredder and evenly coat it with coconut shreds.

Place the sealed side down on a plate, cut one open, and you will have a cute red and white Strawberry Daifuku.
