 Recipe: Soft & Chewy Halal Red Bean Mochi

 | Time: 30 mins | Makes: 6–8 pieces

Ingredients:

1 cup glutinous rice flour 

1/4 cup sugar 

3/4 cup water

1/2 cup red bean paste (store-bought or homemade) 

1/4 cup cornstarch or potato starch (for dusting) 

A pinch of salt

Instructions:

1. Make the mochi dough:

In a microwave-safe bowl, mix glutinous rice flour, sugar, salt, and water until smooth.

2. Cook:

Microwave for 1 minute. Stir. Microwave again for 1 more minute, then stir. Finally, cook 30–60 seconds more until dough is thick and translucent.

(Or steam for 15–20 mins if you don’t use a microwave.)

3. Cool & shape:

Let the dough cool slightly. Dust hands and surface with cornstarch. Divide into small balls.

4. Fill:

Flatten a ball, place 1 tsp red bean paste in center, and pinch to seal. Roll gently into smooth mochi.

5. Serve or chill:

Best eaten fresh or stored in fridge with light wrap.

Why it works:

Gluten-free, halal, soft, and satisfying

Customizable — fill with chocolate, lotus paste, or cream

Perfect for gifting or weekend treats

Soft on the outside, sweet in the center — mochi reminds us of how gentleness holds strength. It’s a simple dessert, but with every chewy bite comes peace, calm, and a quiet kind of joy. May it bring light to your heart and your table, inshaAllah.

This mochi is a little gift of sweetness — soft, halal, and made with love. Whether you share it with others or enjoy it with tea alone, may it be a moment of ease, barakah, and gratitude.
