Ingredients
  

For the Mochi
  • 1 cup Mochi Flour Substitutable with glutinous rice flour for similar texture.
  • 1/2 cup Water
  • 4 pieces Jujubes Sweet, dense fruit; adds natural sweetness and texture.

Equipment

  • pan
  • spoon
  • spider or slotted spoon

Method
 

Prepare the Mochi
  1. In a bowl, combine 1 cup of mochi flour with 1/2 cup of water. Mix until a smooth, soft dough forms. Let it rest for about 10 minutes.
Shape the Mochi
  1. Lightly dust your hands with mochi flour and pinch off small pieces of the dough, shaping them into balls about the size of a golf ball.
Stuff with Jujubes
  1. Gently flatten each mochi ball and place a jujube in the center. Carefully fold the edges over the jujube until it’s fully enclosed.
Make the Syrup
  1. In a saucepan, combine 1 cup of water with 3/4 cup of sugar over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons of dried osmanthus flowers, stirring gently until the sugar dissolves completely.
Poach the Jujubes
  1. Carefully add the stuffed jujubes to the simmering syrup. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until they become tender and slightly translucent.
Cool and Serve
  1. Remove the jujubes from the syrup using a spider or slotted spoon. Allow them to cool for a few minutes before serving.
