1. Green Tea Mochi

Ingredients:

- 1100g of sugar

- 1 liter of water

- 600g of toasted glutinous rice flour

- 3 tablespoons of cooking oil

- 5 tablespoons of matcha powder

- Dusting powder

- 300g of peeled split mung beans

- 2 tablespoons of cooking oil

Instructions:

Step 1: Rinse mung beans and soak until soft. Then steam them.

Step 2: After steaming, blend the mung beans with a bit of water, 100g of sugar, 2 tablespoons of matcha powder, and cooking oil. Cook the mixture until it thickens, let it cool, and then shape into even balls.

Step 3: Combine water and the remaining sugar in a pot and bring to a boil over low heat. Turn off the stove once it boils. When the sugar water cools down slightly, add matcha powder and stir until dissolved.

Step 4: Sift the flour to ensure it's smooth, then gradually add the sugar water mixture to the flour, stirring well. Knead by hand until the dough is heavy, smooth, and non-sticky.

Step 5: Divide the dough into small portions, roll each out into a thin circle, place a pre-formed round filling in the center, and wrap it securely.

Roll the mochi in dusting flour, then press into molds to shape. Your delicious mochi is now ready.
