Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Watermelon Mochi
- Start by placing fresh watermelon cubes into a blender. Blend until smooth, then strain the mixture through a fine sieve to extract ¾ cup of juice.
- In a large mixing bowl, thoroughly whisk together glutinous rice flour, tapioca starch, and maple sugar until well combined.
- Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Carefully pour in the ¾ cup of watermelon juice along with 1 tablespoon of avocado oil. Mix until smooth.
- Preheat a non-stick pan over low-medium heat. Pour the mochi mixture into the pan, stirring constantly for about 3–4 minutes until it thickens.
- Transfer the mochi dough to a sheet of parchment paper and shape it into a square approximately 15 x 15 cm. Refrigerate for 1–2 hours.
- Dust a clean surface with glutinous rice flour. Using an oiled knife, slice the chilled Watermelon Mochi into bite-sized cubes.
