Great recipe for Strawberry Yuu-Hime Mochi Dumplings. I read Yasushi Inoue's historical novel. "The Samurai Banner of Furin Kazan", and was really drawn to the character of warlord Shingen Takeda's concubine Yuu-hime (Princess Yuu), and was inspired to make these dumplings in her image. Put the strawberries in a spice grinder and process to a fine powder. Whisk the strawberry powder with the sugar, mochiko flour, and a pinch of salt in a microwave-safe bowl.

To begin with this particular recipe, we have to prepare a few ingredients. You can have strawberry yuu-hime mochi dumplings using 8 ingredients and 15 steps. Here is how you cook it.

The ingredients needed to make Strawberry Yuu-Hime Mochi Dumplings:
  1. Take 6 Strawberries
  2. Get 120 grams Sweet white bean paste (shiro-an)
  3. Take 1 tsp or (to taste) Matcha
  4. Make ready For the gyuuhi (rice dough):
  5. Take 50 grams Shiratamako
  6. Make ready 100 ml Water
  7. Prepare 80 grams Castor sugar, or superfine or baker's sugar
  8. Get 1 Cornstarch (for dusting)

Place the strawberry pointed-end down on the piece of mochi. Evenly wrap the strawberry in the mochi and seal the bottom. Pinch the ends closed to seal the strawberry and place back on the baking tray. Lightly brush the mochi with water and sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired.

Instructions to make Strawberry Yuu-Hime Mochi Dumplings:
  1. Wash the strawberries, take off the hulls and carefully pat them dry with paper towels.
  2. Add the matcha to the shiro-an. When it's well mixed, divide into 6 portions.
  3. Invert a strawberry and cover 2/3 with the white bean paste. If the bean paste is soft, use a paper towel as shown here.
  4. Form the part that will face forwards into a V. They should be cone-shaped.
  5. Spread plenty of cornstarch onto a large cutting board.
  6. Put shiratama flour into a heatproof container, and add water little by little. Add sugar and mix well.
  7. Cover loosely with plastic wrap, and microwave for 2 minutes (at 600w). Take it out and mix well.
  8. Microwave for another minute. When it puffs up, take it out and mix again. It's done when it turns shiny as shown in the photo.
  9. Take the dough out onto the cornstarch. If you can drop the dough on the board so that it's as flat as possible, the following steps will be easier.
  10. Dust the top of the dough with cornstarch. Spread the dough out by pressing with your fingers and lifting it until it's about 30cm x 20cm in size. It's hot to start with, but cools down quickly.
  11. When the dough has cooled completely, cut off the rough edges to straighten them and slice the dough into 6 pieces.
  12. Wrap a piece of dough around each paste-covered strawberry as if you were dressing it in a kimono.
  13. The ends stretch out a lot, so arrange them however you like.
  14. You can wrap it round and round to make a baby princess.
  15. I stretched out the end of the dough to the back, to look like a long train on a princess kimono. When it's shaped like this, it's easier to eat.

Pinch the ends closed to seal the strawberry and place back on the baking tray. Lightly brush the mochi with water and sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired. Berny: Peanut Butter Mochi are the best! The Mickey-shaped treat is tropical fruit flavored and the Minnie-shaped one is a peach raspberry delight! Another Park snack that the Tokyo Disney Resort takes very seriously and does oh-so-well is popcorn!
