Ingredients
8 servings- Strawberries8 (or 12)
- Red bean paste (smooth or chunky)240g (360g)
- Shiratama powder (glutinous rice flour)100g (150g)
- Sugar50g (70g)
- Water120cc (180cc)
- ★Potato starch2 tbsp
Directions
20 min- 1
Wash the strawberries, pat dry, and remove the stems.
- 2
Divide the red bean paste into 30g portions (one per daifuku).
- 3
Place red bean paste on a piece of plastic wrap, top with a strawberry, and wrap it up gently to form a smooth, round ball.
- 4
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 100g (150g) shiratama powder, 120cc (180cc) water, and 50g (70g) sugar. Mix well.
- 5
Cover the bowl and microwave at 600W for 2 minutes (2 minutes 30 seconds for 12 pieces). Remove and stir thoroughly.
- 6
Cover again and microwave for another 1 minute 30 seconds (2 minutes for 12 pieces). Stir well.
- 7
Once the shiratama becomes semi-transparent and smooth, transfer it to a surface dusted with potato starch.
- 8
While still warm, divide the shiratama into 8 portions (12 for larger batch), coating generously with potato starch as you work.
- 9
Gently stretch each portion of shiratama into a thin, round disc with a thicker center, place the red bean-wrapped strawberry on top, and seal by folding the edges and shaping into a smooth ball.
- 10
Dust your hands with potato starch and gently roll each daifuku to finish.
- 11
For 12 pieces, extend microwave heating by 30 seconds at a time.
- 12
Alternatively, wrap only the red bean paste and shape into a ball, then cut in half with scissors and top with a strawberry for a cute presentation.
- 13
If using chunky red bean paste, gently crush it with a masher for a smoother finish. Smaller strawberries are easier to shape. Adjust microwave time based on your wattage until the shiratama is completely semi-transparent.
Tips
If using chunky red bean paste, gently crush it with a masher for a smoother finish. Smaller strawberries are easier to shape and are recommended. Adjust the microwave heating time based on your appliance's wattage until the shiratama becomes completely semi-transparent.
