6 g matcha
160 g milk
50 g glutinous flour
10 g corn starch
15 g sugar
2 g matcha
100 g milk
10 g unsalted butter
100 g cream cheese

5 g matcha

Steps

Matcha cream cheese
Start by preparing the matcha cream cheese fillings. Mix all needed ingredients together until smooth
Roll into 9 small balls and leave in the freezer to solidify
Matcha mochi
Now prepare matcha mochi
Add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients
Mix until smooth and transfer into a container for steaming
Cover with cling film and poke some holes. Let steam in boiling water for about 10 minutes
Once done, add the butter while hot
Knead and stretch the dough while hot. Do this for about 5 minutes until the mochi is very stretchy
After that, separate the mochi into 9 small balls. Cover with a cling film to avoid drying, set aside
Matcha dough
Now prepare the matcha dough by mixing all ingredients together
A rough dough should form. Don’t worry about its rough surface for now. Let it rest aside for 5 minutes
After 5 minutes, transfer the dough onto a rolling mat
Roll it out into a long shape and cut it into 9 even smaller doughs. Cover with a cling film to avoid drying out
After that, gather all three components together and ready for construction
Construction
Firstly, cover both hands with a bit of flour, and gently stretch out a mochi ball to a thin sheet
Then grab a cream cheese ball onto the mochi and wrap it into a ball
On the other side, roll out a dough and flatten the edges
Put the mochi cream cheese ball onto the dough, and seal the edge as shown. Shape the bread dough (picture 4) to a sphere
Once done, put all the doughs into a steamer ready for proofing. Sieve some matcha onto the doughs to decorate
Let proof in a warm environment for at least 1 hour or until it 1.5x times in size
Once done proofing, let steam over boiling water for 15 minutes. After that, turn the heat off and let sit for another 3 minutes
After that, it’s done! Enjoy and eat while hot!
