Step-by-Step Instructions for Whole Peach Mochi
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine sweet rice flour and sugar, then gradually add room temperature water, stirring until smooth.
  2. Pour the batter into a steamer lined with parchment paper, spreading it evenly and cooking over medium heat for 20-25 minutes.
  3. Once steamed, carefully remove the dough and let it cool for about 10-15 minutes.
  4. Dust your hands with cornstarch, take a piece of the cooled dough, flatten it into a disk, and place a slice of ripe peach in the center.
  5. Generously roll each shaped mochi in cornstarch to keep them from sticking together.
  6. Place the finished Whole Peach Mochi in an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
