Directions
Strawberry Sauce:
Prepare Strawberries: Wash and chop the strawberries into small cubes.
Cook Sauce: In a pot, combine strawberry cubes, sugar, and lemon juice. Stir over medium heat until thickened. Transfer to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and cool in the fridge.
Mochi:
Mix Batter: In a bowl, combine glutinous rice flour, cornstarch, sugar, milk, and a few drops of red food coloring until smooth.
Cook Mochi: Pour the batter into a non-stick pan. Add unsalted butter. Stir over medium heat until a thick, stretchy dough forms and it pulls away from the pan.
