Steps to make strawberries & cream mochi:

• Step 1. Melt two melona popsicles. Mix with the glutinous rice flour until the texture is smooth for the mochi mixture.
• Step 2. Cover the mochi mixture with a lid and microwave for 1 minute. Stir the mixture and put it back in the microwave for one more minute. Stir again and form mochi in a ball.
• Step 3. On a flat surface, sprinkle some potato starch and add the mochi on top of the starch. Sprinkle with a little more potato starch to prevent the mochi from sticking.
• Step 4. Flatten the mochi and cut into squares.

• Step 7. Add the cream in the mochi and fold the sides and pinch the mochi shut.
