Peanut-coated mochi bites

Let’s make it.

1. Mix flour, water, 40 g sugar and oil until smooth. Pour into a lightly oiled heatproof shallow bowl.
2. Steam over simmering water for about 20 minutes until the dough is fully set, translucent and no raw flour remains.
3. Mix ground peanuts with coating sugar. Let dough cool until safe to handle, then use oiled scissors to cut 18 small pieces.
4. Roll in peanut coating and serve in small bites. Avoid serving large chewy pieces to children or people with swallowing difficulties.
