Preparation

1
Wrap each dried strawberry in 20 g of anko and set aside.
2
Mix rice flour, sugar and water in a heatproof bowl. Steam 15-20 minutes, stirring halfway, until shiny and translucent.
3
Carefully turn onto a starch-dusted surface and let cool enough to handle; the dough is very sticky.
4
Divide into six pieces, flatten and wrap around each strawberry. Seal, brush off excess starch and cool before eating.
