Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the Sweet Potato: Steam the purple sweet potato for about 30 minutes until fork-tender. Peel and mash until smooth, adding soy milk for texture.
  2. Make the Mochi Dough: In a bowl, whisk glutinous rice flour and sugar. Gradually add soy milk while stirring until smooth and thick.
  3. Microwave the Dough: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, poking holes. Microwave for 1 minute, stir, then microwave for another minute. If not solid, microwave for an additional 30 seconds.
  4. Steam the Dough (if no microwave): Place the covered bowl in a steamer basket and steam for about 30 minutes.
  5. Incorporate Vegan Butter: Once cool, add vegan butter and knead the dough until smooth and pliable.
  6. Roll the Mochi Dough: Dust the surface with desiccated coconut and roll the dough into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.
  7. Add the Filling: Spread the purple sweet potato filling evenly over the dough, leaving edges bare. Roll tightly.
  8. Slice the Roll: Use dental floss or thread to slice neatly into about 1 inch thick pieces.
  9. Serve and Enjoy: Enjoy immediately or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
