GREEN TEA MOCHI
A tasteful, and easy-to-make spin-off of the "Apricot Mochi" recipe posted by Seb on this site. The presentation of the mochi itself is not very appealing, but it can be dressed up by wrapping pieces in a leaf (as described in the last step), or you can maybe dust potato starch around it. The edges can also be cut since they will be a harder crust.

Tips:
- Choose ripe and soft apricots for the best flavor and texture.
- Make sure the glutinous rice flour is finely ground for a smooth mochi dough.
- Use a steamer to cook the mochi dough to prevent it from sticking to the pan.
- Let the mochi dough cool completely before filling it to prevent it from cracking.
- Be careful not to overfill the mochi dough, or it will be difficult to seal.
- If the mochi dough is too sticky, wet your hands with cold water before handling it.
- Store the mochi in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
