Steps:
- Filling: Wash & soak beans (~12 hours), strip off skins. Place the beans in a pot with enough cold water, bring it to a boil in moderate heat. When it starts boiling, add 3/4 cup of cold water. Again, bring it to a boil, and again, add another 3/4 cup cold water. Let the beans cook in moderate heat for about 25 minutes, and discard any foam. Strain the beans twice with a colander lined with a cheese cloth. Add the brown rice syrup, sugar, and salt. Return the pot to moderate heat. Blend the beans with a hand blender to make a smooth paste; stir the paste constantly. Add wild blueberries. Dough: Mix the rice flour, sugar and water in a bowl. Transfer the paste to a cloth (30 mins) Transfer the hot mochi onto a surface dusted with potato starch, and let it cool. Cut the paste into very small pieces, about 1/4 cup each. Brush off the excess starch from each piece. Flatten each piece with your hands into a thin circle. Carefully use each circle to wrap a ball of bean paste and pinch it to close.

I first had this dessert at a 4th of July gathering. It was perfect just for the color which blended in to the color scheme of the day! Any type of mochi is always a favorite local dessert, but with blueberries added in!

Tips:

- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the mochi tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Let the mochi rest before baking: This will help the mochi to rise and become chewy.
- Bake the mochi until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This will ensure that the mochi is cooked through.
- Serve the mochi warm or at room temperature: Mochi is best served warm or at room temperature. It can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
