Directions
Prepare the sweet red beans and coconut milk ahead of time so they are well-chilled. Make the quick microwave mochi and cut into bite-sized pieces. Layer all components in serving glasses, alternating textures and colors for visual appeal. Serve right away for the best icy, creamy contrast. You can substitute other fresh fruits such as bananas or blueberries. For a nutty twist, sprinkle with toasted black sesame seeds or chopped roasted nuts (if not nut-free). For extra authenticity, use Korean-style canned sweetened red beans if available.
