Mochi-Stuffed Jujubes (Soft Hearts) Recipe


Originating in Shanghai, these mochi-stuffed jujubes are also called โ€œsoft heartsโ€ in Mandarin, named after the soft mochi center at the heart of the jujube (also known as Chinese red dates). The stuffed jujubes are poached in a simple syrup infused with dried osmanthus flowers, which have a floral, honey-like aroma and are often used in teas and desserts. The resulting cute little treats have a subtle sweetness and a satisfyingly chewy texture. Theyโ€™re a simple dessert to make for a festive occasion, and have only four ingredients. Jujubes and dried osmanthus flowers can be found at Asian grocery stores, in local Chinatowns, and online. โ€”Jessie YuChen
