Fried Mochi
Ingredients
- One 16oz. box of Mochiko (Sweet Rice Flour) Looks like this.
- 1-1/2 cups granulated sugar
- Water
- (Optional) 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Oil (for frying)
- Kinako (Soy bean flour) Looks like this.
- Sugar to taste
Ingredients
- Set aside a small amount of mochiko (a small handful).
- In a large bowl, mix the remaining mochiko and granulated sugar (and salt) until well blended. Stir in just enough water (and vanilla) so that it forms a dough.
- Roll the dough into small balls (about the size of a golf ball), using the mochiko (from #1) to keep them from sticking.
- Heat a few tablespoons of oil in a frying pan.
- When you add the mochi balls to the oil, smash them down flat. Fry on both sides until slightly crispy (they won't brown). Drain.
- Mix kinako and sugar, sprinkle (A LOT!) over the fried mochi. Serve hot.
Makes a whole lotta bunch.
You can also nix the kinako mixture and go with a dipping sauce of shoyu (soy sauce) and sugar... But seriously, the kinako is WAY better.
