Ingredients
Scale
- 400g sweet potatoes, peeled and chopped
- 100g glutinous rice flour
- 20g sugar
- 120ml milk
- Toasted sesame seeds, for topping
Instructions
- Steam or boil the sweet potatoes until soft, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and mash until smooth.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed sweet potatoes with glutinous rice flour, sugar, and milk. Knead until a smooth, slightly sticky dough forms.
- Divide the dough into small portions and shape them into round discs or balls.
- Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and lightly grease it with oil. Place the mochi bites in the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Remove from heat and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds. Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
- For a dairy-free version, substitute milk with coconut milk or almond milk.
- If the dough is too sticky, add a little more glutinous rice flour. If too dry, add a splash of milk.
- These mochi bites can be baked at 350°F (175°C) for 20 minutes if you prefer a non-fried version.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one day or refrigerate for up to three days. Reheat before serving.
- Pair with a drizzle of honey, maple syrup, or condensed milk for extra sweetness.
