Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 400 g sweet potatoes peeled and chopped
  • 100 g glutinous rice flour
  • 20 g sugar
  • 120 ml milk
  • Toasted sesame seeds for topping

Method
 

  1. Steam or boil the sweet potatoes until soft, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and mash until smooth.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed sweet potatoes with glutinous rice flour, sugar, and milk. Knead until a smooth, slightly sticky dough forms.
  3. Divide the dough into small portions and shape them into round discs or balls.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
