Instructions
- Preparation: Cut the kiri mochi into quarters.
- Fry the Mochi: Generously pour oil into a frying pan and heat over medium heat. Carefully place the mochi pieces onto the pan and cook until they puff up. Flip them over and cook for a few minutes, ensuring a soft interior. Place them on a wire rack or paper towel to remove excess oil.
- Coat with Sugar: Transfer the freshly fried mochi to a sugar-filled bowl. Gently coat each piece with sugar.
Notes
- Mochi should be enjoyed with caution as a potential choking hazard, especially for the elderly and small children. Cut the mochi into small pieces and chew very well when eating.
- After frying, place the mochi on a wire rack or paper towels to remove extra oil. This helps keep the crispy texture and prevents the dish from getting too oily.
- Feel free to customize the recipe by adding various flavors to the sugar. Consider mixing in cacao powder, cinnamon powder, or soybean powder (kinako) for a delightful array of fried mochi flavors!
