Recipe
Ingredients
- Mochi(Kirimochi)
- Condensed milk
- Peanut powder(or preferred powder)
Instructions
- [Authentic Recipe]
- [Mochi (Mashu)] Cut Taiwanese mochi (similar to Japanese Kirimochi but softer and stretchier) into rectangular blocks ~
- 5cm thick, and skewer on a long bamboo stick.
- Place on a charcoal (or far-infrared roaster) net, searing slowly while twirling to avoid burning.
- Bake until the heat puffs the mochi surface like a balloon, getting a light golden char, making it 'crispy outside, gooey inside'.
- [Coating] Brush (or squeeze) an excessive amount of 'condensed milk' heavily over the freshly grilled hot mochi.
- Furthermore, generously coat with customer-selected flavor powders like 'Peanut powder (Hua Sheng Fen)' mixed with sugar, 'Black sesame powder', 'Kinako', or 'Chocolate sauce'.
