Trivia
The sweet-salty balance is the mark of a Dim Sum master. Frying temp must be low, otherwise the mochi will violently explode in the oil.
Eating tips & etiquette
Pick up with chopsticks while hot. The crisp exterior gives way to stretchy, sweet mochi and savory meat filling blending in your mouth.
