Ingredients:

  • 200gr of glutinous rice (sweet rice) powder
  • (Optional) 1 tbsp of corn flour
  • 350ml of water
  • 1 tbsp of neutral oil - some people use shallot oil for fragrance
  • 200gr of peanuts - sometimes I use walnuts, but the original recipe is peanuts
  • A few pinches of salt
  • A few tsp of white sugar (to taste)

Steps - for peanuts & sugar:

  1. Roast peanuts in a dry pan
  2. Rough chop in a food processor
  3. Add a pinch of salt, and a few teaspoons of sugar to taste. Mix well.

Steps - for mochi:

  1. In a bowl, add glutinous rice powder, water, a pinch of salt. Mix well to form batter.
  2. On a non-stick pan, add oil, then fry the batter using very low heat. Stir constantly.
  3. Cook for 4-5 minutes until it forms mochi texture, and the batter fully cooked (does not taste flour-y).

Steps - to serve:

  1. Add peanuts mixture to the pan
  2. Shape mochi to taste (usually similar to marbles). Coat with the peanuts mixture.
