Ingredients You’ll Need for Pan-Fried Fresh Milk Mochi (Soft, Chewy & Extra Stretchy)

150 g glutinous rice flour
20 g sugar
30 g cornstarch
30 g cooking oil
300 ml milk
Roasted soybean powder (as needed for coating)

Step-by-Step Instructions

Let’s make this cozy treat together! Follow these simple steps for perfect Pan-Fried Fresh Milk Mochi:

In a large bowl, combine the glutinous rice flour, sugar, and cornstarch.
Pour in the cooking oil and milk, then whisk until the mixture is completely smooth and free of lumps.
Transfer the batter to a non-stick pan, cooking over low heat. Stir constantly with a silicone spatula to prevent sticking.
As the mixture heats, keep stirring; it will gradually thicken and come together until a smooth, elastic dough forms and no longer sticks to the pan or spatula. Turn off the heat.
Carefully remove the dough from the pan and gently stretch it a few times—this will improve the elasticity.
Once the dough is cool enough to handle, roll it into a log and cut it into bite-sized pieces.
Toss the mochi pieces in roasted soybean powder until evenly coated. Serve immediately and watch your loved ones devour them!

Fruit-Infused: Mix in pureed strawberries or mango for a fruity twist—create a tropical delight!
Nutty Crunch: Fold in crushed nuts like almonds or walnuts for added texture and a nutty flavor boost.

Chef Emma’s Helpful Tips

Make-Ahead Advice: You can make the mochi dough ahead of time! Just store it in an airtight container in the fridge for a couple of days before shaping.
Use Different Flours: If glutinous rice flour isn’t available, you might try sweet rice flour; just keep in mind the texture may vary.
Slicing Tricks: To make slicing easier, lightly dust your knife with cornstarch or oil before cutting the mochi to prevent sticking.
Storage Suggestions: Store any leftover mochi in an airtight container in the fridge. They’ll keep for about 2-3 days, but trust me, they might not last that long!
