Introduction
This is an easy snack made by microwaving a whole sweet potato, mashing it in a plastic freezer bag, and mixing in the ingredients. The combination of melted sliced cheese inside and a sweet and savory soy-based glaze, all with a chewy texture, is exquisite.
Step 1
Wash the sweet potato well, wrap it in plastic wrap, place it on a heat-resistant plate, and microwave until a bamboo skewer goes through easily, about 5 minutes.
Step 2
Open the wrap to let the steam escape slightly, place it in a plastic freezer bag, and mash with your hands. Once roughly mashed, remove any large pieces of peel.
Step 3
Add sugar and potato starch into the bag, then add the milk little by little while checking the consistency of the sweet potato, and knead until smooth.
Step 4
Cut open both sides of the bag with scissors and use a rubber spatula to bring the dough together. Divide into 8 portions. Make a hole in the center of each, stuff with a slice of cheese folded into quarters, wrap it up, and shape into a flat circle.
Step 5
Heat salad oil in a frying pan over medium heat and arrange the sweet potato mochi in the pan. Fry each side for about 3 minutes until golden brown.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
💡 Microwaving the sweet potato whole ensures it stays moist rather than dry.
💡 You don't have to remove the peels completely; leaving a little bit is fine.
💡 Adjust the milk between 4 to 5 tablespoons depending on the variety and moisture content of the sweet potato. A slightly softer dough will result in a moister texture.
💡 You can substitute the oil with butter or sesame oil when frying for a richer flavor.
