Isobe-Yaki Potato Mochi じゃがいも 磯辺焼き
Description
Soft, chewy and delicious potato mochi entangled in a sweet soy sauce. The perfect quick, healthy and easy snack or side dish!
Ingredients
Potato Mochi
- 1 large potato, cooked potatoes (290g // with skin on, cooked and peeled after)
- 2 tbsp potato starch (25g)
- 2 tbsp of milk, as needed (30ml)
- 1 tbsp vegan butter
- Nori for wrapping
Sauce
- 2 tablespoon soy sauce 30ml
- 2 tbsp sugar 25g-g
- 1 tablespoon mirin 15-25g
- 1 tbsp sake (or sub more mirin, it will be slightly more sweet)
Instructions
- Microwave the potatoes with a damp paper towel around it at 600 W for 5 minutes or until soft. Allow potato to cool.
- In the mean time, mix all the sauce ingredients together. Cut small rectangles of nori to wrap the potato mochi.
- Once potato are cooled, remove skin and mash. Mix in the potato starch and non-dairy milk little by little. Adjust amount accordingly depending on moisture of potato.

Marla says
Such a comforting, delicious snack! Insanely simple to prepare, and cute handheld presentation. The sauce...I don’t even have words. I reserved the extra portion for “dipping” but more realistically, will be drinking sips of it straight from the dish all night that’s how addictive it is.

★★★★★
SS says
I found it easier to grate the potatoes rather than mash it. Other than that, I followed the instructions precisely (I didn't have sake so added in extra mirin) and it was delicious! I'm thinking of using the leftover sauce on some grilled onigiri!

Susan says
Amazing!! I was worried I would mess it up with cooking the potato in the microwave (I fail at some simple things! Ha) but I saw Lisa say to someone on Instagram that the potato can be boiled. So I boiled it to be on the safe side, then followed the rest of the recipe as above. I don't have sake so used the extra mirin option. These are really easy to make and so delicious. Will be making these a lot! Thanks for sharing this! X

Ok...I should start off by saying I’m a terrible cook and I managed to make this and it was delicious!!! I can’t believe I was able to successfully make this because there’s always a 70% chance of failure when I try new recipes. I cannot wait to try out the other ones!!!!!

This recipe was so simple and easy, and absolutely delicious! I didn't have sake, so I doubled down on the mirin, and am excited to see how the flavor changes with sake instead. I also tried these with a little chili oil and sriracha, and it was just *chefs kiss*.

Lisa says
I’ve made these twice in a week. These potato mochis are so easy to prepare and incredibly addictive. I love potatoes and these smell so amazing while cooking in a pan. I’m obsessed with the texture of them too! The 2nd time I made them I didn’t make the teriyaki sauce. They were delicious plain.
★★★★★
Taliah says
These turned out so good!! I modified the sauce recipe slightly and used coconut aminos instead, but otherwise followed the recipe exactly. I can’t wait to try it again!
★★★★★
Kam says
Ever since I tried this dish. I must eat it at least once a week!! It’s so tasty I can’t get enough of it!
Made a substitute of Cornstarch and it worked wonders!! The sauce was brilliant too and gave the Mochi such a nice taste.
★★★★★
Jo says
My bf loved it. They taste kind of like plantains.
★★★★★
Taylor says
These are amazing!! Made them w/ cornstarch and sweet rice flour 2 different times and both were great subs for potato starch since I didn’t have any. So flavorful, chewy, and easy to make!
★★★★★
Hannah says
This recipe was absolutely amazing! Except for boiling the potatoes (mine were apparently quite tough), the recipe is really quick and easy. I didn't use butter, but vegetable oil worked fine too. Absolutely 10/10 making it again 😀 maybe I'll try variations like with chili flakes, sesame seeds, something like that!

So easy. So yummy. Also easy to adjust to however much potato you have sitting around! I made it for a quick snack and it’s delicious! Used olive oil instead of butter. Will be making again and adding cheese!

Ricky Kan says
So fun to make! Honestly, it was really easy, and you can also put cheese in the potato balls too for that gooey effect! It was salty, savory, and slightly chewy and it made a fun meal for everyone in my family to eat. I will for sure find the time to make this again and everyone else should do too!

Tayla says
Lisa's insta always gets me trying new recipes and I'm so glad she does. These potato mochi are so satisfyingly crunchy and soft at the same time; sweet & salty on the surface and melt in your mouth potato goodness at the centre. I've found par-boiling the potatoes works just as well especially if your microwave isn't as powerful (also you can peel them first this way to avoid burning your fingers). I first made these at a friend's with a gas cooker and they came out perfectly, had to try a few times to get the same results back home with electric so make sure to get the pan nice & hot to get that sizzling crunchy caramelised exterior. Could eat these everyday.

this recipe is so easy! vegan, comforting, and a great way to start the morning! the way the sauce coats the mochi is incredible
i didn’t have potato starch or sake so i used more mirin and tapioca flour instead. they came out amazing! i will be adding potato starch to my pantry tho i’m sure it makes it even better!! 10/10 my new fav morning recipe

Super easy to make and they turned out delicious! Crispy on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside. The nori gives it a nice salty umami flavor which really makes the dish

These were super simple to make and so delicious!! The sauce is perfect. I felt weird not seasoning the potatoes before pan frying but the sauce gives it all the flavor it needs. My partner and I made them three times in a week, and we’ve put ourselves in potato jail.

Asuka the Shiba says
Absolutely delicious little starchy delights!
I think I had a giant potato because my patties came out huge! If this happens to you I recommend simply making them smaller (hey, you get more that way!)
I unfortunately didn’t have vegan cheese on hand so I simply omitted it, but next time I will definitely be sure to have some!
Thank you for another killer recipe!
★★★★★
Klaudia says
I've just done it and its delicious! and absolutely easy to make, I really recommend!. Also, I'm wondering what to serve them with as the best option, any recommendations? 🙂
★★★★★
Nessa says
This recipe was so easy to put together and tasted delicious! I went to Hmart for the potato starch and mirin and both were super easy to find. Really glad to have these ingredients on hand as they open up some other recipes for me to try too 😋 I loved the potato both and without the nori. Crispy on the outside and still sooo soft inside, honestly 10/10 it’s the perfect potato snack 💓
★★★★★
Dumbcreations says
I made these for a TikTok video and the video was a huge hit, so thank you! They’re also delicious, so thanks for that too! I didn’t have potato starch, mirin, or sake, so I used cornstarch and rice vinegar, which turned out amazing!
Here’s the video if you’re interested! https://vm.tiktok.com/TTPdkTfyYj/

Emily says
I was inspired to make this recipe by the new Pokemon Arceus game, and they were just as tasty and comforting as they look in the game! This recipe was also so simple to make, although I do recommend using a nice thin spatula to get the first flip perfect. Also - if your glaze doesn’t seem to be thickening enough, let it cool for a few minutes and it will get thicker. I’ll definitely make these again!
