Description

Soft, chewy and delicious potato mochi entangled in a sweet soy sauce. The perfect quick, healthy and easy snack or side dish!


Ingredients

Units Scale

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

  1. Microwave the potatoes with a damp paper towel around it at 600 W for 5 minutes or until soft. Allow potato to cool. 
  2. In the mean time, mix all the sauce ingredients together. Cut small rectangles of nori to wrap the potato mochi. 
  3. 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. It should stick together to form patties but not be too wet or sticky. Divide into about 60g pieces and then shape them into circles. 
  4. Heat oil or butter in pan and fry both sides until golden brown over medium heat
  5. Remove excess oil if there is. Stop the heat and then add the sauce, and cook until it thickes. Coat potato mochi with sauce and wrap with nori. Add cheese in the middle if desired

    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.

    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

    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.

    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!

    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 💓

    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/

    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!
