Ingredients
Scale
For the Mochi Dough:
- 1 cup glutinous rice flour (mochiko)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup water
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
For the Filling:
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- Optional: sesame seeds or green onions for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Mochi Dough: In a microwave-safe bowl, whisk together the glutinous rice flour, sugar, water, and salt until smooth. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and microwave on high for 1 minute. Stir the mixture, then microwave for an additional 1 minute until the dough is thick and sticky.
- Form the Mochi Balls: Divide the mochi dough into 12 equal portions. Take one portion of dough and flatten it in your palm. Place a small amount of shredded mozzarella cheese in the center of the dough. Fold the edges of the dough over the cheese to encase it completely. Roll the dough into a smooth ball, ensuring there are no cracks or openings.
- Cook the Mochi Cheese Balls: Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease the skillet with oil. Place the mochi cheese balls in the skillet, seam side down. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Serve: Remove the cooked mochi cheese balls from the skillet and transfer them to a serving plate. Garnish with sesame seeds or chopped green onions if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
