Step 1
Prepare the Potatoes. First, peel and dice the potatoes into 1-inch cubes (approximately).
Step 2
Boil the Potatoes. Place potatoes in a large pan with water. Boil until soft, about 15 minutes.
Step 3
Drain. Drain the potatoes well, removing any leftover water.
Step 4
Mash. Use a fork or a potato masher to mash the potatoes until completely soft and no lumps remain.
Step 5
Add & Measure. Add potato starch, vegan butter & salt to the mashed potatoes. Mix well with a fork until combined. Then scoop out ¼ cup.
Step 6
Shape It. Use your hands to shape ¼ cup of the mixture into a smooth disc. If the mixture can't be formed into a disc, add more potato starch & mix well. Repeat until you've used up all the dough.
Step 7
Heat Oil. Heat oil in a frying pan. Add mochi, spacing them out equally. Depending on your pan size, you might need to fry them in several batches.
Step 8
Fry the mochi. Fry mochi on each side until golden brown and crispy.
Step 9
Mix. Add soy sauce, sugar, and mirin to a small pan.
Step 10
Dissolve. Heat until the sugar is dissolved. Then dip each mochi into the sauce on both sides.
Step 11
Wrap. To finish it off, wrap a small strip of nori around the bottom of each mochi.
Step 12
Serve & Enjoy. I like serving it with miso-glazed tofu for extra protein or some pan-fried broccoli.
