Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Glutinous rice flour
- 50 grams Almond flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 60 grams Granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 200 milliliters Coconut milk
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 500 milliliters Vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
In a large bowl, whisk together glutinous rice flour, almond flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until they are well mixed.
In a separate bowl, mix coconut milk and vanilla extract. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until a dough forms.
Knead the dough in the bowl for a minute until it comes together and is smooth. If it's too sticky, you can add a small amount of glutinous rice flour.
Divide the dough into 6 equal portions. Roll each portion into a long rope about 1 to 1.5 cm thick and then shape them into rings by pressing the ends together.
Heat vegetable oil in a deep saucepan over medium heat until it reaches 170°C (340°F). To check the oil's readiness, drop a small piece of dough into the oil; it should rise to the surface bubbling.
Gently lower one or two mochi rings into the hot oil (don’t overcrowd the pan) and fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.
Use a slotted spoon to carefully remove the donuts from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Repeat the frying process with the remaining donut rings.
Allow the donuts to cool slightly before serving. Optionally, you can dust them with powdered sugar or glaze them with your favorite vegan glaze.
