With this recipe you don’t have to wait for so long to enjoy a piece of fluffy donut.
They are soft, airy, bouncy, and chewy all at the same time! 

I really like donuts, how about you?
But sometimes I feel like it takes forever to make yeast donuts, would you agree with me?

These cute Mochi Donuts recipe will change our perception; the dough is really fast and easy to make and it doesn’t deflate after frying.
They are soft, airy, bouncy, and chewy all at the same time.

If you haven’t heard of Mochi Donuts yet, these donuts were popularised in Japan from Mister Donut and known as “Pon De Ring,” whose donuts are famous for their bubble-ring shape.
It’s also well-loved for its similar mochi-like texture on the inside and deep-fried donut crust.  

Unlike the usual Mochi Donut recipes which is very sticky and difficult to shape (sometimes they need to use piping bag to shape it 🥺); this recipe is easy to handle.

There’s no need to be so perfect when you roll the dough, the surface of the donuts will spring up evenly while frying and become really smooth 😙 🍩

When you fry them, make sure that the temperature of the oil is about 160-170 degrees Celsius; you don’t want to burned them 🤯
And remember “Do not fry all at once”, give some space so that the oil temperature doesn’t drop drastically and make your donuts soggy 😞

You can see that each one has a beautiful ball shape 😍

It’s crispy on the outside, really soft and chewy on the inside
Yummy… Mochi-mochi Donuts 🤤

This donuts is delicious as it is without any topping.
You can just enjoy it like this as a snack or dessert OR….

You can decorate them into a cute cartoon characters like what I did.
Pig, Teddy Bear, Dog ,Cat… whatever you prefer or your kids like 😀

For the coating, I’m prefer to use White Chocolate Compound rather than icing sugar glaze because glaze in warm temperature will melts easily, which is NOT good 🤔
If you can find Candy Melts, that will be a better option. Candy Melts harden super fast and have a thick consistency, it’s really great for coating.

Rather than shaping it into a bubble-ring shape, I thought sticking this donut into a skewer like a SATAY will make this donut even more attractive.

This donut reminds me of the satay donut that I really liked when I was little 🤗 I MISS IT SO MUCH

They not only look adorable but very tasty too 🥰

The mochi-like texture is unique…
And if you try it, I’m sure you will like this better than the traditional one.

I hope you would try to make it, and I’m sure that everyone will fall in love with it!
LOVE YOU ALL…

INSTRUCTIONS
Donut Dough

1. In a large bowl, simply combine all the dry ingredients. 125g Glutinous Rice Flour; 150g Cake Flour; 90g Caster Sugar; 10g Baking Powder
2. Add Greek Yogurt along with Silken Tofu. 125g Greek/ Plain Yogurt; 125g Silken Tofu
   Mix it really well until it’s formed a dough ball (the dough will be soft and slightly sticky).
3. Divide the dough into 20 equal pieces (about 30 grams each).
4. Roll each dough into a ball (apply some all-purpose flour on your hand to prevent the dough from sticking).
   * There’s no need to be so perfect; he surface of the donuts will spring up evenly while frying and become really smooth.
5. Frying
   The temperature of the oil is about 160-170 degrees Celsius.
   Roll each dough one more time before frying (do not fry all at once; give some space so that the oil temperature doesn’t drop drastically and make your donuts soggy).
   Fry for about 4 minutes 
   When the bottom is golden brown, turn it over to color the other side, keep rotating the donuts so that the color is even.
6. Once it’s done, take it out; let it cool completely on a cooling rack.
   Donuts are ready to serve or you can decorate it with some White Chocolate or Candy Melts. 
   

Decorating, Coating & Details

1. After donuts cooled down completely; ut and insert Cashew or Whole Almond Nuts for the ears.
2. Melt some White Chocolate Compound, stir and let it cooled down to 80-90 degrees Fahrenheit (I found this temperature is the best for coating, in this consistency your coating won’t be too thin or too thick, just right).
   * For the Candy Melts once it melted, you can use it immediately
3. Dip each donuts and let the chocolate sets hard.
4. Decorate as desired or kindly follow video instructions.

NOTES

1. Enjoy the donuts on the same day you made them (best served).
2. You can keep both decorated and undecorated donuts at room temperature for a day in an airtight container (make sure to eat the left over on the next day).
3. You can reheat the undecorated donut in the preheated 200°C oven for 5-10 minutes before eating.
4. These donuts can only be stored for 2 days; because on the third day the texture will change and will no longer be chewy.
