Katchan introduces the dish: "Irresistible Tofu and Potato Mochi" made by mixing potatoes and tofu and baking them. Ingredients and seasonings are listed in the video description.
Use new potatoes with skin, or peel classic potatoes. Wash two potatoes (250g), remove sprouts and discolored parts. Slice thinly, then sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon of salt and let sit for 5 minutes to soften and release moisture.
Use 1/2 block of tofu (150g) without draining, just remove water from the package. Mash the tofu in a bowl, add 1 teaspoon of granulated consommé and 4 tablespoons of potato starch. Mix well.
Squeeze excess water from potatoes by hand. Add the potatoes to the tofu mixture and mix thoroughly until well combined and the tofu is evenly distributed.
Heat 1/2 tablespoon of vegetable oil and 1/2 tablespoon of sesame oil in a pan over medium heat. Spoon bite-sized portions of the mixture, flatten them into circles, and reshape if necessary. Cook until golden brown on the bottom.
Flip the mochi once golden brown. Cover and steam on low heat for 4 minutes. Increase heat briefly to crisp the surface. Remove and serve on a plate.
The completed Mochi is delicious and well-seasoned. It's easy to make, and the combination of potato flavor with the chewy tofu texture is delightful. The use of grated ingredients and salt helps them bind better with the tofu. No pre-cooking or draining of tofu is needed, as potato starch acts as a binder.
The mochi has a pleasant chewy and crispy texture. Simple salt and consommé seasoning is delicious, and sesame oil enhances the flavor while providing a crispy finish. Thinly sliced potatoes contribute to the texture, and grated potatoes add a nice touch. This recipe is simple and uses common ingredients like tofu and potatoes, creating a chewy texture.
