Easy Mochi Donuts Recipe with/without Tofu
In our mochi donut tutorial, we'll show you how to make pon de rings with different glazes: Strawberry, chocolate, matcha, ube and cinnamon sugar.
🍴 Here are the ingredients you'll need:
- 130g Glutinous rice flour
- 160g Silken tofu
- 65g Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 110g Yogurt
- 120g Cake flour or all-purpose flour
- Vegetable oil for frying
👨🏼🍳 In our video, we made thicker glazings so that it was visually brighter and more appetising. However, if you want a healthier glazing that is less sugary with a thinner texture but still tasty, see our recipe here: www.honestfoodtalks.com/mochi-donuts-recipe/
📝 You can also make our recipe using an air fryer or oven too. However, similar to our Korean corn dog recipe (ua-cam.com/video/pycLP7HPbYM/v-deo.htmlsi=y1Cmt-GgtahTEgIw), the final results won't be as round because you're not submerging them in oil.
🍴 If you want to make mochi donut without tofu or yogurt, you can replace it with egg and milk. Here's the full ingredient alternatives to use:
- 130 g Glutinous rice flour
- 1 large Egg
- 100 ml Milk
- 65 g Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 120 g Cake flour or all-purpose flour
- 2 cups Vegetable oil for deep frying
📝 Do note that you might need to add more or less milk depending on how dry the dough is.

Sakuraco vs Bokksu Review: Why This ONE Box Is Worth It
a spoon.........
today when i checked, bokksu is cheaper
Definitely take advantage of their end of year sale 😊
hello, would this work with black tea? should i make it light or stronger? thank you.
You can make it w black tea. We recommend making it light 😊
@honestfoodtalks okay! thanks so much!
Any questions about our recipe? Let us know and we’ll be happy to help 😊
Can i use milk instant of water
You can but it will change the taste slightly
Have also had amazing Ube takes on it as a different option the taro with a lil ube foam even maybe a splash of ube cream liqueur with blueberry lavander booze soaked boba pearls for a cocktail take with a shot of rum has been a winner too here.
Sounds delicious!
Yes we dicovered it a tea shop in like 2018 and its been a regular thing in our diets since. Really enjoy the real plus powder the most, as thats how we get it at a few different spot such as ding tea or 85cafe and either do the smoothie taro milk tea or regular taro milk tea but you gotta always have it with honey/brown boba and egg pudding and if really in a sweet tooth of a mood we either add on top the sweet whipped cream cheese on top it or a few place do a creme brulee to top it off. The just real deal ive had done good but also horrid like happy lemon we stopped at in Gilroy CA was just terrible in comparison to say ding teas real taro version. So usually advocate to have both if possible as the best option, but just the powder is really good too. We also buy it in bulk online and have regular tapioca boba pearls and purple taro flavor pearls as well but theres a few really good taro powder blends that are good and you cant beat the price if really into it as you can get 100 plus drinks in some of those bags incomparison to buying a walmart taro boba kit for $10 and only get three drinks or buying at the tea shops at $6 to $8 a pop especially with all the fixings like we like. Trying to find a good dehydrated egg pudding powder as ive tried to put homemade egg pudding and its not the same as that jelly like one they serve at tea shops which is from a powder. I know they sell it just gotta find a distributor. If you havent tried, i highly suggest you do if reading this.
Thanks for sharing! Didn't know theres such thing as egg pudding powder! We usually just make it at home - if you're interested this is our recipe we use for making egg pudding www.honestfoodtalks.com/egg-pudding-custard-boba/
not impartial, so this is SO useless!
Sorry you felt this way! Let us know what other factors/points you would've liked us to cover for you
People spend $30 for a package full of snacks, treats and a kitchen ware but will complain that those $30 didn't get them the most high end stuff possible. Same like those people that book hotel rooms for $50 a night and expect to stay at the Hilton Hotel.
😌😂
sakura for me!!!
Enjoy!
Buying a 6 mo subscription as a Christmas gift for my Japanese wife. Been debating Sakuraco vs. Tokyo Treat but going to roll the dice with Tokyo Treat as she likes more funky snacks. 🙏
Happy that our review helped you make a decision! Hope your wife enjoys it! ☺️
Sounds interesting!
Let us know if you try it out!
Easy and simple receipe
Great, thanks
You are welcome! 😁
Hello ma'am your lovely ricepis how many days laif with freez without freezing.?😊 please anchor
We've never tried freezing them as we reckon it will turn out icy and no longer pop when you bite into them. Let us know if you try it out!
I know this is a stupid question but how much sodium alginate and calcium lactate did you use. In the recipe it says you use 6g of calcium lactate, but in the video it looks like you used like the whole tub. I’m sorry just a lil confused this may seem dumb
We used 6 grams of calcium lactate, and 5g of sodium alginate. They are relatively light, so it looks like we used a lot 😊 we’d suggest using a digital kitchen scale if possible. Also, there are no stupid questions! 😊 Enjoy making popping boba ❤️
Which one that you could buy without subscription?
These are all subscription based. You could subscribe and then cancel (this is what we did before) but we have seen a lot of people (especially in US) complain about not being able to cancel their subscription. So we'll let you know if we come across any that aren't!
I love the selection and the idea, but I have to disagree with the two points made here: for one, 2 weeks is not fast delivery time loll, and secondly, 10 to 15 dollars for shipping is quite expensive,
Thanks for your comment! Definitely agree that it would be nice for delivery to be quicker! From our research, there were other snack boxes which have a 3-4 week delivery timeframe and some which aren't very reliable so in comparison we thought this was reasonable 😊 Shipping is expensive for any snacks boxes coming from Japan 😭
@honestfoodtalks given that they have a short shelf life, 3 to 4 weeks is unacceptable
@@shanchahua definitely means you'll have to eat them in a shorter period of time
Tip: If you want a smoother and silkier texture, replace 1/3 of the condensed milk with evaporated milk. 😊 Please leave a like if you liked this recipe video ❤ it’ll help us out!
So not worth it. Subscription scam. And the snacks generally are t great.
Sorry to hear you had a bad experience! Let us know if there are other ones you recommend or how you normally get your Japanese snacks instead! We're always down to try new ones 😊
Hey: there is an Asian grocery store here in Albuquerque (several but we live talin market) and I take my kids there.
Looks beautiful with comparison of all the boba! I hope and wonder if you figured out a way thats not a mould and faster than spherificafion?
Thank you ☺️ for making it at home, the mould method is still the most efficient method from our experience. Any other method would require devices that are not so affordable… if you have any other ideas do let us know! 😃
Hi! How long can these be stored in the fridge before going bad?
Based on our experience, itll last about 1 week in the fridge in an airtight container
What brand of match powder is this ?
It's Aorashi - amzn.to/48XKpt0
Or you can just do gelatin and fruit juice. Mixed together, bring to a boil and then let cool for 20 minutes. Using a syringe like in this video, you drop little pearls of the gelatin juice mixture into ice cold water!!
We'll give it a try 😊
That sounds far simpler.
I feel like that'd replicate tapioca pearls vs the popping boba, I'm sure it's still just as good, but without the pop lol
I love this I was introduced to it at a Korean BBQ restaurant a few weeks ago
We tried it first at Korean BBQ with dak galbi 😊
matcha fanatic here...thank you for this 😊 i hope everyone has a matchaful day :)
You too!
If I subscribe in Tokyo treat will I pay for the subscription?
If you subscribe to their monthly or annual subscriptions, you'll pay the subscription fee. So if you don't want to, then we suggest only getting 1 box to try first 😊
They will automatically renew though
can you guys also do a review of "Japan Crate" vs "Tokyo Treat" ?
At the moment we don't think Japan Crate has a very reliable shipment time for us to do a review on a few boxes like this video. We've tried ordering from Japan Crate in Oct 2023 but shipping was delayed twice. Customer service was nice when we chased about the Halloween box but we were told there was no more left and they suggested changing our order to a Christmas box instead. The Christmas box only arrived at the end of January 2024 for us. We'll definitely consider doing a review in the future once we feel enough time has passed for them to solve any supply issues they have.
Unsure about the recipe? Comment below and we'll be happy to help out 😊 If you liked the video, do us a favour and leave a like ❤
Can you add a small amount of coffee creamer to give it some sort of sweetness?
For matcha lattes, the milk adds volume and also a subtle sweetness to the drink. Conceptually you can use coffee creamer, but it may mean you still have to add water or milk for volume.
Thank you for the Delicated and Beautiful Way To explain 😊
👍🏻
Why do you need to make it Halal ..You lost ne there
You can replace w other types of sausages/meat if you prefer We have friends with halal dietary requirements, and wanted to share w them too 😊
Not convinced..All the best .!!
I just made these and they turned out great! I was wanting to make Korean corn dogs, but didn't want to wait an hour for the yeast method so I came upon your recipe. Thanks for sharing!
Finally, someone who posts a recipe. 🙏
Loved this boba looked so good
tried this recipe and it worked so well, super yummy (i'm eating it right now)
Can you eat it ?
Yes you can 😃
Thanks!
next time tell us what the “nibbles” are i don’t care what the package looks like if i don’t know what it is

Uhh, this looks sooo nice! Is the Promo code still useable? :0
It should be yes 😊
stay away from this - it's probably plastic
Hi I used your proportions but my popping boba after a night in the fridge are hard as jelly. I used calcium chloride as a solution for soaking the balls the rest of the proportions. instead of juice I used syrup. I used water with low calcium content. What did I do wrong?
Thanks for the video. May I ask for any expertise you may have if people ever use a hand milk frother to froth inside the chawan (instead of a glass) just as you would a bamboo whisk? Thanks!
We wouldn't recommend using an electric milk frother in a chawan just because you need a lot more liquid for the electric frother to mix properly and it could get a bit messy 😅
@@honestfoodtalks That makes sense. I will try preparing my usucha in a glass measuring cup first and then SERVE it in a chawan. Thanks so much for your help!
@@taylora8845 no problem! Happy matcha making 😁
So on the 12 months payment do you pay 33-36 $ per month or how does the payment work?
We've not subscribed to the annual plan before but we read it's billed annually!
I failed. Matcha powder everywhere.
Hope you try again and good luck!
I noticed!
It was Vietnam sending poppy boba of white bl00d cells
I do enjoy a matcha latte with oat milk ❤ and vanilla. Where can I get a sifter of that size?? ❤❤
