How to Make Hawaiian Butter Mochi

Sun nin fai lok! (Happy New Year!)  

I made a baked version of nin go (Mandarin: "nian gao", new year cake), which is very similar to Hawaiian butter mochi.  Then I cut it into cubes and fried them in neutral oil--with a touch of toasted sesame oil for extra flavour.  

The texture is crispy on the outside, and tender/squishy/chewy and sticky on the inside.  My partner described it as: "’Nuts and gum--together at last!’ but in a good way.” 

When served warm, the inside is a little gooey (my preference); when cool, it's more firm.  

Recipe: https://whattocooktoday.com/baked-nian-gao.html 

I don't like shredded coconut, so I swapped for toasted sesame seeds.  I also subbed out a bit of the butter for coconut oil.  

If you like the cake to stay crispy on top, don't use an airtight container to store it.  Just press a strip of plastic wrap or waxed paper onto the cut faces (the squishy parts) and leave the top uncovered.  

The fried cubes get soggy in an airtight container, too.  I think it would be good to keep them on a plate with a cotton towel on top. 

Lore/tradition: 

The story I heard about this cake growing up (well, the traditional version, anyway) goes something like this...  Around this time of year, the Kitchen God visits your household to make a report about your family.  But he also accepts bribes.  And if the bribes are sticky sweets, they will stick his mouth shut when he goes to make his report!  

My family comes from Hong Kong where the popular way to eat it is: cut into slices, dipped in a batter of scrambled egg, and fried.

i made butter mochi for one of my fav classes today and im lowkey nervous because the condensed milk burnt at the top so it does looks a LITTLE charred

BUTTTT, the actual piece of the cake is unchanged and remains in its golden chewy goodness! and it’s actually so thick

and besides, the condensed milk kinda tastes like caramel?

i’m just a little worried though since i don’t talk as much at school and people might not eat it. which is fine! more the merrier i guess?

Butter Mochi

Pop-up vendor at the mall. Variety Pack Tiramisu, rainbow sherbet, ube crunch. The Cat wanted to try try. Butter Mochi The Mouse has been eating one a day with his coffee. So far, tried the rainbow sherbet, and the ube crunch, both pretty good. Like dense pound cake. 🙂 If we find the vendor again, would purchase again. Each month flavors change. Be well, eat well.

Not too much going on for The Mouse, eating-wise, but still, The Mouse got to eat. 🤪 Instant Oatmeal Quick breakfast, the oatmeal had bits of dried apples. Sorta mmm. Ovaltine with Oat Milk Small-kid time. Except with oat milk instead of moo juice. Old age. Hee hee. Lau Lau Bento An indulge for The Mouse. The bento sat under a heating lamp, the rice was a little unintentionally “crispy”.…
