These mochi donuts put a delicious twist on classic fried donuts. They are Japanese-style donuts that are crispy on the outside with an ultra chewy and pillowy soft inside. And this mochi donut recipe has a sweet matcha glaze that coats each one for a delicious melt-in-your-mouth finish.

Ingredients

Scale

Donuts:

1 cup (120g) All-Purpose Flour

1 tbsp. Cornstarch

¾ cup (118g) Glutinous Rice Flour

1 tsp. Baking Powder

½ Cup Sugar

4 oz. Silken Tofu

1 Egg

3 tbsp. Water

3 cups Vegetable Oil

Glaze:

1 cup Confectioners Sugar

1 tbsp. Heavy Cream

2 tbsp. Lemon Juice

½ tbsp. Matcha Powder

4 tbsp. Confectioners Sugar For Topping

Instructions

  1. Sift flour, cornstarch, glutinous rice flour, baking powder, and sugar into a large bowl.
  2. Grate the silken tofu into another large bowl using the fine side of a box grater. Add egg and mix until creamy.
  3. Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and add the water 1 tbsp. at the time until the dough is sticky but easy to handle.
  4. Use a food scale to weigh out 8-9 gram dough balls until you have used all of the dough.
  5. Form circular donuts out of about 8 pieces of dough on parchment paper. Try to press them together as much as possible without them losing their shape.
  6. Heat 3 cups of vegetable oil to 350ºF (177°C) using a candy thermometer to make sure you have the right temperature.
  7. Fry each mochi donut, leaving the parchment paper on the bottom.
  8. Once they start getting golden brown, you may separate them from the paper and continue frying until they are golden brown (you can also take them out of the oil with the paper and remove it once it cools).
  9. Put the donuts on a wire rack and blot the excess oil using a kitchen towel.
  10. Combine all the glaze ingredients in a medium bowl until it is creamy (add water if it's too thick).
  11.  Dip each mochi donut halfway into the glaze and place it on a wire rack to let the glaze drip down the sides. Top each donut with confectioners sugar.

Notes

The scale up function does not change the gram measurements.
