Tips

1. Mochi Filling: If the mochi is frozen, thaw it properly at room temperature to make it pliable. Overcooking or handling it when too cold can make the texture chewy or hard.
2. Balancing Sweet and Savory Flavors: Chicken floss adds a savory umami flavor to balance the sweetness of the mochi and sesame. Make sure to use just enough to complement the flavors without overpowering the dish.
3. Form the Biscuits : Make sure to press the mochi balls evenly into the dough so that the filling is distributed well throughout the biscuit. The mochi should be soft but firm enough to stay in place.
