Mmm.. Karioka is such a simple and portable snack. It's sweet&crunchy on the outside, chewy on the inside, and yummy! This is kind of like kushi-dango, but with coconut. Makes ALOT of balls. Ingredients:
2 cups mochiko sweet rice flour (glutinous rice flour) |
3 cups coconut milk, buy 2 cans |
3/4 cup coconut, sport strings (macapuno) |
1 cup brown sugar |
oil, for frying |
bamboo skewer (usually four balls onto one skewer) (optional) |
Directions:
1. DOUGH: Mix 2 cups of mochiko and 2 cups of coconut milk together. Mixture will be very wet. Add macapuno to the dough.
2. Make into 1 to 1 1/2 balls and deep fry. (TIP: while forming, using two spoons. Then, immediately put into frying pan).
3. SAUCE: Boil 1 cup coconut milk and brown sugar until sticky. Dip karioka into the sauce and eat or pour/drizzle the sauce on the karioka. Skewer. Some people don't like their karioka sweet so they just roll/dust brown sugar on top of the karioka while its hot.
