How to Make Taiwanese Mochi Sausage: A Simple Guide

Mochi sausage, or *nu mi chang*, is a beloved Taiwanese snack loved for its chewy rice cake exterior and savory sausage core. Here’s a basic guide to making it at home.

Ingredients: Glutinous rice flour (200g), Taiwanese sausage (1-2, sliced), water (250ml), salt (1 tsp), oil (1 tbsp). Optional: Add diced scallions or peanuts for extra flavor.

Steps:

1. Prepare the batter: Mix glutinous rice flour with water and salt until smooth. Let it rest for 30 minutes.

2. Cook the batter: Pour the mixture into a non-stick pan, cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until thickened (about 10-15 minutes).

3. Shape the sausage: Spread the sticky dough on a parchment paper, place sausage slices in the center, and roll it tightly into a log.

4. Steam and fry: Steam the roll for 20 minutes until firm. Let it cool, then slice into 1-inch pieces. Pan-fry until golden brown, or air-fry for a healthier option.

Serving tip: Enjoy with sweet chili sauce or soy dip. For a twist, try fillings like cheese or minced meat. Homemade mochi sausage is easy, fun, and perfect for snacking or parties!
