Instructions

1. 1

   Peel and dice the taro root into small cubes. Steam the taro until soft, about 15-20 minutes.

   In a mixing bowl, combine the steamed taro, glutinous rice flour, sugar, and coconut milk. Mix until a smooth dough forms.

4. 4

   Flatten each ball slightly and place them on a steaming tray lined with parchment paper.

5. 5

   Steam the mochi balls for 15-20 minutes until they become translucent and sticky.

6. 6

   While the mochi is steaming, prepare the spicy peanut sauce. Finely chop the red chili and cilantro.

7. 7

   In a small bowl, mix the peanut butter with the chopped chili and cilantro. Add a little water if needed to achieve a smooth sauce consistency.

8. 8

   Once the mochi is done, let them cool slightly before serving.

   Serve the mochi with the spicy peanut sauce on the side for dipping.
