Pillowy Hakka-Style Mochi Cakes Are the Ultimate Chewy Dessert
Hakka-style mochi is a popular confection in Taiwan, where plain pieces of mochi are dusted with a sweet, flavored powder while still soft and warm. For black sesame mochi, Cathy Erway dusts with peanut powder and black sesame powder in her recipe adapted from Vivian Ku, chef of Joy and Pine & Crane in Los Angeles.
