Red Bean Mochi (sticky rice balls) is one of the popular snacks in Hong Kong, named nuo mi ci 糯米糍 in Cantonese. It’s quite similar to Japanese Daifuku mochi, a sticky rice ball filled with red bean paste. Anyway, is your choice of adding any filling you prefer. This Red Bean Mochi is soft and chewy, and it is best eaten within one day. Definitely a perfect snack (dim sum) for the whole family to enjoy at home. You’ll find the red bean mochi a little chewier but not that soft if they are kept in an airtight container at room temperature for a day.
