Chewy Mochi Donuts with Vibrant Matcha Glaze

In a large bowl, whisk together the glutinous rice flour, all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and baking powder.

In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup milk and the egg. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a soft dough forms.

Lightly flour your hands and a clean surface. Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a small ball, then gently flatten it slightly and poke a hole in the center to form a donut shape.

Heat 2 cups of vegetable oil in a deep pot or Dutch oven over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

Carefully place 2-3 donuts into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on a wire rack lined with paper towels to drain.

While the donuts cool, prepare the matcha glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, matcha powder, and 2 tablespoons of milk until smooth.

Once the donuts have cooled slightly, dip each donut into the matcha glaze, ensuring an even coating. Place them back on the wire rack to allow the glaze to set.

Serve immediately and enjoy the chewy texture and vibrant matcha flavor.
