Recipe on mochi doughnuts!

1. In a large bowl, put 1 cup of flour, 1 tablespoon of cornstarch, 3/4 cup of rice flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, and 1/2 cup of sugar. Then put the bowl aside after putting the ingredients listed in.
2. In a different bowl, press the silken tofu through a mesh sieve, and scrape the bottom of the mesh so all tofu is used.
3. Crack one large egg and use 2 tablespoons of water into the tofu mixture, use a whisk to mix.
4. Add the egg and tofu mixture into the large bowl you had set aside in the beginning, and use a spatula to combine the mixtures.
5. Once the dough starts coming together, use your plastic gloves and start shaping the dough.
6. Form the dough into little balls (around 7 grams each), you’ll have around 64 dough balls.
7. Cut 8 (5 x 5 inch) square pieces of parchment paper, and begin forming doughnut shapes on top of each paper (use 8 balls for each doughnut!)
8. Fill a pot with 2 inches of vegetable or corn oil and heat it to 325-250 Fahrenheit.
9.  Place the paper and doughnut onto the large slotted spoon, and gently slip it into the hot oil. (Only do two doughnuts at a time!)
10. After a minute or two, use the tongs to flip it over then peel off the parchment paper with the same tongs. Once the doughnuts have a golden brown on one side, flip it over for a minute.
11. Put the doughnuts on a plate with paper towels, allowing the extra oil to absorb in the paper towels.

And that is how to make mochi doughnuts!
