Ingredients

  • 3 blocks kirimochi cut into chunks
  • 2 links Taiwanese sausage
  • 1 tablespoon garlic oil optional

Garnish:

  • 1 tablespoon crushed peanut
  • 1 green onion sliced
  • cucumber sliced

Instructions

Prepare the kirimochi:

  • Use a sharp knife to cut the kirimochi into 4 smaller pieces.

Grill:

  • Preheat griddle or grill over medium-high heat.
  • Add the kirimochi pieces onto the grill (without oil), turning the mochi over when it is puffed up, about 7-10 minutes per side.
  • At the same time, grill the Taiwanese sausage until cooked through, turning halfway, about 15-20 minutes.
  • Transfer the cooked, puffed mochi pieces and Taiwanese sausage onto a plate.
  • Cut the Taiwanese sausage into small chunks using a sharp knife.

Assemble:

  • Use a bamboo skewer to poke a mochi piece and alternate with Taiwanese sausage to build a skewer.
  • Repeat with the remainder.
  • Place the skewers onto the grill over medium heat and lightly brush both sides with garlic oil (if using).
  • Once heated through, remove from heat and garnish with crushed peanut and green onion.
  • Serve immediately.
