Cheesy Mochi Mayo Bites

1Preparing the Mochi In a microwave-safe bowl, mix the glutinous rice flour (1 cup) and water (1 cup) until smooth. Microwave on high for 3 minutes, then stir. Repeat heating and stirring at 1-minute intervals until the dough is thick and sticky.

2Making the Mochi Bites Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a bowl, combine the cooked mochi dough, mozzarella cheese (½ cup), Parmesan cheese (¼ cup), garlic powder (½ teaspoon), onion powder (½ teaspoon), and salt (¼ teaspoon). Mix well to form a dough.

3Take small portions of the dough and shape them into bite-sized balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.

4Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the bites are golden and crispy on the outside.

5Preparing the Mayo Dip In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise (½ cup), sriracha sauce (1 tablespoon), honey (1 tablespoon), lime juice (½ teaspoon), and paprika (¼ teaspoon) until well combined.
