likebyregina These Mini Cheese Mochi Balls are my favourite childhood snacks in Hong Kong. They often come in different flavors, such as sesame, matcha azuki, and chocolate etc. But the one that I’m addicting the most is the cheese flavor. Each ball is puffy, with a golden brown crispy shells and a soft, chewy inside. In the homemade version, I added extra cheese to give it a stronger flavor. With this one-bowl recipe, you can easily make them and finish them in one setting.

Did you get your parmesan powder in Vancouver? If so, where, and what brand? I’ve been looking for parmesan powder for baking for a while, with no avail
Hi, I got them from superstore. Mine is Kraft, and I got the low fat one too. You should be able to find them in any grocery stores in Vancouver. Hope this help!
Oh, I think I’ve seen those around! Will give it a shot sometime. Thank you!
[…] few weeks ago, I made the Cheese Mochi Balls, and I decided to go for a sweet version – Purple Yam Mochi Balls. If you have any leftover […]
Hi!! Is this using Mochiko or the Chinese glutinous rice flour?
Also I’m out of matcha powder and need to buy – do you have any recommendations for which you put in your baking?
Thanks!
Hi, it is the chinese glutinous rice flour that I used in here. If you are looking for matcha powder, you can try out the ones I usually got from Paragon Tea Room ? they are base in Vancouver, which you can pickup. But they also offer delivery. If you are there, go try their drinks too! Let me know if you have more questions!
Oh great, thanks for the info and I will try Paragon Tea Room!
You are welcome! If you have anymore questions, feel free to ask ???
