Karioka (Filipino Chewy Balls) With Sweet Sugar Sauce image

Mmm.. Karioka is such a simple and portable snack. It's sweet&crunchy on the outside, chewy on the inside, and yummy! This is kind of like kushi-dango, but with coconut. Makes ALOT of balls.

Time 20m

Yield 30-40 balls

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 cups mochiko sweet rice flour (glutinous rice flour)
3 cups coconut milk, buy 2 cans
3/4 cup coconut, sport strings (macapuno)
1 cup brown sugar
oil, for frying
bamboo skewer (usually four balls onto one skewer) (optional)

Steps:

  • DOUGH: Mix 2 cups of mochiko and 2 cups of coconut milk together. Mixture will be very wet. Add macapuno to the dough.
  • Make into 1" to 1 1/2" balls and deep fry. (TIP: while forming, using two spoons. Then, immediately put into frying pan).
  • SAUCE: Boil 1 cup coconut milk and brown sugar until sticky. Dip karioka into the sauce and eat or pour/drizzle the sauce on the karioka. Skewer. Some people don't like their karioka sweet so they just roll/dust brown sugar on top of the karioka while its hot.
