Korean Mochi Bread is crispy on the outside and chewy and hollow on the inside just like the Taiwanese Sweet potato balls, but without deep frying. They are also named dinosaur eggs (by the way they looked, aren’t they just looked like an egg?)
They cooking method of this mochi bread is almost the same with choux puff. Heat the milk, butter and sugar until the butter melt then add in the flour to whisk it all together. Let the dough cool a bit, and add the eggs to incorporate slowly into it. The dough should look slightly translucent, and form a long peak when it breaks off. When the consistency is satisfied, the dough is ready to be piped on the tray.
