Karioka (Filipino Chewy Balls) With Sweet Sugar Sauce

Recipe #146225 | 20 min | 5 min prep | add private note

By: Secret Teenage Chef
Nov 25, 2005

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.

30 -40 balls (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    DOUGH: Mix 2 cups of mochiko and 2 cups of coconut milk together. Mixture will be very wet. Add macapuno to the dough.
  2. 2
    Make into 1" to 1 1/2" balls and deep fry. (TIP: while forming, using two spoons. Then, immediately put into frying pan).
  3. 3
    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.

You had the right concept, but this recipe is WAY too wet. Wet mochiko is not easy to form into a ball, and you should use your hands, not have to use spoons to form it. If it works for you congrats but it did not work for me. Use only enough coconut milk to make the dough crumble and fry at 375 degrees for a few minutes.

    This is a good and easy treat for the family. Like the Chef mentioned here, some people do not like it sweet so my family eat these by themselves while still warm. Crunchy on the outside and gooey inside. Very satisfying. Thanks for posting!
