Instructions

If using fresh mochi, roll it thinly, slice into small pieces, and dry on a tray at room temperature in a cool, dry place for four to five days.
Heat canola oil to 340 F in a small pot.
Line a plate with paper towels for draining.
Deep-fry mochi pieces in small batches for about 1 minute per side until browned, turning and removing promptly to prevent burning.
Drain on paper towels.
Season immediately with salt and pepper, or optional furikake.
