![]() JOC saw a thermometer in the donut dough (see below) and he also remembered seeing a thermometer in the video clip that was looping inside Mister Donut in Japan. This time we found this YouTube video that allowed a camera to go into the Mister Donut’s kitchen. all-purpose flour + tapioca flour (with different ratios) – We researched more. ![]() The glutinous rice made the donuts denser as expected from our trials #1 and #2. glutinous rice flour + tapioca flour (with 3 different ratios) – I thought I should combine glutinous rice flour and tapioca flour and see what happens.So I tried making the donut with 100% tapioca flour but couldn’t achieve the right texture. tapioca flour only – After further research, I learned that Mister Donut officially said Pon de Ring contains tapioca flour.Adding tofu (and decreasing the rice component in the mixture) helps the texture to stay a bit softer. Why tofu, you may ask? Any food made of rice (in this case, glutinous rice flour) becomes hard naturally when it’s cool. Just like everyone claimed, this is almost Pon de Ring-like donuts but not quite right at all. glutinous rice flour + tofu (with different ratios) – You’ll find tons of Japanese “Pon de Ring-like (ポンデリング風)” recipes online using the glutinous rice flour and tofu combination, so I had to try at least once.glutinous rice flour only – It tasted like Mochi Donut, but not the same as Pon de Ring.We tried the following flours in chronological order: We started by working out the main ingredients – specifically flours. Challenge #1: Choosing the right flour(s) If we can’t make it the same due to lack of machinery or unnatural ingredients, we wanted to at least achieve the best possible quality. ![]() JOC and I spent 2 weeks figuring out the Pon de Ring recipe, sometimes making donuts several times a day! Our focus from the beginning was to achieve the right airy but mochi-like texture of Pon de Ring. * Please read, only if you’re interested. I’ve made it before and they were excellent. If you have tried and loved the texture of mochi donuts, check out Mandy’s website, Lady and Pups for the recipe. For example, bagels with a chewy texture can be described as it has a mochi-like texture. In Japanese, we describe Pon de Ring’s mochi-like texture as mochi-mochi (モチモチしてる) or mocchiri (モッチリしている) texture, but it does not always mean that the food being described is made of mochi. Even though some of the mochi donuts might look like a copycat of Pon de Ring. If you have tried Pon de Ring in Japan, you would be able to tell them apart.
