Mini Mochi Rice Nuggets

"The next big sensation in savory snacking at Trader Joe’s proves that good things come in small packages: say hello to Trader Joe’s Mini Mochi Rice Nuggets! These delicious, diminutive morsels of super crispy Mochi are like an itty-bitty version of our acclaimed Mochi Rice Nuggets [sku 56990], offering the same salty, savory flavor and satisfyingly crunchy texture, just on a tinier scale. Why the smaller stature? Simply put, Mini Mochi Rice Nuggets will have relatively more surface area per handful (or mouthful), meaning even more crunch with every bite. And that’s no small feat! We also find that our Mini Mochi Rice Nuggets’ decreased diameter makes them particularly useful as croutons for salads, soups, and anything else that could use a little pop of texture. We like them as a topper for runny eggs and stir-fried noodles, incorporated into casseroles and zucchini boats, or even ground in a food processor and used to bread chicken or fish. And, of course, they’re always a great bar snack option, especially when served alongisde an ice cold beer, a glass of sake or soju, or even just a fun, fizzy soft drink."
