Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C).
2. Place the peeled garlic cloves in a 9-inch heatproof pan, cover them completely with olive oil, and cover the pan with foil.
3. Bake for about 2 hours, until the cloves are deep golden brown and tender. Set aside.
4. In a medium bowl, mix the prepared mashed potatoes with the potato starch until the starch is fully absorbed. Let stand for 15 minutes.
5. Scoop the potato mixture into 8 balls of about 2 ounces each. Flatten one ball, place a mozzarella cube and a few garlic cloves in the center, wrap the dough around them to seal, pinch the seams, and shape into a patty. Repeat with the rest.
6. Heat the canola oil in a large skillet over medium heat for 2–3 minutes, until it shimmers. Cook the patties 3–4 minutes per side, until golden brown.
7. While the patties cook, stir together the soy sauce, mirin, sake and brown sugar in a bowl.
8. Pour the sauce over the browned patties. Keep cooking over medium heat, turning often, for 3–5 minutes, until the sauce thickens and the patties are evenly glazed.
9. Off the heat, wrap a nori strip around each mochi and serve right away.
