The Better Scoop presents a unique twist on mochi waffles, substituting the chewy mochi for its slightly sweeter counterpart - Nian Gao, a Chinese New Year staple we are all familiar with. Prepared from glutinous rice flour, this sweet sticky rice cake goes perfectly with the light and airy waffles, adding an extra dimension of texture to the dessert.
