    Arrange the mochi-dipped fries on a serving plate and serve immediately.

Tips

  • Ensure the sweet potato fries are still warm when coating them with the yuzu glaze and mochi mixture. This helps the coatings adhere better.
  • If you don't have yuzu juice, you can substitute with a mix of 2 parts lemon juice to 1 part grapefruit juice for a similar tangy flavor profile.
