The Secret Behind Malony-chan’s Deliciousness
Malony-chan is primarily made from Hokkaido potato starch, blended with domestically produced corn starch. After being kneaded, steamed, and rapidly cooled, the unique ribbon-like shape of Malony-chan is formed, creating a large surface area that absorbs broth effectively.
This enables Malony-chan to soak up delicious flavors, making it a perfect partner for any hot pot. The dried version delivers a “chewy and bouncy” texture, while the fresh type offers a “soft and plump” sensation, providing a delightful culinary experience. Enjoy the cozy season with a customized Malony-chan hot pot!
