We discovered these tasty little Nuggets in a Japanese airport and instantly fell in love. Theyre made in Japan from the same glutinous rice as mochi, a chewy rice paste. Steamed rice is mechanically kneaded until turned into a silky smooth paste, which is then stretched into long ropes, cut into pieces, and dried. The small squares are fried, which puffs them up. Then, they are tossed in sea salt. The resulting Nuggets are savory and addictive
