3. Make the potato dough into a stick-like shape in the plastic bag, open the plastic bag and then cut the potato dough into 12 equally size pieces.
4. The kneaded dough can be kept in the refrigerator. Wrap each dough piece in an individual plastic bag and then keep in the refrigerator. When eating, you do not need to unfreeze. All you need to do is just bake it in a frying pan, heat it in a microwave oven, or heat up and eat together with soup.
5. Melt some butter in a frying pan and fry it well on medium heat. Flip the Imo mochi upside down, add sauce for coating, close the lid and fry for another 4 to 5 minutes with low heat.
