\"Mor<\/a>When Santa Barbara resident Tommy Chang was laid off from his\u00a0job as a marketing project manager due to the pandemic, he began
\nexperimenting with the traditional Korean rice cakes and mochi
\nthat he had enjoyed as a child. He tweaked the recipes to develop
\nhis own creations, Chang says, and his mom really liked his mochi
\ndoughnuts. That was when he knew he was ready to go public.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe\u2019s a pretty picky eater,\u201d Chang says, \u201cso when she said,
\n\u2018Hey why don\u2019t you sell these?\u2019\u2014well, for an Asian mom to say to
\nher oldest son, \u2018you should make doughnuts\u2019 is a big confidence
\nbuilder.\u201d<\/p>\n

Chang launched M\u014dr Doughnuts<\/strong> (mordoughnuts.com<\/a>)\u00a0last fall and now offers rotating weekly flavors like Matcha Berry\u00a0Cheesecake, Black Sesame, and mango Taj\u00edn.
\nChang hopes to open a storefront eventually, but for now,\u00a0he sells his four-flavor boxed set for $12 online Friday through\u00a0Saturday. Preorders can be placed starting each Thursday at\u00a0noon for pickup at Jang\u2019s Karate Center<\/a>, his father\u2019s business in\u00a0downtown Santa Barbara.<\/p>\n
