Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams glutinous rice flour
- 180 milliliters water
- 50 grams sugar
- 200 grams sweet red bean paste
- 100 grams sesame seeds
- 1000 milliliters vegetable oil
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, dissolve the sugar in the water.
Gradually add the glutinous rice flour to the water mixture, stirring continuously until a dough forms.
Knead the dough gently until it becomes smooth and pliable, about 5 minutes.
Divide the dough into 10 equal pieces.
Flatten each piece of dough into a disc about 5 cm in diameter.
Place about 20 grams of sweet red bean paste in the center of each dough disc.
Carefully wrap the dough around the filling and pinch the edges to seal.
Shape the filled dough into a smooth ball by rolling it gently between your palms.
Spread the sesame seeds on a plate.
Roll each ball in the sesame seeds, ensuring they are fully coated by gently pressing to help the seeds stick.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pan to 160°C (320°F).
Carefully lower a few sesame balls into the hot oil, being sure not to overcrowd the pan.
Fry the balls for 10-12 minutes or until they are golden brown and have doubled in size, turning them occasionally with a slotted spoon for even cooking.
Remove the cooked sesame balls from the oil and drain on paper towels.
Allow them to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm for the best texture.
